Ar optics

[BadMatt]

Make sure you like the reticle. Burris' CQ reticle has a big fat red dot in the center which I heard was a lot larger than you'd expect.

@Moneyshot no, through Calguns I got a rig that mounts to my chair. I was shot when I was 14 by a crazy neighbor and was paralyzed from chest down. Trying to get back into shooting.

I hope that guy rots in HELL. I'd say a 1-4 red dot scope would probably fit your needs best. The down side to most of them is usually the red dot is not daylight visible in bright day light. I'd check out Primary Arms. They have awesome quality and cheap prices. I have had a lot of experience with their Micro dot MD06 which my friend had on his shotgun he used for 3-gun for 1.5 years it never lost zero and its very bright. check them out at primary arms.com Great bunch of people. You can find a bunch of reviews on YouTube as well as the net.

I have a Bushnell 3-9 on a 14.5" barrel AR and a Nikon 3-12 on a 16" barrel AR and either one will regularly hit the hanging steel targets at 400 yards at Angeles, I think those plates are about 9"? I'm not a very good shot. For an AR shooting out to 400 I don't see spending more than a couple hundred for a scope. I lot of guys with the Leupolds and Nightforces cut down the inexpensive scopes, maybe I'd agree if I was an operator over in the Middle East but for an average citizen I don't see a reason to spend more.

Quick to judge aren't you. You know nothing of the situation.

Yeah your right crazed neighbor with a gun vs a 14 year old kid. What was I thinking

[Squidward]

The AR gains weight quickly when you start installing scopes and mounts. IMO, a red dot is more than satisfactory for most situations.

I'm not a great shooter and 100 yard shots are very do-able with my Bushnell TRS 25. I think I paid $90 for it.

Here's a vid that may help you decide.

I would go for the Leupold Mark AR 1.5x-4

It is light, very high quality, versatile, and only about $300 if you opt out of the illuminated dot reticle. I have one and really love this optic for a general purpose carbine. It is especially nice for newer shooters because it is very simple to use simply, but has quick adjusting turrets and 2.5 mil markings when you start to get into more advanced distance shooting.

I also second the recommendation of Nikon. I've shot several rifles owned by friends with Nikon glass and they seem to way up on the bang for buck scale.

I'm thinking the Burris AR-332 $349 w $100 mail in rebate. Thoughts?

That actually looks pretty good. Already magnified for some shooting a little further out. Had never heard of it before though.

@ Amazon $308, Burris 300208 AR-332 3x32 Prism Sight (Black) + $100 rebate.

Not bad.

I use to feel the same way about the shooter. But, over time and through my faith I have forgiven him. I am truly blessed with the family I have. It's been 20 years and I believe God has a plan for me. Plus I've gotten to meet u amazing folks. I have a DVD documentary PM me and I'll try to get u a copy. One Love! And thanks for the scope feedback.

In my humble opinion, if you want a scope (not a red dot), the best values ($ x performance) are the Nikon p-223 scopes and the Nikon M-223 scopes. Nikon makes great stuff at a low price. Unless you are shooting in twilight, you don't need super expensive HD glass. In regular daylight, Nikon's glass and clarity seems as good as any. That's my 2 cents.

Agreed....shooting steel or paper from a bench, multiple targets and distances, the Nikon M-223 is a fantastic value for its versatility.

Millett DMS, perhaps? I have never used one, but their mil-dot TRS model is pretty good for the price.
