- Hey everyone, here's my review of the Antimatter Industries Scopeswitch. This video was previously released on Patreon, where you can get all videos first and more videos that will never be on UA-cam.
Is the Scopeswitch a gimmick? innovation? Lets check it out.
It may, (but not 100% sure) Be me that you were talking about difficulty using re: cover.
I'm talking about using this on more irregular large cover, be it a large flat rock, long cover like hood, braced off a tree branch, etc.
Where the handguard bottom is inaccessible, and typical manipulation would end up occluding the your optic, or physical block the normal use of a support hand.
This type of cover, for me. Is far more prevalent in urban and rural environments that I used this in. It's not really a downside as you can still easily bypass the scope switch when needed, and more of a comment about how I ended up just not using the SS in specific covered based scenarios.
Around narrow cover like window sills, vtac barricades etc. manipulation isn't impeded like you mentioned.
Ayyyyyy it's that guy
I could see this being useful when shooting long range. In the desert shooting at 4-700 yards I found myself often going from 15x down to 8x to transition between targets before zooming back in. If I lost my eye box it was a bitch to reidentify the target. On the other hand at these ranges I'm mostly shooting prone so I wonder how well the switch would work when the rifle is close to the ground or rested on a backpack.
@@Mykaelous I find that when shooting long range, my support hand is back by the stock supporting a bag typically. So the normal way is more natural, and does as you state.
@@BrassFactsnobody cares
that daddy long leg at 19:26 is taking that concussion from that brake like a champ lol
😆🤣
best review on the scopeswitch. thanks aaron
i had a qd detach in training, i snapped it in, gave it a little tug, as i always do, threw it over my shoulder where it fell directly onto the scope. there was some grit in the channel inside the qd cup. i use clips now.
I could def see a use for this during deer season. Minimal movement when using a glass topped AR or AR 10. Killer review!
or you could use off set red dot, take aim with it and then just swap to the optic already set at the magnification you need ...
if you have zeroed both sights properly then you shoul see the target in the scope ...
@@HWG-wm8ld But with it, they'll be doing even finer. Change is not bad.
@@Asghaadyou don’t hunt do you? You can scan the woods out at, say 3x, and then zoom to 15x when you want to get a closer look. The scopeswitch would make that much more convenient than coming off the gun to adjust the dial at the rear of the optic.
@@GeauxRussGeaux except this isnt for 3-15x hunting optics... Its designed for "combat" LPVO optics ... You know 1-4x to 1-10x
@@Asghaad except the commenter mentioned hunting and I don’t see anything in the design that would limit it to 1-4. If it’ll work on a 1-10x, it’ll work on a 3.5-15x. 🤷🏻♂️ but go head man red dot that deer at 200yds. Best of luck.
The idea makes sense, and while it's too much money on a niche product for me now, if they can make a better version 2.0 i might buy it.
Either make it more affordable or a more simple and reliable package deal. Like they already ship it with a Plx-C installed and optimized and ruggedized or something like that.
..WHO wouldn’t go for THAT?
Great video and review on this. I've been thinking about getting one since they were announced and now I think I'm gonna try getting one to play with. And yes...I drop my gun regularly. But 99.99% of the time it's at home, in my garage when I'm either transferring it from my pelican case or when I'm leaning it against something when I'm getting ready to clean or prep it for the range.
Excellent content per usual... I still think we all need a "Everybody gets concrete" t-shirt.
I was waiting for this one!
Came here to say this.
This reminds me when bikes integrated shifting into the brake hoods so you didn't have to reach down to shift gears. Can't wait to see this technology progress.
I know you are talking about Road bikes. My dad still has his Cinelli with Campinolo Sea Record with the shifters on the down tube. He had several other road bikes over the years and transitioned to a mountain bike setup for road.
I enjoy the positivity of a down tube shifter. Feels very solid on my old Fujis
This actually fixes the one major gripe I have with LPVOs, and eliminates the necessity of still running an offset red dot. Though if you DO already run an offset dot you might as well run this with a 4-12x scope instead.
Do you think it would be better if the lever direction to zoom was inverted (i.e push forward to zoom in, pull back to zoom out)? So for longer shots you have the support hand farther out.
I'm almost certain i saw a short where it was this way.
It’s reversible.
I found your channel during covid and find it to be one of the best and non-biased channels in this domain. I started to notice this week that youtube keeps unsubscribing me from your channel and many others like it. Even sometines this happens a few hours after i re-subscribe. What is up with youtube? They don't like conservative or firearm channels.
You’re lookin good dude. Keep up whatever it is you’re doing!
I know it's petty, but every time I see a CTR stock that's not clipped shut, I think "What's the point, then?"
The rear QD.
@@SageDynamicsyou are a power bottom
@@cardboard_shaft your wish is not granted.
BCM gunfighter stock>CTR imo. CTR is pretty good tho. Much better than the B5 SOPMOD or SOPMOD enhanced stocks which will rip your beard hairs out like crazy.
@@SageDynamicsDoes the lever prevent use of the rear QD cup?
I know you have reviewed alot of rifle lpvos and was curious to know your favorite or which lpvo you have put on your own rifle setup? This would be on a ar15 16" or 18" barell
I might consider buying one if they made it for the Trijicon Vcog.
Can you switch the direction of push/pull to slide the magnification either way?
Yep there's videos showing how to do that
This kinda reminds me of the B.A.D. lever but for scopes. Just like the B.A.D lever people will regurgitate whatever they heard on youtube or ARFCOM without trying it and just like the B.A.D lever this will be faster.
These are a lot more expensive than the B.A.D. lever obviously. They're like $450 but it is a cool idea and I'm glad to see people still trying to do something new in the industry.
BTW the PLX-C really is fantastic. I have one and its my favorite LPVO. If you keep an eye out you can get them for a pretty good deal.
Where do they have good deals on the plx? I haven't seen any since they came out
Lol, the bad lever is stupid. So are people who put them on their guns.
@@KeepTheGatesMy dad one on his. He won it at our local NRA banquet in 2018 the gun shop that built it to donate put one on the lower. It’s ok but my friend who shoots a lot broke one and uses the Phase 5 since it is one piece of metal.
Think you using it wrongly because having max zoom and red dot side mounted can achieve what your doing with them. - Now think your an Operator in a some dodgy area with a elevated position you have the Max range of rifle Enemy and everything in between - Now this is where it shines because say you have a scope thats Long Range mile out kind of power your Ar has long barrel can push out quite far this is where you would want it set up So when you Push Out To Zoom so you max control of Rifle for Max range and then pull back for targets Closer and then next target far out again but you eyes in scope and zooming it to what you need for each target then if they are really close then twist to side mounted red dot - Amazing bit of kit and Great review like to see you run it differently to test
Good job. You might want to replace the black with dark brown next time. I did the same thing you did with the black and ended up repainting with brown instead. Also you can use a laundry bag to create a pattern that’s really cool as a substitute for the grass
Great, honest and thorough review as always.
Is the AMU 77g TMK the Atlanta Arms stuff?
I used to be in the "hurr durr, who gonna drop their rifle crowd" then while performing an exercise I tripped over a rock while running and flew face first into a pile of rocks and used my rifle to cushion the fall. I completed the exercise and except for a few scratches everything was fine. That said I still am in the "hurr durr, who's gonna run over their rifle crowd."
*Falls out of a humvee*
Do you think Murphy is a joke?!
Military folks know that nothing is louder than a rifle being dropped on the ground... and I mean NOTHING🫠
I seriously want to see you torture test a Cyelee pistol optic, I saw one yesterday and im seriously blown away by the performance.
It was serious torture, like brutal and the thing survived at the end.
I’ve done a review on the Swampfox Kraken and C&H Duty on Patreon. They’re all the same optic.
Sorry about the question, need to remember to be patient and watch whole video.
Thanks again
Hey sage,
can you do a review on the Holosun SCS 320 Green? looking to see what you think about it. especially being mounted on a p320
Do you know of a place that specializes in rds mounts for different size scope tubes I'm looking for a 12 o'clock position on an lpvo? Holosun footprint preferably.
since the system runs on cables. eventually they will stretch....is there a way to re-tension?
Yep! Very easy to do. There’s also quite a bit of tolerance in how tight it can be and function.
How does it do with dirt and small rocks getting in where the wire runs?
Unsure if i missed it, but is the zoom adjustment path optional?
As in if user wants full zoom at the maximun extension instead of closer to optic?
yeah you can flip it around.
@@Muricanwerewolf thanks for the info 👍
Hey man thanks for the video..looking good
Thank posting on the tube, not to get off track, but what did you think of that Plx compact, $300 just for the burn down.
You the man
I dig it.
Love the Bobbleheads.
I'd like this on a piston system where you can have an adjustable cheek riser without interfering with the CH. The mount seems a bit high for an LPVO in the prone.
Try a Larue Tactical RISR. It has a spring loaded mechanism that allows the riser to be retracted to the wear to clear the charging handle. fits on a CTR stock.
@dnaka2001 Dude! Just looked it up. Thanks for the info. It looks like a smart solution. I might have to try it with my 1.93 dot/magnifier combo.
I ran the scopeswitch a bunch on my spear LT with a PMM light folding stock, no cheek piece, prone with no issues. In the snow, in mud, etc. Various times past 500 yards, out to 1000. Last time was with Dim Desert Nights, got first round hit at 560.
@@BenfromFlux How do you like the Spear LT? You got an 11.5 or a 16? I really like the look of the Spear LT. Seems like a great rifle.
@@armorers_wrench 11.5 - dude, I want to love it, and I do like it, it shoots really nice suppressed. But holy shit, it is SOOOO front heavy, super off balanced with a suppressor, light and laser. So I think I may be moving on from it, at least for now.
Nice to see that lantac rifle make another appearance.
Speed matters. Like this idea a lot.
The almighty Sage has spoken.
@@HWG-wm8ld Yep, from your mom’s wild squirts. She really makes a mess, doesn’t she?

Another Great Video Thanks 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
SEEMS a good innovation, my opinion. MY real thought is: Wow..to HAVE TO NEED a sponsor just to have reputable (any GOOD ?) 77gr ammo AVAILABLE ‘FOR PRACTICE’…is a prerequisite AND then enviable.
Off topic. Like the Lantac Dragon Keymo and Sierra 5 combo.
Hell yeah! If anyone has remaining questions after watching this, ask me. I designed it, so I may be biased, but I will give you the truth.
Next iteration or down the line, any plans for a redesign that takes less rail space?
@@mattschu02absolutely. We have an enhanced mechanical one built off the PLX-C, and an electric version coming. Everything is trade offs though, and the custom one will only work with that specific scope, and the electric one is heavier. There is little to be done to improve rail space without decreasing usability with current scopes, I tried many things.
@@ChristopherGoydich-cb6bdyep! Primary Arms currently, hoping for other companies to work with. The only way to truly improve it is to use a scope made for it.
@@BenfromFlux Ya I originally hated on the steel cable set up. Then I started looking into working up an electromechanical version and realized there's no good way to support most of the scopes on the market without clamps and cables. Too much variance.
Have you thought about reaching out to Light Optical Works in Japan to work up a Scopeswitch specific scope? Most of the big brands are getting their scopes from LOW already. I think that PLX-C comes from them as well.
@@poisonouslead85 There are very few ways of doing it well, especially universally. For sure, we will likely have our own made by LOW, but first, there will be a custom PLXc which should result in a cheaper combo, not requiring the mag ring collar assembly (that assembly costs $40 by itself) and a shorter throw, so less rail space for the control.
Think running this slick nothing under nearth rail or 2 maybe 1 small at the end near muzzle - This on a GQ Pallidum Carbon out to 500 meters be a cool test or a fast DMR setup - but the scope switch is for different range targets quickly not max to min LOL or whats the point especially when you have red dot as well
Great work as usual, I like how you're willing to give things a shot, keep an open mind, and purposely avoid seeing other reviews before conducting your own.
I was curious if you think it'd get messed up with any heavy gravel, sand, or mud in the sliding interface, I might have missed that if you discussed it. Also (might have missed this too), but it can still be adjusted manually like normal, right? As in, we don't need to use the sliding mechanism to adjust the mag? Just wondering for weird positions or a circumstance where you don't want to or can't use the sliding rail. Thanks, and awesome as always 👍
We tested gravel, mud and sand. Nothing stopped its function, and we broke two ARs in torture testing.
Yes, you can always use your mag ring just as you would normally.
Completely agree with you on Aaron’s objectivity, very much appreciate what he does.
there's at least 3 vids on YT of people breaking the mount. Maybe user error. maybe to much dirt idk i dont have one nor want one. just letting it be known you make the choice
@19DESERTFOX91
Well that's why I like to hear from people who have the equipment and have used it.
@@19DESERTFOX91 Three videos of people breaking the mount?? Not a single person has ever broken the mount. Brass Facts over torqued a single screw, and it kept functioning. Hop also has a video of that same exact ScopeSwitch and incident, so that doesn't really count as separate. No other videos show anything breaking. So one guy overtorqued a screw once and the ScopeSwitch continued to function. And those screws are now much thicker and more robust, preventing user error.
@@19DESERTFOX91 I know BrassFacts and Hopp both had experiences with failures but they later came out to say it wasn't installed per spec of the manual and that was allegedly the contribution to their experiences. The guys at antimatter literally made unedited videos of their tests to show the durability of the switch and mount. Obvi its not for everyone. There's no such thing as a "be all end all" in the gun realm.
Anyone know what bolt action on the top righr
T
Thank you
Seems like the next big innovation for the scope switch would be to lessen the length of pull to get to full zoom.
Any chance you can review the Antimatter Wing?
I saw this and was excited for these guys that they'd made something that could be iNnOvAtIvE and also saw promise with it for 3gunners/competitive shooters. I'm switching divisions for next year so this is low on the list but it's for sure something I'm interested in.
I did hear someone having the mechanism stop working but they were straight up abusing it, jerkin it like their chicken. Good to see under normal use it held up but I’ll still wait a little longer to see how the long term durability is.
Lol what!!
He dropped it 4 times, I have thousands of actuations on mine before and after I threw my AR 25 feet into the air onto asphalt three times, amongst many other drops, and mine works better than ever. If it is installed improperly, yes, it can fail. If it’s installed properly, it will not.
@@BenfromFluxaren't you the creator of this product?
@@boejiden1942correct. I may be biased, but I’ve tested it much harder than anyone else. I now have two designs that have surprised Aaron and passed his testing. I know that people’s lives depend on what I make, so I am very critical with my own designs, and test them more than people consider rational. I make that which I want and doesn’t already exist.
Also, fuck Joe Biden, and whoever pulls his strings.
I thought this was such a good idea when I first saw it. Ergonomically speaking it seems likes it would speed things up when shooting at varying distances. Of course there are pros and cons and will only be needed for certain use cases. If I ever build an SPR i'll look into getting one
@@HWG-wm8ld I have not. Perhaps a "fun spr" build.
What size rail is this?
A better solution may be, have a rotating collar on the forend you twist. Or make this work with a flip to center magnifier
At the very least it needs one more gear to invert the input… It should slide out to a more stable position when it zooms-in. And it should pull in to a tighter cqb position as you back out to 1x, so your thumb remains hooked as you go back to work
❤
I still can't believe Aaron didn't break it.
What subtle changes did Antimatter make to the Scopeswitch?
I redesigned the collar for the mag ring to be much less likely to be overtorqued, as that was the issue that Brass Facts incurred. I changed the screws from 2-56 thread pitch to 6-32.
@@BenfromFlux Appreciate the info!
@@R.D.Hoffman No problem, brotha!
People who say they have never dropped their rifles or bumped something have never removed them from the safe.
@@HWG-wm8ldToo true. The biggest blemish on my rifle and optic came from when a dog knocked it over into a boat trailer
Yup. Other then being in vehicle that was blown up some of the most heavily damaged rifles I've seen were guys eating getting in or out of vehicles.
This is a game changer for gamers. See what I did there?
Not for me, but very interesting. Thank you for the review.
The only thing faster would be a neural link dialing mechanically for you😅
I think it would be better to have a series of buttons that have preset magnification settings, and the scope would switch with an electric motor. 1x/3x/6x or whatever with just a finger press.
@DeltaP no they are reliable
@@wx2999 What do you do when your battery dies or the motor binds up because the scope got hit? Rifles are often used in inclement conditions. Shit happens. Batteries can fail to make contact. Electronics are an unnecessary point of failure.
@@bwofficial1776 all optics, all lasers, all lights use batteries. It's not a real issue. Motors dont just bind up either. An electric version would be mechanically simpler and therefore probably more reliable than this one. Also if it does fail, you can just move it with your hand the traditional way
The first review I saw of this, the mechanism broke within 100 rounds. Is this a gen 2 or updated from the original?
Brass facts review? He overtorqued a screw and broke that screw. The ScopeSwitch continued to function, but those screws have been changed to be much larger and stronger screws. That said, Aaron dropped and tested the same design as Brass Facts, and because Aaron installed it correctly, he had no issues with much more torture than Brass Facts put it through.
@@BenfromFlux might have been his review. Good to know that they did beef it up. The only other question I have, should the mechanism jam (say from some foreign object getting stuck in it) would that impede your ability to adjust the optic manually. I assume it would given the way it installs to the optic bell.
@@jasonparent7967 We have yet to have anything jam the system - and we have poured rocks, mud, sand into all channels. This is the reason for the the cable system, as other ways of doing it like gears and such would be much more likely to lock up with debris. Check out our torture test for a glimpse at what we did.
@@BenfromFlux
I do want to point out, you installed the scopeswitch for me.
And that you gave me the green light to "crank on it" when my screws came loose.
you didn't outright state it in some of these comments, but they do heavily imply I fucked up, when it was 100%, as per your own admission a preproduction design failure.
@@BrassFacts Correct, and maybe I should have gone into more detail - I actually have in some comments, in some messages, but it gets very tiring to respond to all internet people who saw your and Hops videos who completely misunderstand the situation. Those videos have resulted in many thousands of people with VAST misunderstandings of what happened, and I do not have time to fully explain the details of each part of the situation every time.
I started the install on your ScopeSwitch, and the collar is the last part, and I was and am incredibly busy, so I had Kara, a brand new employee finish it up. It was her first or second time ever doing so, as we were training her up. Massive mistake.
I wish pretty desperately that I had personally installed the problematic part, as we had never had a breakage or issue before, and we tortured the shit out of them. Had I installed the collar and not gone back to work, this particular conversation wouldn't be happening. Also if I had given you a torque spec, or had spent more time to help you fix it, then things might be different. I take responsibility for this occurrence on many levels, including the design.
Aaron Cowan, however, had exactly the same iteration of pre-production collar that you did, and did torture it much worse than you, and no failures.
I do think that you could have done a better job at not over-torqueing that screw, but I understand I failed in many ways to prevent that, and I will ensure in future comments and messages to include that you did so at my shitty instruction.
What’s the barrel length of this rifle?
What does the whole kit weigh ?
@@HWG-wm8ld Im an Eotech /magnifier guy anyway but I do have a scoped 16'' rifle that already weighs a helluva lot more than id want to fight with Id reckon.
The scope mount and entire system weighs 10.5 oz - most scope mounts are 7-8 oz, so it weighs very little more than most scope mounts.
@@BenfromFlux Right on , thank you. Scoped rifles are heavy anyway, thats why I asked. Its amazing how ounces feel after you get into that 9lb rifle range.
@@rickm4295for sure dude, weight (along with durability/reliability) were the primary design concerns during development. I hate heavy weapons, even SPRs and DMRs.
It operates backwards.
Pushing it forward should = zoom IN
I agree it’s like the setting on a mouse scroll wheel
You can reverse it
I like the innovation but I’m not sure this is a solution to a problem that really doesn’t exist. If you’re switching to your larger power magnification I’m not sure you’re in a position where you’re in immediate danger that you need to switch that fast. I can see going from larger to smaller power but I just have a piggy back red dot for that.
Check out the new brownell red dot
I would have set the slide up opposite so zoom in my hand goes out.
Or you could roll the rifle to your red dot?
Isnt he supposedly Patreon only ?
That daddy long legs at 19:26 was in the fucking trenches lol
Eventually it will probably be a ratcheted sliding tab or bar
Hi do you need video editing service ?
“A better way” lol….. yeah
Bump
Mb meant bushnell
It is more complicated and less reliable than a normal red dot with magnifier
Brass Facts ruined it for me.
Why? How?
im grabbing the liquor before watching this brb
If you aren’t using 550 cord and 100mph tape to rig your sling to your front sight post and stock, what are you even doing?
I'll pass on adding failure points to my rifles to solve problems that don't exist.
Decided to go with a simple red dot. If I'm in a defensive mode, i do not need to be accurate past the red dot capabilities. Home Defense, not neighborhood defense...
Under normal circumstances sure. The way we’re headed, is not normal.

I don’t see this having a place in real world combat. You’ll basically never have to change magnifications that quick, it’s extremely weighty, takes up space, and adds complexity that can/will fail. It bums me that Bill Rapier was a proponent of this, because I distinctly remember hearing him complain about gimmicks a few years ago. And that’s what this is. A gimmick.
That's just your opinion. Just so we have a point of reference, have you ever actually been in real world combat? It's important to this topic because you are making a claim specifically about combat and you're referencing someone who has certainly been in combat who says he likes it.
I don't really see how this is a gimmick. It does what it is advertised to do and appears to be durable. The complexity/potential failure aspect literally doesn't even matter because even if it does fail, which it didn't in this video, the scope still works and can still be adjusted the old fashioned way. The entire system weighs 10.5 oz and 6.3oz of that is an extremely high quality and robust 7075 T6 scope mount with 4140 steel lugs. For reference a Geissele super precision 1.93 scope mount made out of 7075 t6 aluminum weighs 7.2oz. So, you're basically getting a high quality 1.93 scope mount that weighs 6.2oz and for the material type that is pretty standard(it's actually on the lighter side of things as far as 7075 t6 scope mounts go), in addition to that the cables and switch weigh 4.3oz. So, it isn't extremely weighty like you claim. It does add a little weight, but if you can't handle 4oz I dunno but that sounds like a personal problem.
The only valid criticism that you leveled is that it does take up space. But everything is a tradeoff, isn't it? You cannot add any functionality to a rifle without adding weight and taking up railestate. You could say that about anything. Why have a light? It takes up a ton of space, has a bunch of cables, is heavy, needs batteries, etc. Plus, that light adds complexity and could fail! SO why have it??? Besides, you'll probably never use it anyway so just don't even bother.
That's pretty much what you sound like. This isn't necessarily a product for every rifle but it clearly is useful and serves a specific purpose. It isn't a gimmick imo.
@@armorers_wrench🤟 thank you for understanding, and explaining so well.
Maybe you should listen to Bill Rapier, Aaron Cowan, and others. If you do not thing that speed of action matters in combat, you should study combat. Speed matters, PID and accuracy matter, why would speed of PID and accuracy not matter?
@@armorers_wrench I have been in combat, yes. Bill has obviously seen combat as well. But I don’t know his opinion on this product in regards to whether or not he thinks it would do well in combat. As I mentioned, I remember being at AmTac and hearing him talk about his dislike for gimmicks like this. Which is why I’m surprised he got on board with this.
The weight is an issue. My rifle overseas weighed around 15lbs. And that’s with me trying to be thoughtful about weight. My colleagues had rifles that were even heavier. Weight isn’t an issue if you gain something from it. A light will grant you the ability to fight in low light environments. LAM/IR opens up the night for you. But what does this product give you?
It’s at best a “quality of life” product. Like a BAD lever. You don’t need it. But at least the BAD lever is small, and doesn’t hinder anything. I have never been in any combat situation where this product would have helped or made a difference. I have asked others, and they share said opinion. You are taking up space, adding weight, screwing with one of the most important pieces of your weapon system, and for what? To be able to zoom in and out slightly faster?
The only place I can see this being used is in 3 gun comps. And even then, I’m not sure how useful this will be. But as far as combat goes, this is an absolute no go.
@@BenfromFlux I’ve been in combat. Which is how I came to my conclusion. But you probably don’t care about my opinion, do you? I have seen more combat than some of the “tactical” gun tubers out there, yet you’re gonna appeal to them rather than me, because your mind is already made up.
I would go into detail about my own experiences, but since you want to appeal to authority, and preach, I won’t waste my breath.
No drops 😢😢
No drops? He dropped it 4 times?!
The weight on this thing makes it a loser. If your not running a lam, and a can I guess you can get away with it but I don’t see it having a future. Maybe I’m wrong.
Most people aren't moving far enough for weight to be an issue.
It barely adds any weight - what are you comparing it to?
@@BenfromFluxit’s 10.5 ounces. I consider that pretty substantial. You may disagree.
@@dd-km2nethat seems pretty subjective to me. We’ll have to agree to disagree. Happy thanksgiving.
@@jiujitsu5000I think the biggest issue aside from the fact that it’s mad gimmicky is that you can leave your lpvo magnification up and transfer to a dot for close range if you need to. Without additional weight, while saving rail space, as well as money. I don’t see the need that the product actually fulfills.
Brassfacts did destroy this switch tho
You can overtorque or fuck up the install on anything.
@BenfromFlux sure, but them guys are not that stupid to mess up such simple things. Overall that switch thing imho is only good for range sessions.
@@skullofserpent5727actually, Brass Facts can be, just as anyone can be, even while being very intelligent. I know them personally, and like them a lot, but Brass Facts is a monkey, and at the time, I didn’t have torque specs on those screws. The new design, which is referenced with some frustration by Aaron in this video cannot be overtorqued, as the screws are much larger/stronger, going from 2-56 to 6-32.
Did you not see the 2000 rounds and 4 drop tests here? I broke 2 ARs during toture tests, and now run that exact same Scopeswitch with no cleaning or maintenance on a different rifle. I do need to change the scope though, it took a massive beating, and while it functions, it’s not a good scope.
@BenfromFlux well, to each their own.
I hope he hates it. This thing seems so stupid. I just can't believe its nearly $500. Thats as much money as some of my guns.
just wait for some chinese guy on any of the chinesium selling sites make the same thing for at most $50 ...

@@BenfromFlux I did. I just wish the thing wasn’t $500-600 so I could try it for myself.
@@TeensierPythonthey are currently $450 - but yeah, I get it. I wanted to bring them to market at $400, but that’s what the first couple runs cost us to make. Working on continuing to reduce cost without sacrificing any quality.
Can I suggest when doing your drop test load a snap cap in the chamber so you simultaneously test the guns drop safe capability and the optic durability.
Great suggestion
I have started to use empty cases with live primers to know for sure whether or not the round would have ignited in my drop tests. Wish I would have done that for the last few hundred drop tests 😂
Obviously just my personal preference, but more moving components means more things to break when you really can’t afford them to. KISS method all day for me.
This is getting posted in meal team six asap lol😅
Call me jaded, looks like GAMER crap to me. I’d be concerned the wire/mechanism would get bound up and no longer have ability to change scope magnification.
Watch the Antimatter torture test, we did everything you can think of, and broke an AR15 twice during the test. That same scopeswitch hasn’t been cleaned, I’ve had thousands of actuations on it since, and it works perfectly.
Plenty of airplanes uses wires to move the control surfaces so it's not like this is new tech.
@@matthewconnor5483 We actually use the same type of cables as airplanes for flexibility, strength and longevity.
It seems your "pay only" business model isn't working as well...i.e. you are not making as much money.
He doesn’t take money for reviews at all. He barely would talk to me during the review because he wants to be as objective as possible. And we don’t pay people either.
Oh, “it seems” does it? Lol.
@@SageDynamics "LOL?" What are you, 12? You make a big deal about going "pay only" and then throw a few free ones out there....most likely because you were paid to make the advertisements....I mean "reviews."
@@daveandrews5998 you mean I’m doing exactly what I said I was going to do? I mean, what’s your goal here? This isn’t a gotcha, it’s just you complaining that you don’t get things for free as if you’re entitled to it. Feel ‘free’ to just not watch if my capitalism offends you. Oh, and not for nothing, it’s illegal to be paid for a review and not mention it in the video. That should make it easier for you in the future.
@@SageDynamics I appreciate your thoughtful response. I apologize if I overreacted. UA-cam used to be terrific for firearms related instruction and reviews. Of late, the space seems to be being taken over by shills like Mrgunsnshill and Sootch, who, despite it being illegal, will give a glowing reviews for anything made by their sponsors....like Olight. On top of that, there are narrow-minded, Trump-loving hypocrites who think it's their job to promote their alt-right crap. Again, I sincerely apologize if I took my frustration out on you. There is no excuse. Be safe.
