Recently acquired a Ruger AR. No iron sights with picatinny handguards.
Added the Mepro RDS but I;m having a real hard time seeing targets at 50 yards!
At the range twice and still not zero'd to my satisfaction.
I'm considering a magnifier vs. switching to a scope or other optic.
It's primarily a SHTF set up with a probable range of 0-200 yds, max.
I don't know much about optics as my only rifle experience was M16 with irons back in the 70's I figured I'd stay with a platform I was comfortable with.
Any insights would be appreciated.
