Ready for the range

Nice guns House of Wax. I have been thinking about buying either an Aimpoint Pro or Vortex Strikefire for my recent 5.56/.223 build. It is pretty much a full custom I built from the ground up.

Axts Ambi Nickel Boron Charging Handle
BCM Gunfighter Stock
Syrac Adjustable block
Faxion gunner barrel

My fiancé is borderline obsessed with guns now. I have to build her one of her own now lol. Little does she know I am going to build a AR 10 in .308 or 6.5 Creedmoore also.

Interestingly you mentioned StrikeFire and old eyes. I actually learned something about myself with this combination. I have a couple of StrikeFires, upon mounting one, I assumed it was defective as I wasn`t seeing a clear red dot but what I had was rather a lazy 8. I called Vortex to discuss getting this fixed. The rep asked me if the lazy 8 followed the optic as I rotated it or weather the 8 stayed in the same place. Come to find out the issue is my eyes. Apparently I have astigmatism and didn`t know it until I got the StrikeFire.

I`ve been looking for a new optic this past week. I have a .50 BMG that has sat in the vault for almost 10 years. I`ve never fired it as I haven`t taken the time to get a good scope for it. I do have significant trigger time behind identical rifles. I have a Millet that would work on it but the rifle deserves better. I`ve finally decided to make it operational and am trying to narrow it down. Unfortuanately things haven`t changed much since the time I bought it. Good glass costs money.

I`d be interested in comments from those that have a nice scope on a .50 BMG. I`ve been looking at Leupold 4`s, US Optics, NightForce and another Millet that they actually warranty for .338 Lapua`s and .50 BMG`s. My other Millet is a lot of scope for the money but the glass isn`t as nice as NightForce or Swarovsky. Let me know what you have.

That is an awesome gun Gearhead. I really don`t think you can go wrong with any of the brands of glass you mentioned. A buddy of mine loves his Nightforce. I have a buddy with a .50 BMG he bought last month, but I don`t think he has put any glass on it yet.

Very cool. I`d love to get an AR-15 sooner than later. Looks like you have a nice facility to shoot at. I`d love to find an outdoor place to shoot at. The local indoor range I go to closes at 6, so it`s not always easy to find time to go.

Man, I can`t imagine having the coin to pick up a .50 (or to feed the beast for that matter lol)

Definitely try to do it sooner. Just in case anything politically happens where it will be tougher to obtain any of the parts. The lower is the most important part and you can buy an Anderson lower for under $50.

The facility is pretty awesome. It`s called Brock`s Gap Training Facility. It is a private range you have to be a member. They have around 6 different ranges to shoot at and one is up to 800 yds. I am one of the few that is a lifetime member. Keep looking around your area I`m sure you will find something.

Most of the .50 guys I know load their own. That helps to some degree keeping the feeding cost down though it still isn`t inexpensive.

Wow, that sounds pretty awesome. Pretty sweet to be a lifetime member.

There`s a pistol club that`s probably 35-40 minutes away that has some indoor and outdoor ranges. Need to look into it again

Yeah, that critter ain`t baked right haha. I didn`t have it open for even 5 minutes and she came over rooting around making it her bed and just looked at me like "what?" Haha

I guess this would kind of be the long and short (.22 short) of it for me. The bullets are .223 and .50 BMG. The .50 comes in at 36 lbs. if I remember correctly, it`s no shoulder rifle.
