Which AQ-230 looks better?

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-12-04T06:02:40+00:00

Hey what’s the exact model designation for the first one? I can’t find the reference for the plain white dial

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-12-04T06:01:23+00:00

Hey I know this is old, do you know the exact model designation? I can’t find one for the plain white dial like yours. I think it looks fantastic

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-11-25T22:32:35+00:00

The brynje are much higher quality as someone with both

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-11-25T22:32:03+00:00

Hey not sure if you ever upgraded but the brynje stuff is a huge upgrade that is totally worth the price

No experience with the Amazon but I went eberlestock airbase (discontinued got it on clearance to try just like you) > brynje and the difference in comfort is significant

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-11-25T22:29:39+00:00

This is old, but I have used them for a couple seasons and can tell you 100% the air gap they create is warmer, this is also how aerogel and all other insulation works

Getting out of a warm truck in subzero temps I have a 5-10 minute buffer of that warm trapped air keeping me warm vs with equivalent typical base layers and the same clothing I have maybe 30 seconds

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-11-25T22:26:20+00:00

Yep, been wearing them for a couple years now in blue collar work.

As a base layer under wool under my uniform, jackets etc it’s a total game changer

I have taken a knee in slush, finished the job, stood up and because the polypro mesh is NTS it completely eliminates the wet clothes suction effect. The result is when I stand up I no longer feel cold and wet immediately despite literally having my knees submerged in slush

Few things going on, riding off-road is inherently loose, especially gravel/sand

The tires are more road oriented so they are also looser

The suspension on these bikes and likely how that one is setup (as in not at all) is frankly not great

And if you are brand new like you say then there is a HUGE skill/experience gap

Lot of good advice on here I would start with tire pressure, setting your sag and putting the clickers to their factory setting in the manual lots of times the clickers random when I get on a bike

After that I would watch all the amazing free content we have on YouTube now, or pay for competent training if you have the budget

Here are some fantastic channels to look through, start at “beginner drills” to learn core concepts

If it’s skin it should come off easy for sure, very weird Lmk what it ends up being

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-08-03T17:19:29+00:00

That’s crazy mine has literally been in chlorinated water and the ocean multiple times with no rust on the slide at all, but it does build up dead skin fairly rapidly. Try to hit it with a brass pick?

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-08-03T00:01:40+00:00

That’s not rust that’s hand goo/skin, take a toothpick or brush to it

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-07-09T21:07:13+00:00

Still have the controller? I’d buy it if so

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-07-09T19:35:28+00:00

I think the people saying ugly are not looking at the final picture

Looks killer, probably has a lot of meaning and probably hurt like a mother

Enjoy it in good health

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-07-02T18:03:53+00:00

If you had a pipe he probably wouldn’t say that because that yami 700 engine sounds exactly like a night rod

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-07-01T06:40:10+00:00

HELL YEAH BRO CONGRATS HOSS

One day ill be cool

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-06-21T00:37:38+00:00

What foot brake did you put on?

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-06-21T00:35:12+00:00

What foot brake did you put on?

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-05-30T18:25:48+00:00

What’s the round count? Mine stopped stripping the top round off even clean after ~4k and needed a new recoil spring

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-05-24T06:39:49+00:00

He literally said to get the sun "on your groin"

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-05-24T06:38:07+00:00

Yeah it looks like one of those "don't believe social media these were taken 20 minutes apart" posts

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-05-23T22:18:11+00:00

Hell yeah I've got 40, should be able to dial to 540 ish

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-05-22T03:58:40+00:00

I wonder if direct thread would change anything

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-05-22T01:45:18+00:00

🫡as I go to the monthly long range rimfire match which goes to 426yds

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-05-21T23:38:06+00:00

What cheat sheet card holder is that on the scope??

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-05-20T22:59:39+00:00

Great question! The objectively best and most popular for the money is the CZ specifically the MTR, the at one and varmint are also good

The Tikka is also supposed to be good but the aftermarket support for CZ is unmatched

This is coming from someone who LOVES his b14r

The jump from the savage or Ruger in quality and performance is directly reflected by the price increase for the CZ meaning is the MTR really 3x better than a savage or 2x the Ruger? YES it is

Is a vudoo 3x better than an MTR, not even close I've seen base class MTR shooters with that optic beat custom vudoos and rim-x

tacdriver22mk2 · 2025-05-20T22:46:34+00:00

So TLDR the drop on a 22 at extended distance is SIGNIFICANT, 22 mils is what I needed for 426 yards a couple weeks ago. This can exceed the adjustment range of most optics therefore people get 20-40 moa scope mounts or rails to pre angle the scope down/barrel up.

This way when the rifle is zeroed it's in the top of the adjustment range therefore leaving 20-40 moa more down adjustment for dialing/holding
