This is the red dot rifle I use most often these days. It also happens to be my night time gun. This is an overview of what I’ve done with it by way of accessorizing it and why.

interesting, looking forward to the nect setup video. If i recall, I remember you talking about how the velocity difference from 14.5 to 12.5 is quite small. Cool gun

The IR Negative coating is interesting. You didn't go into it in the video but it's self explanatory.

Great video, great setup. Agree that putting a comp on a fighting rifle is not a good choice. If you can't control a 5.56, you need training, not a compensator.

Nice video and explanation. What's up with the tape on the top of the EXPS3?

For occluding the dot sometimes in training.

You liking that magnafier? I have a exps3 on my 13.9 from sons. Thinking a magnifier might be nice for duty. No real experience with them though. I tried an lpvo and I just was notttt comfortable with it. None the less awesome rifle good video!

They're extremely overrated. Watch Gunthots review of them. I have a friend that owns one and it is no better than any other mid tier ar like a bcm or even an aero. It's Hypebeast shit.

@@beardly0121 Mhhmm. First, I have to care what Gunthots thinks. (Hint, I don’t) Second, I’ve used parts from all the mentioned companies, and sorry, the Hodge parts were better all round, especially better than Aero. Idk why people get so wrapped around the axle about it, trying to tear down a company that makes quality products to what, somehow make themselves feel better about themselves? Idk, doesn’t make much sense.
