I want to get into a magnified optic, but the good ones are pretty expensive.

Using Irons right now but when I get the cash I'll probably buy a used Comp M2.
Got a used (barely) Comp ML3 4 moa and a GG&G cantilever mount. Both here on arfcom.

On my "go to" rifle, a Colt A3 carry handle and standard (F marked) FSB. If I could grab only one rifle, it would be my 14.5" Colt.

I am fairly excited. I know its an SBR but i've shot it to 280 yrds so i feel confident in the gun.

Aimpoint T-1 on Colt 6920.

I also have a mini ACOG mounted on the carry handle of a lightweight A-1 type carbine that is a pretty rugged "go to" gun.

ELCAN DR on a 6940; best of both worlds...

Edit: 6940

I'm running an Aimpoint M4s on my 14.5" (with a pinned flash hider) with a 3x magnifier behind it in a LaRue flip-to-side mount. I really like the combo.

It is my only AR at the moment, but I have a lower I put together that I built as a pistol and I'm just waiting for the upper I want to come back in stock to finish it. I will probably go with an Aimpoint T1 on that one since I want to keep the weight down on it.

Eotech with BUIS.

Aimpoint T1 2MOA on a LaRue mount, backup irons are Troy. For any situation where cover is needed and a regular firing grip can't be used, I have a green Crimson Trace Rail Master laser.

Posted: 5/26/2014 6:42:45 AM EDT

Leupold 1-4 & Magpul... My old eyes need the magnification for identification. Can still hit 300y w/ irons... Just verification to make sure its unfriendly & needs to be put down

Posted: 5/26/2014 6:46:26 AM EDT

Aimpoint M2 that is on 24/7.

My go to weapon isn't an AR. But I use reflex sights with buis of course.

The two ARs I would pick from, if I had to grab an AR, both have SUITs on them. One is .223 and the other is 5.45X39. Both are great shooters. If I chose to grab an AR15.

My goto weapon depends on where.

In home, Bonnie/Clyde Ithaca Mag 10 SA shotgun with a 18.5" barrel or .44 magnum

Outside depends on distance.

I thought magnified optics would win this poll, but it seems most people don't shoot far enough to need them.

Posted: 7/10/2014 8:49:40 PM EDT

Leupold VX-II 6-18 on my 18" "SPR"-ish build
