Optics/Mount:
Ignore the front sight was just trying something out, I normally run the Magpul flips up sights as a back-up in case my scope was to break or mount falls off/comes loose. I like them case they are spring loaded and super-fast to deploy. When looking at scopes I wanted something that had a 1x or something close to it and went higher than 4x without breaking the bank. After looking at tons of different options I settled with the Burris MTAC 1.5-6, and have had really good luck with it so far, the hold overs work well for fast longer shots (300 yards.) The mount pictured has since been replaced and it came free with the scope. The optic now rests in a Larue one-piece quick detach, which I highly recommend. Was in the middle of a stage at a bigger match and despite using lock-tite and torqueing the screws on the Burris mount, my shots started stringing horizontally and then the scope just fell off. So needless to say I will forever be a Larue QD Mount user.

Vortex Missing Masters
One of two possible reasons for a “missing master” error is that the file is not active or installed, or that it has a different name than what the plugin expects.

Some of the most common causes of “Deployment Failed” errors in Vortex are listed below.
- File for deployment that is damaged in JSON
