Is that a factory anodized color? I need a FDE rifle badly. Yes, a few years ago Colt produced a run of 6920s that were anodized FDE and OD; I believe the initial run was 500 units each. Subsequent production runs were cerakoted rather than anodized. Colt also produced a short run of anodized FDE 6940s however I am unclear of the amount of units produced. I was fortunate to snag one when they were initially offered and I immediately started modifying it to what you see today. I probably should have left it stock, however I can't leave anything alone.

Glass is clear and reticle looks perfect to me. There's better out there I know, but for the money and plus lifetime warranty no questions asked I couldn't justify spending 2 or 3x as much |

Question for the recce folk out here...
Getting ready to embark on a 16" midlength build.... And in up in the air on the glass.. Either going with a leupy 1.5-5 or a 2.5- 8 illuminated tmr. .... Barrel will be probably a ballistic advantage heavy stainless barrel.... Wearing an aem brake and m4aem5 collar if it has the right step on the barrel... Is the 2.5- 8 overkill?? |

View Quote I had a 1.5-5 on my 5.56 recce for a long time. My biggest gripe was that the spr reticle was very thin and at 1.5x it was not as fast as I would have liked. My buddy got his later with the cmr reticle and it seemed like a big improvement. But ultimately I didnt feel like the 5x was enough for what I wanted to do. I had the 2.5-8 on another rifle (the above MWS) and felt like it wasnt quite enough magnification. Ultimately I decided that if it's not true 1x that it's not fast enough for me compared to just using offset irons (or red dot) that now my recce-h has a 2.5-10 on it with offset irons and my other recce has a vortex 1-4 on it with offset irons. I still wish it had more magnification but im very happy with the 1x on it, and I can always borrow the scope from the recce-h |

Thanks for feedback all. I will say this rifle will be geared to be a do-it-all rifle, and will also probably be a truck gun as well.
I like the idea of the 2.5-8 for stretching it out and punching paper, but also like the 1.5 -5 for quick deployment and getting on target quicker. I did run an old 16" with canted irons, and I liked it, but never ran a doctor yet. Might be a very viable option to bridge the 1x and jump on the glass for magnification. Or i could go traditional arfcom and get both.... |

View Quote I own both scopes. 1.5 on my seal recce, and I'm looking to sell it for either another 2.5-8 or NXS 1-4/2.5-10. The 1.5 sucks. It has shitty eye relief. There's a huge gap in mils on the reticle (spr). The BA premium 16" with spr contour is very accurate. I hand load, and I was getting 5 shot .5moa @100yds |
