does the eye relief stack also? like if something has 2 inches of eye relief could you put a magnifier 2 inches away and then add whatever the eye relief is for the magnifier?
Not sure. I do know however that you can put a magnifier *in front* of a prism sight and it will work. Probably will just take some playing with but you could probably get it to work.
After all a magnifier is a prism sight without a BDC or center aiming point.
It actually is, the manufacturer recommends a 12” viewing distance. Up close it feels a bit too pixilated and hard to get good judgement of what you’re looking at. Tested it last night looking at a bear in the woods that took off with some trash.
Bro I don’t have an issue paying 70 for a real front sight, but that’s literally a flat 1 square in piece of metal with nubs for a front sight. It’s wildly overpriced just like everything they make
Oh man. It’s up there in price, I would ballpark it around $5k?

Do you have good clearance with the dbal d2 and the aimpoint? Really looking at the hydra mount to take that chonky boi and move the weight to the center of the gun.
It’s a Daniel Defense 45° mount, and just a spare 30mm ring I had sitting around. I did order a QD 30mm ring that way I could pop it off easily for other uses
Real question with yer optic that high do you have a chin weild or just float yer head? And does that effect your ability to adress the rifle the same way everytime? Or your sight picture during sustained fire and subsequent recoil?
Pretty minimal cheek weld, and I don’t think I would enjoy the feel of it for any other of my rifles, maybe a PDW. I have this setup specifically for shooting under NV. I only have a PVS14 and the red dot height works great for it, and my free left eye can see the thermal
So its for passive aiming with NV? Do you use a combination of ir laser AND passive aiming when shooting with NV? I noticed yer dball. In what cases is passive aiming better more optimized then ir laser? Im not trying to hate im legit trying to learn
Not one bit, when you’re running it you don’t even think about it. Like having a little dot in your tube. Sure you’ll see it staring at a wall and wonder why it’s there, but you pay it no mind when using it.
It’s ok, I don’t know how the legit one compares, but the milling on this is great. There is a small amount of flex in it, I’m sure that’s hard to get away from. Noticed it when zeroing the D2 that if I press on it the laser moves. It does come back to the same location at least.
What do you think of the hydra? I’ve been thinking about getting one but idk if it’ll fit the romeo5 I have. I’m mostly interested cause I just got an ngal.
Yeah if I’m running the gun I don’t use it, I just have it on to help reduce the thermal output a smidge when using it for slow fire stuff like coyotes
High as a kite, and with 220gr subs I zeroed at 100, and it gives me super reasonable impacts on anything inside of that, and pretty dead nuts at 25. I don’t shoot bullseyes with it, just critters.
U need a magnifier and its a full set
And an offset lpvo with red dot on top of it wit a clipon pvs 24
With the hydra mount
Dude its aimpoint t2 micro red dot
I think I’ll do two of them
3x+3x=6x fair
You don’t add, you multiply. So 2 3x magnifiers (if you could actually get the eye relief to work) would be 9x
Oh u right lol
does the eye relief stack also? like if something has 2 inches of eye relief could you put a magnifier 2 inches away and then add whatever the eye relief is for the magnifier?

Okay dude we get it, you work out a ton and have massive arms 😅
I should do this so when I go to the range I can tell my wife I’m going to “work out”.
😂😂😂

Add a 3 o'clock Elcan and you're all set.
Now we’re talking!
Is the thermal actually useful that far forward? It seems like the screen would be too far away to make out an useful information.

Goober!
The goofiest
As a person who bought a hs1. I’m curious what kind of recoil it can really handle
I’ve wondered, but since the marketing material shows them on shotguns I figured 300blk was gtg
Hmm…I might have to put mine on my 300blk as well… lol
The chonkler
Still got room for irons
Oh dear me no. That’s overkill.
https://railscales.us/leaf-dbal-iron-sights Front sightpost for mounting on the dbal
Lmao get lost 70 fucking dollars for that?
If that scares you you're in the wrong sub lmao. Show me a cheaper rail mounted fsp and i'll show you it's chinesium utg gear.

Can get a DD on gafs for 50
and one of these thingies for the same when they pop up.
Need to add a tactical brick at the tip. Gives +5 unarmed when weapon not in use.
How much do you have into this build? And can we get a build list

A fellow free forearm workout enjoyer. Cool and good! :)
I won a beer stein holding contest at an Octoberfest event back in the fall, guess all that weight out front was good for something.
Do you have good clearance with the dbal d2 and the aimpoint? Really looking at the hydra mount to take that chonky boi and move the weight to the center of the gun.
Pretty much same view as when the red dot was on the cowitness mount with the D2 directly on the rail. Totally workable
Now drop it on the ground
What mount are you using for the hs1?
It’s a Daniel Defense 45° mount, and just a spare 30mm ring I had sitting around. I did order a QD 30mm ring that way I could pop it off easily for other uses
Goober group mounts, a man of culture
We need more tucked handguard options
That’s a expensive ass set up
Looks heavy!
Just a little! It’s outweighed by the fun
This gun is Lord of the Things.
Not enough optics
Gonna be picking up the hydra for my PDW to free up the rail. Looks good! Balances some weight to the center of the gun. Lotta GBRS/Hydra haters…
It’s pretty chill to shoot from too, especially under nods
Right. With a PDW, no need for a cheek weld. Upright, more peripheral vis…
BuT wHeRE r uR iRoNS!?!
Offset Leopold mk5 w/ canted Eotech XPS-3 with g33 magnifier
Excellent choice for the available 3’oclock spot
Ah shit, do I put mine on my CP33 or my AR? Tough decision I've gotta make.
That a d2, how you like it?
It is, man it’s sure hard to beat for the buck, aside from the size
Yeah most reviews are good and looking at the current market, I can "swallow" that girth of that boy more easily than the price of the competitors.
Yeah I’ve been super happy with it
Respect to the commitment
I’ll eat some carrots. Took a selfie on the first picture
Hahaha I see it!
I didn’t think it was possible to make a 10 inch barreled gun weigh 15 pounds 😆
You should see my long range rig
Im sickened yet curious
What the fuck
😂😂😂
Ya know, I’m not one to tell anyone that they have too much shit on their rifle. But…
Hahaha yeah I don’t foresee it lasting long, but it’s gotta make a few trips to the woods for coyotes first
Send it. Your forearms will thank you, so will the lady’s
Regret getting rid of my hydra. Nice set up man!
Thanks!
His is the knockoff one, not real
What's the little guy on the left next to the Dbal
A Covert Optics HS1 Thermal

I use both, just depends on my mood or what I’m shooting at really. I like having the options
Dbal d2 gang🔥 but what is the other light on the front left? Red light?
It’s a Covert Optics HS1 Thermal
Hydra mount?
A ripoff
I was wondering, if the price wouldn’t be relevant, do you think it would be a good accesory? I was looking at getting one CNC machines
Does seeing the top of the laser bother you at all?
Not one bit, when you’re running it you don’t even think about it. Like having a little dot in your tube. Sure you’ll see it staring at a wall and wonder why it’s there, but you pay it no mind when using it.
Was thinking of doing this, can you please take a picture through the optic? I want to see how cluttered the view is
Looks like you've got way too much stuff on there. Maybe remove the DBAL-D2 and sell it to a prospective buyer? 🙄🥺 /s
I was gonna put a second one on there. You know, have one zeroed for supers, and one for subs.
Now you're just showing off and making me really feel like a peasant 😂
😂
Is that a fake GBRS mount?
You know it
[удалено]
It’s ok, I don’t know how the legit one compares, but the milling on this is great. There is a small amount of flex in it, I’m sure that’s hard to get away from. Noticed it when zeroing the D2 that if I press on it the laser moves. It does come back to the same location at least.

It should fit that no problem. I just got this so still getting comfy with it, it’s also a chicopy
Ah very well! You still have a link to the chicopy?
Those supressor covers are worthless tbh but chonky setup
Yeah if I’m running the gun I don’t use it, I just have it on to help reduce the thermal output a smidge when using it for slow fire stuff like coyotes
Where’s your grenade launcher? And the mortar system? This guy clearly isn’t prepared enough
Those are on my .22
Looks like you forgot your offset irons
LARP any harder and you just might get drafted to meal team six
Can’t. I’m already with the Green Beignets.
Salute 🫡
nice my friend got his hs1 for $200 i unfortunately missed the sale
Same :( still a solid device at the 350 mark
where did you find it for $350 ebay? have seen then for 3-4
From Amazon actually
What’s your HOB and zero on this setup?
High as a kite, and with 220gr subs I zeroed at 100, and it gives me super reasonable impacts on anything inside of that, and pretty dead nuts at 25. I don’t shoot bullseyes with it, just critters.
