Fixed.



carlschmarl2, I hope that picture is a joke... If not your armorer needs some SERIOUS education.


That is our old spare truck. We have bigger trucks that can haul that can not problem. This is one of our big trucks picking up a 25 ton can of concrete.

Send me an e-mail if you would would like to discuss more or want a good contact for LE/MIL at Aimpoint. They would be happy to educate your armorer on proper optics mounting and sights that don't wash out in mild sunlight like that Trijicon Reflex. I just want the best for all LE and Military guys!

Hunter, sorry for the contribution to the crap in your thread. Thanks for the pic, it was entertaining!
You're not kidding about the "wandering zero". We have issues with the thermals all the time. First of all they are heavy as hell and being mounted so high the gun is top heavy...7lbs I think. Secondly the scope freezes up between shots sometimes. I don't know why we use the setup that we use. It's always been a main concern for us. But with budgets and "old school" thinking its tough to get the old regime to change their opinions on stuff. The ACOG does wash out in sunlight. Its too bad they don't offer a dimmer/brightning switch on them. But they are also nice because anyone can pick up any riffle and its zero'd for just about anyone.

Sorry for getting away from the initial purpose of this post...

Carl
