So if all goes well i'll have my first AR up and shooting by weeks end, i opted for a flat top upper with intentions of adding some decent optics. I was just wondering what most people around here consider decent to good quality glass. I've seen a lot of people like the Aimpoint systems and similar red dot style sights, but i feel like i'd be more comfortable with something that offers magnification (and i dont really have 400-500 to drop on it right now). so...what are some reccomendations (I'm gonna keep my flame suite close in case this gets bad) -Evan |

I have an Aimpoint Comp 2 2MOA dot, love it for 0 to 100m shooting, I have an RCO A4 and I have a Tasco Target/Varmit 6-24x42, looking to purchase a Tasco Target/Varmit 3-9x42. I like the Tasco mil-dot scopes, great low buck budget scopes that have held up to normal wear and tear with a little side of abuse. At $70 they are good weekend, once a month shooters, wouldn't trust my life on them, but the paper hasn't shot back lately. A Comp 2 or 3, Aimpoint retails around $325 to Comp 4's are around $700 depending on model, with a magnifier Aimpoint seems like the best deal to me, ACOG's usally run about $700 used and up and retail is around $1k or more new. I'm never really liked the Eotechs, BTW: just remember that cheap scopes aren't going to have the same life expectancy as expensive ones and usally break at the worst posible time. |
