Yeah, I looked at both the troy and DD, in the FDE finish. I like it, but I don't like the delta ring being on there with the DD omega. Not sure why it bugs me so much, but it does.
That said, I just hate to take a $200 to $300 gamble on color. Without having one on hand somehwere to actually compare side by side with my receiver color, I'm not sure it would match. My receiver, because it's anodized, tends to change colors quite a bit depending on lighting. In a camera flash, it looks gold or bronze, in real life it looks a little like FDE and tan/olive mixed, and in the picture above it looks FDE. :eek:
But with regards to the length and weight comments, I don't know that I want to go with a longer rail. That was the reason for posting this and with the factors I could think of. If the FSB won't be in the way regardless of the two optics i mentioned, then a mid length rail shouldn't be an issue and would be easier too.
Anyone know a way to get a color sample of the Troy and DD Omega rails? At least a real representative color sample? I'm not a big fan of having 3 to 5 different shades of FDE on my rifles. :rolleyes:
