    Who all makes camouflage scopes

    I just picked up a Remington R-15 VTR in .223 and looking for a scope to match the Advantage Max-1 camo finish.
    It's got a flat top AR style rail and just want to eventually shoot coyotes but not sure what type of scope so any recommendations would be appreciated.
    This is my first AR style rifle so I don't even know if I can just put on some iron sights on it. If I can, are there some cheap ones I can buy somewhere so I can just shoot at some paper until I get a real scope?

    Good folding "back-up iron sights" (BUIS) aren't cheap but it's worth buying good ones. I prefer Troy Industries for their build quality (~$200 for the pair) or about $280/set with Tritium inserts. Well worth the money. I would call them and have them spec out what you need for that gas block mount.

      It is not possible to install Iron sights onto the R15 due to the gas block being a low profile version not a railed gas block.

        why would you want back up iron sights on a scoped hunting rifle?

        I think the Nikon mount and Nikon scope would be a good combo for a R15

            You can make any scope camm0, just need some masking tape and a couple of rattle cans of paint, that way, you can change the camo if/when your ao changes.

              Why would you put a scope on that? Are you planning on trying to shoot yote's at +600 yards? If not, many people just use real iron sites and stay away from optics. If you're hell bent on using a crutch to hunt with, get any scope you want and just wrap it with camo tape. That way, you are not stuck buying crappy optics just because of the paint job.

                You can get a pair of magpul mbus sights for around $80 total and if you want a scope with camo you can always tape your scope with camo tape.

                  Thanks for the info and went ahead and got the Nikon mount and scope in same pattern. If I can't hit anything with it at least it will look good

                  As for the iron type sights, this is my first AR and really just wanted to shoot it before I got my scope.

                    I have a Nikon on a 7mm Mag and its clear and camo. Nice scope if you need it on a camo rifle like the R-15 you have posted.
