    Leupold VX-6HD 1-6x24mm MultiGun

    in Rifle - Technical

    I have one of the older models and it's a pretty solid scope. The glass isn't to bad and it's light weight. For the money for the older model I don't think you can go wrong. I haven't had a chance to compare the old model to the newest. As for the Kahles I have no idea how it compares to the VX6.

    MBX 2011 mags

    Are MBX mags worth the money? I'm considering switching to MBX mags and currently running stock STI mags.

     

    I've head negative things about about both brands and never really had any problems with my stock STI mags.

    I'm glad I held out for a STI compatible version. Trojan finally got it on the website today. No pictures tho. I like to see a picture of it before I make the purchase.

    Kydex holster workmanship

    Hello: You can install a Tec-Loc on the Blade Tech if you need to remove it quickly. I have one setup that way for 3-gun. Lots of options for holsters out there. Some are better than others for sure. Thanks, Eric


    I currently I'm running a blade tech holster for my 5" 2011 and like it. I have a 6" pistol being built and decided to give a different smaller holster company a try.

    Hello: Blade Tech make a holster for a STI 6" pistol with either a 6" or standard frame. I think I bought some from Shooters Connection. Thanks, Eric


    I did see blade tech had 6" holster. I decided against it because the kydex holster has a quick disconnect.

    I just purchased a custom kydex holster and I question the quality of the workmanship.

    My question for you guys are kydex holsters normally bumpy? I know it's just cosmetic and it doesn't mess with the function.

    The holster I had before was a B3dd45a6a0e996ce476bd2e9a87d738ea.jpga2115b14902c9f69ed3402bd9b164fad.jpglade tech and I'm not sure if that's considered kydex. Quality of the workmanship seem a little bit nicer compared to my new holster.

    Your set up is similar to mine. I too, noticed a difference in recoil when I switch from my 18in barrel at the start of this season. I said difference because I never noticed an increase in muzzle rise or recoil. Sure If you sit down and focus just on recoil off a bench you will noticed a difference, under the timer however, its much harder to realize that.

    I have tuned my rifle for offhand shots at 50 yards. Its not a perfectly flat shooting rifle, but I know how it reacts and recoils which is more important so I can track my dot and know where it is going to go.

    As far as the new bleed off gas block, I won't ever be convinced of venting off extra gas for our game. Just think about it, you bleed off pressure which will drop your velocity no matter what. I run a SLR7 and once I get it dialed in, I open it up one more click and leave it. I have not adjusted it all year and that's after several thousands of rounds. I know that it is frozen right now, and I will remove it this off season and get it broken free again.

     

    I suggest spending some time adjusting buffer weights and even spring weights along with an adjustable block. Don't focus too much on getting your rifle to shoot "flat", in the long run you will spend more time focusing on getting it dialed in perfectly when you should get it set up so its good, reliable and practice with it. Once I started doing that, rather than tinkering with all of my gear, my performance increased and it showed at major matches this season.

     

    If you have questions, feel free to PM me. I can tell you what my set up is but remember it works for me and its how I like it. Everyone is different, my friend and I have the exact same set up, minus receivers and BCG, yet his to me, shoots flatter than mine but our offhand shooting and rifle work is relatively close because we both know our OWN rifles performance.


    Thanks for your thoughts. I'll let you know if I have any questions.
