What I did find most interesting was the wealth information of reviews in the followup comments. Reticles in SFP optics always appear the same size. It’s used in excellent condition. If you’re a recreational, home defense, or the casual competition shooter, budget about half the cost of the rifle itself for your optic.Was reading until I got to Bushnell… lmao… where did they find these “experts:” at?it’s a catch-22….true experts have been there & done that. Im 60 now.I HAVE THE LEATHERWOOD 1X6X24 CMR BOUGHT IT SPORTSMAN GUIDE AND FOR A EXTRA 10 GOT A 60$ S.S.A.L.T. I’ve got some groups that they tell me aren’t possible from that little rifle/red-dot combo. Yeah, I know. It’s a great scope for coyote hunting, it’s built especially for the 223/556, 55 grain round, I’ve had very good luck with it out to 600 meters, just rangefind how far out your target is, dial the turret and it works awesome!
Otherwise,I shot National Match Course type competition, first with a Winchester Garand, later with bolt action rifles, one Remington 40X and several Model 70 Winchester Standard Target Rifles in calibers30-06 and.308 Win. No sense trying to hide them.Got 3 Aimpoint Pro’s and one EoTech ! I bought it several years ago, and would probably look for something less expensive now.
Mounted on big bore handgun, muzzle loader pistol, muzzle loader long gun and 12 ga turkey gun. Price is a factor for me. I shot a clean,Kind of like buying a pickup truck, back in the 60s, and having to buy the rear bumper separately.I have been lucky. I paid $250 for a Holosun Red Dot w/circle, and I thought that was outrageous! As an example, let’s consider looking at a target 100 yards downrange through a Last, but certainly not least, much of the time, we can do a perfectly acceptable job of hitting targets without extra magnification. To accessory people, how about a good iron sight.The BEST optics are from US OPTICS. NSA has our e-mail addresses anyway. Several years ago I could have without thinking twice about it! That way, windage and elevation compensation using marks on the reticle is always consistent with your expectation.Yeah, I know, Zombies, but stay with me here. I purchased their I have a Bushnell Elite Tactical SMRS 1-6.5×24 for sale if anyone is interested.
Checked to see if the scope rings where loose and, no they were tight. Because I have grown daughters who haven’t the time to hunt, this piece is worth little for plinkingGene: Your comment on the “sightless” AR-15 sounds about right to me. I was stunned at the clarity of the glass and the ruggedness of its body. This sight contains adjustment for bullet drop of a 55gr .223 round for every 100yds.Weaver 849843 Tactical Zombie Scope, 1.5-6×32-Millimeter is discontinuedI loved my EoTech and would have kept it except for all the problems they were having and the cancellations by government agencies and police departments across the country. Since major life changing events I can only dream about buying a scope for $900 or more! And a Geisele?? On a rare occasion wish they had a 2x mag just for a quick “peek”. On the old 5V, 1000yard target, I regularly shot in the mid 90’s out of a possible 100, using the Garand, and my own handloads, they worked well in my rifle,but could well be excessive in another.Gene: I responded earlier to your note. Now as I am aging some sort of a sight aid is much appreciated. I sent it back to Midway and got my money back and If you read the reviews there you will see otherYou buy the cheapest scope they make, it fails, so you condemn the manufacturer’s entire product line.Just because something is “cheap” does not mean it should be junk, especially when made by a company with a good reputation. Low profile options like the My personal preference for best AR 15 scopes use cases requiring some degree of magnification is a low-range variable power optic.
Provided your reticle isn’t too big, if you can see your target, you can hit it. From what I can surmise without actually trying each out, the reflex and holographic sights are very similar, whereas the red dot is exactly what it is: a small red dot in the middle of the scope (which may have any one of hundreds of different reticles including none at all.
I traded a PSA stainless AR15 for them. With bolt action rifles, Model 70 Standard Target Rifles, Redfield Olympic sights, about the same. It is called pride of workmanship. Totally agree many people are hooked on high magnification not necessary unless your hunting mid and long range (vast open areas). Just as good as an Aimpoint but costs much less.The Weaver Kaspa is crap in my experience with it. Once you look thru quality glass, its easy to get spoiled to it. But most of us qualified at 500 yards with iron sights. To keep things simple with SFP scopes, find your target with low magnification and zoom up to high magnification when taking that shot.
Personally speaking, take it for whoever you think it’s worth, how about a “good quality” rear sight, iron sight that is, complete with BOTH windage and elevation click adjustments. Scopes are even easier to describe since I, like many of you, cut their teeth on a .22LR with a simple low-power scope mounted on top. Optic prices for the big name optics are outragous.
Besides, if I buy the cheaper model when that is what I can afford, while I save up for a more expensive model, if the cheaper model is junk, I am most certainly not going to buy THEIR more expensive model because the assumption will be that the more expensive model will be just a bad.I use a Leupold Mark IV CQ/T on my custom built (by me) AR, but it is very pricey now. I picked it up at a local sporting goods store in north Idaho on sale for $249.99 last winter, great scope for the money, and it’s entirely built in Oregon!After that there are many more very good scopes, all by far better as all what you are taking about here.They are all expensive but what are we talking about here? I’ve seen 7x and higher magnifiers from other mfgr’s.What that a$$hole wants and what he is going to get, are two entirely separate things, though. Do you want to start competing in sports like 3-gun? The Kaspa Z is built like a tank and features 1.5-6x magnification and an illuminated reticle.
