Yeah I am totally doing this, plus it's an excuse to add another tool to the collection. :cool:

I have no proof but I would not be surprised to see the Echelon get on the roster this year or next year max, it looks like it took the Hellcat quite awhile to get added, so my guess its more of a matter of when for the Echelon, not if it will get added. You could always get something you want...

Yup! Thank you, I train regularly with a company here and they offer a class to get started, you still have to do the online exam/fees but I enjoy learning so I dont mind paying for an intro class and being able to ask questions. Having you guys to talk to before I get started is helpful, I...

Wow this is some great advice, thanks everyone! I am studying videos on how to field dress deer, thats a whole other skill set and probably makes hiring an experienced guide more valuable too. I have a range pass so I can go weekly-ish and can shoot out to about 200 yards there, so I am hoping...

Awesome pic! Thanks for sharing. Yeah there are multiple hunting safety courses in my area and I am already connected to some instructors, so I'm sure theyll be a helpful resource too. Since you actually hunt with a very similar setup, any advice on ammo? setup? distance?

Any advice for a first time deer hunt with no experience? I have always been interested but didn’t have outdoorsy parents or connections growing up to anyone that hunts. My overall goal is to become experienced enough to hunt deer for meat (or similarly sized game) on public land once or twice...

I also had to re-zero crimson trace when removed, I figured most if not all bottom mounted battery RDS have this issue. Thanks for the input everyone, since it seems like a toss-up overall and after sleeping on it, I am going for the free upgrade to Hex Wasp. I think realistically the two...

I hear you. Vortex CCW is a great design you might like to try, battery is flush to bottom but lid is on top, 100% cowitness and manual brightness, metal housing, lifetime warranty, comes with pic mount and cover too. It's my go to but the rfx11 or wasp offer would be my back up or top mounted...

Lots of wishful thinking here, there are only two options, RFX11, or Wasp 2.0, lol. My favorite optic is Primary Arms ACSS vulcan, this isnt a wishlist, its trying to take the better choice of two lesser optics being offered for free(ish). I am about 55/45 on choosing the Hex Wasp, I think the...

Also does anyone know what the Wasp 2.0 "electronics upgrades" is referring to over the original? I am guessing better refresh rate and battery optimization similar to what Vortex did with their electronics upgrade, but that is just my assumption and what would make sense.

I totally agree as I have both types and the bottom mounted batteries are annoying, but this isnt what I am asking about, looking for experience or opinions on the two options, its a bonus from a Gear Up purchase from about 3-4 months ago.

Springfield Armory is having Gear Up supply chain issues, I got an offer to upgrade and expedite my Gear Up package sight from an RFX-11 green dot to a Hex Wasp Red dot. Its a "2.0" version, which from what I can find basically just has improved electronics. I was originally looking forward to...

Thanks everyone, appreciate the helpful feedback, I'll try the solvent and pot scrubbers first and then move up to the slow drill if needed. I'll also make it a point to clean more often, though I don't know if it will help keep this down as its probably going to keep carbonizing whatever build...

Hello, Is this amount of damage normal? I have been running the Springfield threaded barrel and self-indexing comp for about 6 months on my hellcat pro. I have taken some all day classes with it and go to the range roughly every 2 weeks or so with it, and clean/oil things up about every 3...

I am 99% sold on an Echelon, but quick question about the manual safety, the review mentioned the changeable grip modules, do they work on the manual safety version? It looks like the safety version grip module is slightly different in the back to accommodate the manual safety.
