Is there such a thing? If not, can we start one?

Post pictures of the optics you have on your SBR, with the reason you chose that particular optic.

Thanks!

Aimpoint M3 (Bought used)
Reason: I had it already on a 16" I sold to fund my SBR. It works great for close shots out to 150yds for me. Fast, not too heavy, good battery life, tough and has a 2 MOA dot. One day I may try a Micro, but for now the M3 works.

i moved this eotech from a BM 14.5" upper to this upper, and it was still dead zeroed. im not sure if its the quality of eotech, the quality of the BCM barrel... or both (if both, then i probably also coudlnt call the BM barrel junk either tho

)

Aimpoint Comp M3 2 MOA in Bobro 150 mount.

Accurate, fast, reliable, repeatable, insane battery life.

I have a T1 to try in this role just as soon as the Bobro T1 mount is ready ( which should be pretty soon ).

Anyone run a low powered magnified optic, or a mini ACOG?

Now I need a Bobro 150. I like them better then the 180 I think.

1.5X TA44 w/ amber circle dot reticle and LaRue mount. I used to have a Micro T1 on it but I like the clarity and tiny bit of magnification of the mini ACOG better. That and I am an ACOG whore and also have a 3X TA33.

Edit: QD A2 BUIS on Fixed FSB with an EoTech XPS 2-0. My reason is easy: both eyes open, fast acquire with the EoTech. Just close one eye and use the irons for more precise shots. I chose the XPS 2-0 because it was the smallest, shortest and lightest. I went with the A2 sights because that is what my brain likes.

Trijicon TR-24G. I like the versatility of a 1-4X optic. No batteries and a little magnification to help with any kind of distance shot.

I have always liked the TR24 and I looked through a G last year. I'm also smitten with the tiny ACOGs. Not a bad gun in the thread. keep 'em coming.

Aimpoint Micro with Flip Sights......small, lightweight, and effective sighting system.

Aimpoint Micro with fixed Front and Rear Sights......simple yet effective!

That is true porn.

I prefer Micros and fixed sights, but am interested in seeing what power ACOGs people are using on their SBRs.

Comp M2, Larue LT-129 on my 6.8

10.5" 7.62x39 with an Aimpoint 2000 in a Vortex optics ring

Both guns are way too fun to shoot. Both also have MBUS.

Chose the Comp M2 since I found it NIB for $319 last year.
Chose the Aimpoint 2000 when my friend sold it to me for $25. It's not as wide a FOV but I still hit targets out to 100yds with it easily. MBUS since it's hard to walk away from a pair of them for $60 at my doorstep. Also the flip up easier than many other sites on the market. And they weigh less.

Sorry, only good picture I have

11.5 SBR w/can
Aimpoint Comp M4s, because I wanted something rock solid, that goes a long time between battery changes and uses a battery I can find pretty much anywhere.
I also have Troy(LaRue labeled) flip ups with a tritium front post and CSAT rear aperture

11.5" VCQB SS barrel
Trijicon TA33-R8

It's badass out to at least 500 yards.

This is what I plan on doing too.

I run a Trijicon Reflex on my AR SBR, both on the 11.5" 9mm upper pictured and my 11.5" 5.56, and also on my AR45 that's soon to be SBR'd. They work well and I don't have to think about electronics or batteries. We're always changing the betteries in the AA EoTechs we use here at work, and in the cold weather it gets even worse.

I would like to try an Aimpoint sometime, though.

I originally had an Aimpoint M4 on it but it just looked too big on the little gun, so I swapped it out for the smaller Aimpoint Micro. Seems like a perfect fit to me.

While not an AR that's kinda cute.
