Anybody know anything about UTVs?
We want one but so many options I don’t know where to start.
May want to have up to 4 people in it so was looking at the 2 row ones. But some of the single row ones can fit 3 people and I figured they’d maneuver a lot better.
I want a work/rec one that can do both. Would want to use it around the house pulling out fallen trees, firewood, maybe some attachments and all that but also want it for rec use in case we want to go hit an off-road Park for the weekend or something. Was looking at Polaris Rangers.

I know all the UTV's are expensive as hell. Might as well buy a used Jeep Wrangler

Being in AR it's going to be a little drive for you, but their prices are so good they have people come from CA, NV, etc. They've been selling the fire out of the 2018 Pioneer 1000-5 (technically 5 seats) according to their ******** posts. The 2018 are around $13.5K right now.Anybody know anything about UTVs?

Didn’t think twice about how I’d like the aimpoint before I bought it (never seen one in person)... now I’m thinking how does it compare to MRO.. I have astigmatism and wear glasses/contacts nowadays.
Also thinking about learning to shoot rifle with my left hand since I’m left eye dominant but right hand dominant. I shoot my pistol(s) with my right hand

Eotechs look a bit better. If the doc can’t fix me I may just switch to LPVOs.

That would explain why the Red dots I have look like ass. I thought I just bought crappy optics

Red dots with an astigmatism are definitely annoying, but I've never found it has affected my shooting. Put the blob on the bulls eye and pull trigger. Works just the same as if the dot was more crisp to me.
I want to get lasik done bad, but I can't get myself to pay ~$2k per eye for it. I'll have to keep wearing glasses for now.

It's better with my glasses on va contacts. Can't do Lasik so that option is out completely.

Does it typically take a week or two for Palmetto to ship uppers? Have an order that's been processing for 10 days now.

Not srs.
Maybe partially srs.
PSA shipping used to be a sore subject and running joke around here. They've honestly been pretty good with things I have ordered and I think have been generally much more solid on their processes for most here for some time. But it wouldn't shock me if they had a glitch here and there like "the old days".

Any time you make an order with them, it might ship the next day or it might ship in 2 weeks. I've experienced both and everything in between with them lol.

Just ordered some Scepter water cans. I order a couple every once and a while to keep adding to my water stash. Have a mix of 20L and 10L. Don’t buy as much as I should because it’s not as fun as stashing ammo or whatever.

And it's the busiest buying/shipping time of the year clearly with it being cyber monday week/post black friday week.
Be patient.
