Unfortunately it's a proprietary trigger pack, so I can't toss a better trigger in it. But, for the money, it's a lot of fun to shoot regardless.

    I've wanted a scope setup for the 5.56 like the Mark AR 1.5-4x20mm FireDot that's on my .300 BLK. Midway is running a good sale on the Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x 20mm with the Illuminated FireDot SPR Reticle so I had to jump on it. My goal was to keep the DD as light as possible and the VXR with the LaRue QD mount is about as good as it gets for a magnified optic. A bonus is that the VXR is a big step up in the quality of glass over the Mark AR. I'm tempted to get another one.

    I really like the illuminated reticle on these scopes because with a good weapon light I can hit targets from a good distance at night.

    A helluva lot more doable than from Idaho or Colorado.

    There's also a Braum's in Altus.

    I transported Whataburger from Amarillo up to Colorado Springs one time for my wife. She?s from TX and loves it. Now that?s some serious Grub Hub!

    That's awesome. I flew McD's from Yokota AB to Misawa AB way back in the 80s. That was a pretty common thing.

    I've never been to a Braum's store. I thought they were just an ice cream place...like Baskin Robbins. But apparently they do much more. Kind of an interesting business story.
