Whats your OPTIC of choice for 1st AR15?

[clandestine]

I ran the scope on one of my older ar's in a diffrent mount ( waiting on my larue) I have to say it was fast on target aquastion and the bdc is right one!

This was a great buy and great advice to buy it!!

That gives me a mini chub!

old school iron sights. Worked for me out to 300 meters.

I have Aimpoints, Eotechs, and scopes of different magnifications. My favorite is probably the U.S. Optics 1-4x, although I'd like to try one of their new 1-6x scopes. The Swarovski 1-6x is really nice, but $$$$$$$$$. I have a 1.8-10X, but the view angle is a little narrower than the 1-4x.

1-10x is a bad ass setup, even with the FOV reduction.

First AR?

Iron sights.

I have one. They're hit or miss on quality, but mine is on a competition rifle. The red dot is useless in daylight, so it acts like a regular scope then. Earlier versions had issues, but it seems they cleared them up.

Thanks.

I am leaning to a Burris MTAC or TAC30.

Nice choice. Where are the pics?

Just got a Lucid HD7 week ago and the lucid 2-5 magnifier is on the way with the swing off mount. So far so good. I have an astigmatism and only notice the dot slightly blurred on high power brightness indoors. Once outside it was fine or if you use auto brightness.

My Super Sniper 1-6 finally shipped. I think this scope is going to be the cat's arse.

Ordering myself a Trijicon 4x32 ACOG-RCO (same one they issue in the Army) tomorrow.

It is pricy as hell, but they are amazing.

I'm running a Swarovski z6i. Expensive, but a great scope. Love my 6x. This is THE scope for 3gun.

Thoughts on this Aimpoint for a "basic", no magnification, red-dot for a 16" AR?

For my next build (20" upper), I was thinking something with magnification. How do you folks think this Nikon would do?

Thanks.

 

[BradMacc82]

Hopalong - The PRO is nice, I'm currently running it on a 16" 300BLK. No real complaints so far, but I haven't done too much shooting with it yet. Initial results are positive though.

Wow... They've been advertising them forever as COMING THIS SUMMER.

I heard through the completely unreliable grapevine that they had some kind of issue with Tasco's production queue backing up or they were preempted by orders from another existing contract...

I wonder how it will compare to the Vortex Razor....

Supposedly SWFA had problems with their reticle manufacturer and had to find a new supplier, although they offered up so many excuses who knows at this point? All I ask is that the wait be worth it and all will be forgiven. I fairness they did say this was a preorder and to expect a wait, just not 9 months.

I was going to mount it on an M14, but I may mount it in a Larue mount so I can switch it back and forth between flat top ARs. This whole buying optics for each individual rifle thing is getting too expensive.
