Super sniper scope

[chokeyourself!]

What do you guy's think of them? Which the best super sniper model to mount on an ar-15? FOV @ 100yds, what does that mean? Any advice will help i'm new with scopes, thanks.

Super Sniper is a decent scope for the money. Personally, I think Millet scopes are a better deal or even Bushnell 4200, if you don't need much elevation.

I don't like a fixed power scope. I personally wouldn't even consider a SS.

I totally agree with C.G. post.

I hear the the Konus M-30 scopes are well made and a good value. I plan to try one out.

A lot of people stand by them especially for low recoil, moderately accurate rifles like AR-15s. I would never buy one though, don't get me wrong they aren't bad scopes but I insist on something better. Unless you have a strict budget spend a little more on a Leupold VX-III. There's a wide range of sizes and features and I think they are the best scopes in the 0-600 range.

One thing to keep in mind with scopes is that ignorance is bliss. A lot of people love their scopes and can't imagine what could possible make a more expensive scope in the same size/magnification that much better. Then one day they get to try out something with higher quality glass and the difference is like night and day.

If you just want to throw up a scope for some plinking and don't plan on getting a more accurate rifle or longer ranges than you could be happy with a super sniper. Otherwise spend a little more now and you won't regret it.

And FOV = field of view. its the area you can see at a particular magnification and range, makes more sense in degrees (range independent) but scope manufacturers advertise feet for hunters to make it easy to imagine the size of different silhouettes.

thank for the info guys. I'm gonna get the super sniper, i've heard great reviews on the net and i'm really on a tight budget. And i'm still gonna have to buy some scope rings which are also pricy.

if you want to stay fixed power, bushnell's 3200 10x mildot is a robust piece that will more than easily handle the recoil of the 223/556 and is about 1/2 the price of a super-sniper. of course it doesn't look as tacticool but you could get a whole set-up, scope, rings, caps for less than the price of the SS before rings, acc, etc.

I own leups and have handled USOs, very fine scopes, however, after a TON of research several years ago, before the stopped, then restarted making them for SWFA, I decided to add a SS 10X to my HKSR9T, and I have never looked back.

It is FAR more than moderatley accurate, my best so is 9 shots, .9 inches at 100y.

It also features an etched glass reticle, and has handled hundreds of 308 rounds without a hitch. They are commonly used on .50s, I don't know where the "mild recoil" stuff comes from, I've never seen any complaint that they can't handle recoil.

I'd say its 90% of my leup, tons of elevation, nice mildots, appears bulletproof.

I've got one that I'm using on my 50, but haven't shot it yet

LOL Same story here, what rings are you getting?

[chokeyourself!]

Does anyone know where to get 30mm scope rings for an m4 without the carry handle for a good price? I need some high rings so my front sight won't be in the way.

[aplinker]

Why not buy something more appropriate for an AR for the same or less money?

You're going to have more issues than just rings here, as well. The SS need eye relief...

I have one on my 50. Either the fixed 16 or 20 don't remember which. I and everyone that shoots it has a hard time finding the correct eye distance to actually be able to see through it. Other than that, it has stood up to the recoil.

[Darklyte27]

I have one, its awesome. many people say its a great beginners scope.
312$ shipped and some people compare it to 1000$ scopes.
