    You never touched your optics? What service were you in? I constantly adjusted my ACOG and red dot while i was in the army in iraq.

    He would know the instant he looked in the scope and everything was tiny.

      US Army Aviation and two deployments with the AF. I was never even issued an optic as we only had a handful per company. Can’t touch what Uncle Sugar doesn’t allocate. The only time I touched a weapon that wasn’t a helicopter was during annual qualifications.

        Ah, that makes sense then. Combat arms you pretty much have to know as much about your optics as you do your rifle. Can’t wait for an armorer when you’re out in the willywacks and your shit is broken.
