2/24/2012 9:50:14 AM EDT alright guys, if I decide to keep it I’ll try getting a kill flash to see if it helps the problem….right now I just want to sell the damn thing because it has frustrated me so much. jmorrell

An AR-10 will also be lighter with comparable parts (heavy barrel, FF rails). AR10′s are also very good with hot loads, they seem to handle it much better than an M14 Scope Mounts, One hot load to the M14 Scope Mounts and say hello to Mr. Bent Op-rod and Hello to Mr Frequent Jams. AR10 is also easy on brass. The Military might not reload, but some of us do so that is another positive. For scope mounting, AR10 is light years ahead because it is already on the Receiver and their is nothing to adjust or break. I think the best M14 Scope Mounts option to mount a scope is the LaRue Tactical SPR-E (or similar) mounted backwards on the Sage top rail. This way you can take off the entire top rail with scope in place to clean the M14 Scope Mounts, and when you put it back, POI shift will be very minimal and not even noticeable. Extraction on the M14 Scope Mounts gets weaker and weaker with the round count, and it does not take a lot of rounds before you have super weak extraction where the shell barely leaves the rile. AR extraction is always positive.

Do not take off your battery compartment when the sight is still on….

what distance are you sighting in…making that kind of adjustment to sight in an optic is not unusual.

I thought I did turn it off, but I could easily be wrong about that. I did not know about this issue so I was not paying close attention.

I had planned to sight it in at 100 yards, but I did not get that chance before taking it to a local pumpkin shoot with the WA group this weekend. I quickly discovered that I was not hitting anything with it, and could see bullet impacts high-right, so I set up a target stand at about 15 yards to test it. Sure enough, the POI was about 3-4 inches high and to the right. I’m just guessing about that as I threw the target away immediately after getting a rough sight in at that distance. After that I was getting consistant hits on small pumpkins out to about 75-80 yards. Many o’ punkin got vaporized that day! I plan to do an accurate sight in at the next opportunity.

The reason I was surprised is that EOTechs are supposed to be bore sighted at the factory, and my carry handle sight is dead on at 200 yards with the aperture at mechanical zero.

Thanks again for the help.

There is only one real way to fix a battery optic issue once and for all……buy an ACOG

Actually, I really did want an ACOG. I have some minor vision problems with dot type sights that don’t occur with ACOGs, but after debating the cost versus the benefits I decided that the additional expense was not worth it for me.

My Aimpoint failed the same way!

Wait a second…no it didnt! Two and a half years after I got it I am still using the same battery. So nevermind.

everything can fail.

Received this from a Threeper I trust implicitly regarding LaRue Tactical quality control problems and service issues. He included a copy of a series of emails back and forth beginning in December of last year. Here’s his latest to me:

Mike,

I’d like to warn people about buying scope mounts from LaRue Tactical since you may well not get the one you need, and then they won’t do anything about it. When you spend $250.00 for a scope mount, it damn well be the one you needed, especially when you called and spoke to their rep before ordering.

If you could warn your readers, I think it would be a great service to them. Perhaps ask David to do the same. The story is in the below email stream.

The picture of my rife, scope mount and scope fitted and bore-sighted attached. As you can see, it has to go all the way up to the turret to get a decent eye relief. Also, I had to crank it all the way up to get it bore-sighted for 100 yards, leaving no more elevation for greater distances.

Before anyone buys a quick disconnect sight from LaRue Tactical, they better know exactly what they need to get because the reps at LaRue have no idea.

The shame is that I have previously purchased two other mounts for ACOGS for my other rifles from them. Still they have no interest in rectifying this situation.

Thanks,

My son has been collecting the components to build himself a 7.62 NATO sniper platform on an Armalite receiver much like the one pictured. He was thinking, if memory serves me correctly, of getting a LaRue Tactical mount like the one pictured. I will discourage him from doing so. –

Q: Pro Ears have become the world leader in high-tech, electronic hearing protection protection/amplification products. When did this phenomena begin and why?
Answer

A: Pro Ears began with entrepreneur Dan Nigro in 1992. Dan was a professional handgun shooter and was unhappy with the current hearing protection protection products. Through his travels he met and became friends with one of the top audio electronics engineers in the world. The relationship between the engineer and the perfectionist resulted with the introduction of Pro Ears and the company has never looked back.
