Is spending less than $1,000 on your glass a pooron thing? Poorons like to buy a lot of cheap shit it seems instead of getting one solid fighting rifle setup, they'll instead have 3 pooron scrub armory rifles, no real optics, a turkroach shotgun, a glock, and 3 mystery meat compacts.

You will never use it for anything serious ever where a $300 cheap shit used beat up shotgun with irons wouldn't have served just as well.

Yeah well maybe if you'd spend $400 on perfectly serviceable glass and the other $1600 on ammo it wouldn't be just you because you'd actually be able to shoot.

>Poorons like to buy a lot of cheap shit it seems instead of getting one solid fighting rifle setup
Poorons also tend not to have the time/money/attention span to do the training that would let them get the most out of a good rifle. Even if Tayquan balled out on a milled Arsenal SBR with a good optics mount instead of a Draco with a drum mag, he probably isn't ever gonna bother to invest in gitting gud with it anyway.
>Less than $1000
Let's get some GWOT dudes in here and ask how many people have been murked with $500 Eotechs and Aimpoints over the years.

>>62504931
You move south and market yourself as a pest control professional for big landowners. Make sure to develop a taste for wild boar and/or nutria
>>
>>62504931
First step is to get a rifle, try to get one for free, maybe someone in your family has one, like a grandad. Second step is to find somewhere with animals to hunt, get permission from whoever owns the land, then go there and shoot them. You can pay a butcher to process the meat for you, just arrange in advance.
>>
i think you should spend according to how far you expect to shoot. people who care about 'muh clear glass' on 3x/4x optics are retards. the only time i've ever noticed glass being sub-par was an arken 6-26 at max magnification.

if you are shooting at 1k+ and your entry-level optic is preventing you from shooting better THEN you should considering higher quality shit.
>>
>>62504948
I'm very lucky to get a shot under 200 metres. It's either like 20 metres where I ambush them completely or its out past 300. The last kill I made was at 380 metres.
>>62504948
I also think people exaggerate optics a bit. A lot of guys I know insist on 20x for those 300+ shots but other people say 14x is enough and if you aren't comfortable you shouldn't take the shot.

100% this. You can get glass now from bargain value providers now that would have blown the minds of top tier makers 25 years ago. And the limiting factor for quite awhile will be you. Start cheap, spend the savings on ammo, then fill in the holes over time.

I am so tired of LARPers it’s unreal. Fuck hop. Fuck brassfacts. Fuck dirty civilian. Fuck blue jean operator. (He at least gets credit for being a ranger unlike the previous mentioned neverserveds)
Go join the fucking military instead of prancing around in gear that you will literally never use. You are playing fashion dress up and shooting on flat ranges. Larping used to actually be kinda fun until you tryhard faggots poisoned it.

And for a lot less money than NVG he could just, like, get a secure door and frame so it can't be kicked down. And some shatter resistant film for first story windows. Blows my mind I know guys who have spent $20k+ on all this shit and I know for a fact their stick frame houses have garbage thin particle board and veneer front doors with old tumbler locks and the back door is all glass and that's it. Fucking stupid.

>>62506214
A PSA freedom kit paired with a TA31 is the perfect “one and done” rifle. It also makes guccifags seethe that the optic is 2x the cost of the rifle.

I mean bush craft and survival stuff is fun though. Basically everything I do is regular outdoors stuff but sometimes I'll bring extra gear for training.

You know you don't HAVE to watch those channels? I don't. Only time I look at most "preparedness" stuff is when I'm already looking for any info on something specific. Most of the stuff LARPtoobe makes isn't really helpful for anyone interested in survival stuff because they never talk about anything food/water/sustainement related.

People need to just go camping more. its fun

I spent 800 on my trijicon credo 1-6x sfp and I like it better then vortex and holosun. But mount was 300, if that is part of your queer question. I couldn't bring myself to buy a nightforce and pit that money into ammo.

I feel like you’re a larper if you’ve never been in any kind of high stress situations other than shooting at paper targets. So yeah, if you’ve been in the mil or LE or an African civil war you have some bonafides.
>>
>>62506866
nta but I agree, it's kinda interesting because I don't think "larp" was particularly pejorative at one point from the pov of "insiders". Ie, normal people might always have done it mockingly, but if you're into renaissance faires or whatever genuinely larping just to have a good time and meet people and so on is pretty positive. I can respect gun larpers who do so as like, Stalker game larp and try to just have a theme/budget and explore abandoned places and have a good experience.

But the way >>62505342 is using "larp" which has become the common descriptor is a little funny to think about, because basically it's come around to meaning "not larp". Like, most of the OMG SHTF NGMI LE BOOGERLOOS tards are completely serious, and the ones that aren't are shills trying to exploit the former. They aren't just having a good time and remembering it's all pretend, they're legit whack jobs who think that is literally going to happen and they literally need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on it despite them neglecting genuinely important stuff. It's the mentally ill and desperately lonely being exploited by the ruthlessly cynical who in private mock them. That's what I actually hate about the whole thing.

I can and have mogged bipod/scoped AR builds at 200yds on 6/12 inch gongs, iron sights and standing with my mosins and my SKS but not yet my PM90 though. Feels like this is all I really need, every deer I've shot or come across has been within 75yds and I use my Saiga or my SxS for jackrabbits. I can see the purpose of marksmen within a well-trained militia, given that's the only scenario a sitebound American citizen would see large scale combat outside of the military, but it's still a more niche role in that case and too many long-range specialized builds would probably make things unbalanced. Same as always though, you ideally want to train with and without optics to become a more well-rounded and effective shooter, it does carry over.

the cheapest chinese scope at your local walmart is optically superior to anything fielded in WWII. throw it in some half decent rings that can hold a zero and go learn to fucking shoot. anything more is just a jackoff contest, like showing off an expensive piece of jewelry on your wrist and insisting it's not gay because your faggy little swiss bracelet also tells the time.

If it can’t handle recoil, you’re going to have a bad time. $200 and up is what separates airsoft shitpile optics from actually functional shit
That said, if I see a Nightforce on an aero upper, I’m immediately assuming you’re a fucking moron with more money than sense.

So, safe to assume you own one fairly expensive Seiko, and a half dozen airshit.
>>
>>62504767
Anon, if you have to brag about how expensive your shit is you're probably actually poor yourself and make awful financial decisions on a regular basis, buying things like overpriced optics being part of that. It's not about functionality anymore when you make a post like this, it's about the price tag and perceived bragging rights that gives you.

If you have fancy shit and never actually practice that's another reason you shouldn't bother bragging. People with fancy high priced race guns that never leave the safe are going to get killed in droves by guys that actually practice regularly with their nuggets, hi-points, PSAs, and cheap ass optics in any SHTF scenario. Money doesn't buy skill, practice and hard work does.
