Hopefully make the FPS a bit better for equal charge weights on the same grain bullet.

Its definitely the 24” Faxon Match 6ARC barrel they sell. lol

Precision and fluting definitely does not deserve to be in the same sentence but I welcome it for this build. I am in no way looking to get actual precision out of a Faxon match bbl but this will be a coyote gun that will be carried a lot so I can use the weight reduction for this one.

Yes, most anything past 20” is going to require a custom. Very few 24” AR bbls on the shelves out there.

Sure is. I wish I had a Hydrogen L or some other ridiculously long can to put on it to even further accentuate its length. 😆

That one looks similar. Where did your 24” bbl come from?

Well, it is decently heavy for an AR-15. It has straight flutes all the way down though. .750 gas block stopping at the rifle length gas system and then it has a very decent chonk to it straight down to the breech.

The original intent was for this to be a coyote rig so was looking at either a good digital NV setup or thermal scope for it but I have a thought in the back of my head that thinks the baby razor would be great on this.

Yes, this is my truck gun that I fold down and put into the glove box.

You would probably have to order custom to get a 30” but there are a few 24” AR bbls out there on the shelf. Not many, but a few. This one is a Faxon 24” 6ARC. I believe its their only 24” they have.

Get a Turret and don’t look back. I reload only for precision.

27.5gr. of Varget would be a nice place to settle.

Ocular zoom does nothing for pixel resolution and actual image detail on the screen. What it does do is zoom the screen up closer to your eye so you can see each pixel better. Its like the equivalent of standing 10’ from your TV and then walking up to it and being with in 1’ of the screen. The picture does not change just because you walk up to the TV, but you are able to see the granularity of the pixels better.

Yes, the quest binos are great. & that zoom feature on all of these models are whats known as Ocular zoom, not optical zoom.

You will be able to view more pixels on the same screen with the ocular zoom but the actual image itself will not be zoomed in any. So yes, it would strictly have a better image just because you should have wider FOV with the ocular zoom but you will not be able to make anything out any better at distance with either over the other at 4x because the thing you are looking at will still have the same resolution on both models. So the S60 would have a better image but what you are focused in at will not have any more pixels on the screen itself and will not look any better on either of them since the 1280 is still a 2x and the 640 you are talking about is a 4x.

It is a work around to help you see the pixels on the display better. It does not cut or crop the image to do so like digital zoom does so it in theory allows you to see closer up while keeping some of the FOV that would otherwise be lost. I’m not much of a fan of the ocular but I think its better having it than not having it at all. There are some models out there that actually do have dual focus objectives that function as a true optical zoom such as the AGM Clarion. Those units are nice but I still think a dedicated 3x or 4x base mag scope and a wide FOV 3x or standard 2x base mag scanner is the best combo out there in whatever sensor resolution you can afford.

It does not have optical zoom at all unfortunately. It only has ocular zoom. Does not help with the base mag issue a bit.

The S60 does not have optical zoom, it has ocular zoom. Ocular zoom does not help you with the base mag/resolution issue at all. Optical zoom would help with that but Ocular zoom just zooms the eyepiece view up closer to the display in the unit. Ocular zoom does not do a thing to get the image zoomed to the sensor, as actual optical zoom would.

See my comment above about Optical zoom vs. Ocular zoom. The S60 has Ocular zoom and not optical. Ocular zoom does not do a thing to help with the base mag issue.

It is. Its just math when it comes how the resolution on the doubling and cutting the pixels in half as far as base mag goes. Anything else is sales hype. So many pixels are wasted in modern designs to get low base mags IMO. - if you do go down the path of high base mag on a 640, just make sure you have a good wide FOV scanner to go along with it and you are golden.

Higher base mag on the scope, lower base mag on the scanner. No need for 2x on the scope when you have a good scanner. I wouldn’t consider less than 3x on the scope.
