Shoulders v. pecs. All shoulders do during chest exercise is transfer load. Also supported by skeletal cause in line with arm bones.

When hold rifle it is later. Get a 10lb plate/dumbell and hold it out straight in front of you for 30 mins.

Try it and you'll cry too.

Now hold it straight out in front of you like you would do a shoulder raise for 30 minutes.

There are only few outcomes: You burn out and drop it. You are crying but manage to pull through (impressive but now you get my point about alleviating weight) or you lie and pretend like you beasted through it no problem.

Hell record it and post a webm.

Adding weight forward weight for no other reason than looks is smart when trying to reduce forward weight?

>>35139173
To demonstrate that your shoulder muscles are limited in what they can do. The point is to reduce fatigue over extended shooting. Firing hand and rear of rifle are supported by skeletal system. Front of rifle is supported with extended arm. I.e. weight is all pushing down against weak shoulder muscles.

>>35139188
Hence emphasizing the point about weak shoulders.

Prepare for the worst. Plus fatigue build up over time. Do you want to burn out in the middle of long engagement because your whole philosophy was that you will never need to last that long?

>>
>>35139276
You are the one who brought up your rifle. I just played into your stupid example.

Point was shoulders are weak. Even on super strong buff people. The shoulders are stabilizer muscles. So saying lift more doesn't really mean much in this conversation.

Long engagements sporting heavy weight pressing down on shoulders will lead to fatigue and thus piss poor shooting.

This can be mitigated by moving weight rearward so there is less weight on that forward arm and your shoulder.

There is really no counter argument to this except that the rails don't look pretty to you.
>>
>>35139308
Crop it and save it, should sort it out
>>
>>35139252
Again, you said you have a SPRish rifle. Why are you whining about a couple of ounces?
>>
>>35139276
If you recall I said use a 10lb dumbell so you could see how easily and how quickly your shoulders can burn out even with a small weight.
>>
>>35139329
This is for a different build.

Why go with heavier rails on a designated light weight balance build? Just because a trip fag thinks the heavier rail is prettier?
>>
>>35139344
Rigidity. If you want lightweight, go lighter

Nice nametape.

What do you have there, like 20 rounds?

After pretending to be an operator around the house a bit with the 3x fixed and the 1x-5x I decided to stick with the 1x-5x. If I needed the optic professionally though I would definitely get a lighter one like the Kahles K16i because mine weighs 21 ounces.
>>
>>35139369
> shoulders are so fragile

They aren't necessarily fragile, though shoulder injuries are exceedingly common, but they aren't pecs or quads. So lifting and getting big and buff (i.e. lift more girly man!) will only have a marginal effect on shoulder endurance.

I might just be picky with my goals. I want to shoot standing unsupported with sufficient precision over several 30 rnd magazines not necessarily shooting fast just at a consistent pace.

The signs of fall are here.
>>
>>35139468
I never said or implied it wouldn't but that doesnt mean it can be improved further.

This is also subjective to what we consider a long engagement and our metrics for precise fire.

What you find acceptable after running around shooting 100+ rnds standing unsupported I might find paltry.

Just saying. Your preferences in rails are totally valid but adding weight is counter productive even if it is a really good rail.

How important is illumination in a tactical scope?

I want to keep my light weight .308 light, but I also want a quality optic in the 3-12 or 3-15 range.

A Viper PST is 5 ounces heavier than the non-illuminated SWFA competitor.

Is the illumination worth the ounces? Rifle is under 7.5 lbs empty, want to keep it under 10 with suppressor and optic...

Not illuminated. Z6i is, but $2500 (Z6i 2-12x 50mm BR-1H) is more than 3x what I paid for the rifle after stacking some in store discounts on a introductory price.

It's a Savage MSR-10 Hunter.

It may end up all tan later, but I've got several black rifles and am liking colored furniture on black receivers more and more.

May end up just sticking tan mlok grip panels on the rail...

It came with BLACKHAWK! stock and grip, didn't like them, only nice thing I have to say is that the recoil pad was pleasant.

You should fix the color mismatch with the grip and stock, then get a non pig fat MBUS front iron. Then maybe consider a different front vfg. Rifle is solid though.

If you want to buy brand new, you can get an arisaka 600 series body, tailcap or ue07 assembly and malkoff E2T and mount for only a little more than the steamlight and it's widely considered a much better light. That being said, steamlight is considered by many outside of here as a solid budget option.

>>35144080
The body costs the same as the light I want and the tail cap is another $100 then the malkoff is $100 so thats way over the price of the light I want.

I think the rail mount 1 is closer to the size and output of the 300 series actually. I've seen quite a few 600 series SF lights on EE going for around 150 +/- mounting options, some other parts and heads as well if you want to build a good light setup on the cheap. Completely understand not wanting to spend that kind of money on illumination though. Some of the malkoff heads can be found for 85 new if you look around, and the Arisaka bodies for 60. Do what's best for your use and budget though. I've cheaped out on more important parts before and ended up regretting not just waiting longer and saving more. Just my opinion/experience though.

Honestly NTCH just plain out sucks for me. I took some half assed photos to show my sight pictures; left is what I see when I try NTCH, right is what I see when I extend the stock like I usually do and place my cheek on it. I get that part of NTCH is getting the same eye relief every time but I just can't handle it. My eye relief is the same each time without it, so should I just do my own thing?

Maybe this is different for different sight radii, I've got my rear all the way back on the upper, front is all the way forward on 15" handguard. I was taught shooting with irons on G3s with extended stocks, we were told to have a small ring of light between the rear sight ring and front sight ring. AR sights are new to me so the left sight picture just doesn't work, my groups open like hell

That's what I figured, but since I'm new to ARs in general it makes me wonder if I'm pissing on Stoner's grave when I do it. I'm 6' and use the stock (ACS) pulled all the way out, if I have it any shorter my elbow gets fucky after ten minutes from being pushed in under me

wear characteristics
SS will stay accurate for longer
plain CM steel will wear out gradually, reducing accuracy through the life of the barrel, whereas SS will reach a point then start rapidly degrading

now, of course, this means FUCK ALL if it's from some shit fucking barrel maker
in that case it's just that SS is easier to cut and cheaper to make, while they make false claims of increased accuracy

uh
yeah
and it depends on what you're doing, ie magdumping

i believe the number for most SS barrels is around 10,000, before the rifling starts stripping out

>someone shoved .300 BLK into an SS pistol barrel
Spot the tard who has no taste, presumably some r*dditor normie.

>>35145130
I understand SS suffer from throat erosion faster than chrome-moly, due to something about sulphur impurities in the steel. Anything to that? Not that it's a huge concern with what /k/ will be shooting, or in an AR in general.
