It is amazing how a day at the range brings a feeling of happiness so easily.

Spent the day "breaking in" some new toys and getting sights and optics aligned

Thrill of the day - hitting a 200 yd steel target with a Beretta Cx4 without the aid of optics.

Lesson of the day - hitting a 200 yd target with the Cx4 will be much easier once a quality scope is mounted

Holo-sights are good for old ass eyes like you two.

Todd IMHO a scope on a weapon such as this,built for up close and personal defense,is just a distraction and unnecesary weight.Not sure about the Cx4 but most weapons in this arena have some sort of peep sight that is more than capable of reaching out to it's outer most capabilities.

There's my .02 for the day.

peep sights and my astigmatism do not get along together at all..plays he11 trying to figure out which of the two holes is the right one to line op with the front post.

Possibility is the Eotech holo may come off the AR and onto the Cx4...but then I will still need a good scope for the AR. Either way, I need a scope

OK but we are talking apples and elephants.....sniper rifle vs CX4 I'm guessing in 9mm.Use duck tape to attach a laser pointer on the barrell........Sissy.

I'm going to edit my above reponse just for you.

Well in your defense I just looked and they do make scope mounts for my beloved MP-5.Never seen anyone use a scope on an MP-5 but the fact that they make the mounts tells me some sissy out there has one mounted up.

Guess as I get older I'm just more set in my ways.

Todd......you're still a sissy.LOL

I agree, I'm not all that good of a shot these days but I am so glad I get out every month to the clay course.

The recoil, the sound, walking the course with some buds, a cigar makes for a relaxing day.

Yes 9mm...and why should I duct tape it, when i have a rail that is empty and needing some "tacticool" sh1t on it?

Mosin Nagant for those really long shots

AR/SKS once inside of 250 yd

Cx4 inside 100 yds

45 ACP/40 S&W/9mm 50yds to within hand to hand
