I've seen that optic repeatedly since the most recent Hamas attacks. I'd be curious to know who makes it.
Looks like a broke ass EoTech of sorts.
Do you guys face east and pray also? I thought that was just a Palestinian thing.
I am pretty sure that whatever that optic is, it's been beat to hell and back. This guy is in the Kfir brigade (combat and anti-terror generally), not a Sayaret unit (the analog to US special forces), and they don't get top end stuff.
As for praying, it depends where I am...if I'm in Montana, I face east (towards Jerusalem). If I were to be in Afghanistan, I'd face west (again, towards Jerusalem).
Copy that on the prayers. I forgot you guys love Jerusalem too.
Find out the make and model of that optic if you don't mind. It's the least you could do since I'm the only one that gave a fugk about your being OK.
So while I don't read the posts here about Jews, and I'm sure a good part of the vitriol is simply bigotry, it's not my position to argue with people over their beliefs. My work is focused on combating terror and that is how I fight back against hate.
That starts with some decent optics!
Reservists who were called up didn't get anything more than basic ARs or Tavors at first. After they got back in uniform and were sent to fight they did get more specialized equipment, but when they are not on base or in combat, and definitely when they are in street clothes and off duty (as was the case in the picture I posted) they only go with the basic weapons. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's the way it is.
I just texted the guy in the picture I posted and asked him what he's carrying now that he's back in action and this was what he sent...he really hates the Tavor, but it has an optic and since he's fighting in urban areas it's the best weapon for the job. He didn't identify the optic and it is clearly nothing special.
And Deacon, since I know you love Montana, Jews and guns, here is the picture from my first morning back after I did my Jew prayers before hunting.
In response to other questions, the rocket attacks were unprecedented on the day of the attack and a few days after, but at this point they are far more sporadic. I believe only the movie stars in Israel, like Gal Gadot and Lior Raz, get desert eagles. Glocks are the handgun of choice for regular folks. The really weird thing is that I ran into an old friend and he was carrying a 1980s era S&W 5904 as his personal carry weapon.
Beautiful piece of land in MT.
I like the Tavor. AR’s are great as all around multipurpose rifle for everything from combat, to combat shooting sports, to range and hunting use IMO but I’d take a Tavor over an M4 with a 14.5” barrel as an indoor CQ battle gun or for getting in and out of armored vehicles in an urban setting.

I used to have one. They have weird balance that's hard to get used to. All the weight is in the back. I guess if that was your only gun, you could get used to it, but otherwise, not.

I have an X95 that I like a lot. To me the balance isn’t bad as an indoor house to house type fighting rifle. For all around general shooting the AR is definitely better balanced and a more versatile rifle.
Glad to hear you and your family are safe, Remsen!

Deacon, I prayed towards Florida when I was in Jerusalem a few weeks ago, in addition to my heretical appearance at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher last year
This is what he responded when I asked what the optic is called: אנחנו קוראים להם מ-חמישה, which translates to "we call them mem five". No idea who the maker is, but I suspect that they are the Mepro red dots as others have already stated since "mem five" would mean "M 5" to an English speaker, and that seems to be the name of the RDS Pro.
And Mr Jim, when I was on the farm (before the attack) I showed the guys there your lamb and sheep farmin videos as well as Mr. Sam's cattle videos. Everyone was amazed at the open spaces from Mr. Sam's videos (cattle ranching isn't as common there as lamb and goat ranching) and wanted to see more about the lamb/sheep herds. This is what the operation looks like in Israel. One of them goats took a liking to my shirt. Then we went to grab grilled lamb shawarma for lunch.

Oh park your high horse slick.
I had all the channels open.
No I will not park my high horse.
