Re: My OBR
Beins your rifle is already set for the SF, go with it and let us know what you think! Make sure to check alignment as I don`t trust anyones threadjobs.john.t.little1 wrote:My OBR just got to the house and want to put a can on it.

If money isn`t a problem, buy more guns and cans. Let us know what you think!
SF does have a proven minimal poi. Never seen it myself though. Too many $ fer now.
Re: My OBR
You will love a SF can on that gun
Ive got 2 customers with 2 of rifles with 2 of those cans(theyre lawyers) and they love the zero to small amount POI shift and to me they dont sound that bad
The last time we went shooting he had the PredatAR and was shooting without the can to see how much POI shift he had at 750yds when he added the can his impact only moved about a foot to the right
The only down sides to them would be the price and that they dont come with an adapter

Re: My OBR
I don't mind spending the extra money for a different QD mount. is surefire worth the $$?

Re: My OBR
Call LaRue and ask them their thoughts on AAC they dont recommend them and they can go into more detail about it. They recommend YHM over AAC

Re: My OBR
I believe this might have more to do with LaRue as a company and AAC as a company, considering that LaRue defended someone against a lawsuit from AAC, and there is just bad blood in general between them, as best I understand it. I don't deal with either company much if I can help it, so I might be off-base on the finer details.BLAKE2131 wrote:Call LaRue and ask them their thoughts on AAC they dont recommend them and they can go into more detail about it.

IMO: Yes Surefire is worth it. I like mine so much I bought another one just like it just to keep in the safe in case anything happens to the first that requires a trip to Surefire or replacement or something. They are awesome.

Re: My OBR
I had a buddy buy a surefire 308 can for his precision rifle and spend twice as much as other cans because he'd "heard" so much about surefire having almost no POI shift.
He had 6" shift at 100yrds. You're going to get some shift with any can. He could have spent a lot less money for a can of similar or better quality.

If everything is nuts on strait, there should be no six inch, no matter the can thats on it.
Re: My OBR
^ could have been a number of things rifle didnt like the can, ammo, he sneezed when firing lol, etc
Everyone thinks a can will work with any ammo but in reality there are so many variables
The last time i shot an SF can it was on 3 OBRs and one AI 308 shooting Fed GM 168 and 175gr they all showed little to no POI shift when we shot 3 shots off then 3 shots on BUT we had some 308 subs from corbon that we ran through the AI with the SF on and the smallest group at 100yds was around 5" but we tried them in a 700 with a YHM 762ti and at 100yds they went in to just over a inch
Some people like pickles some dont same goes for guns
