Edit for the switch from a 4200T to a 6500T on my 15.5" upper..
I have finally settled on a Optics package for my AR uppers:D Just picked up a Bushnell 6500 Tactical 2.5x16x44mm Mil-dot in a Burris PEPR mount for my precision upper and have mounted a Bushnell TRS-25 dot sight at 45 degrees off the main scope tube(Millet 30mm acc rail ring). I think with the 2.5x and an extra dot sight I can still retain some close up use with the longer upper as well as a long range zoom for the reach of the .223. My 11.5 upper sports a EOTec on a Larue 110 mount with a Arms BUIS and a light/laser offset on the front handguard. Light and very fast and I do have a 3x on a twist off mount if I need a bit of zoom. Had just finished selling my 4200 Tactical to get some of the funds needed for the 6500T and was at Wholesale Supply on St James. They were nice enough to have one in stock ready to go and even matched the price of an online competitor to save me from waiting a week to get one through an online deal. A big thanks to the guys there:D Even had some FGMM ammo too:eek: Nice to have a store like that in your back yard! I am finally happy with my Optics selection and just wanted to share...Any hints or comments would be great! 
Happy to finally have a working system:D as of June 2010 |

C-More Systems ATAC. Aluminum Body C-more RDS, mounted inside a Mil-spec chopped Carry Handle w/ A2 BUIS for 100% co-witness. Field swappable diodes from 2MOA up to 16MOA. Takes about 2 minutes to change. Takes 1/3N size batteries, which are about the size of a #2 pencil eraser, last about 700-900 hours, takes under 1 minute to swap with thumbscrews holding the battery cover in place. C-more Systems sells them for about $500, but since few like them and few use them, they can be found for under $400. Beware, Chi-Com fakes are easy to find for under $50.

I don't know anyone taking that initiative. We've been busy ridding the world of bolt-guns, one OBR at a time. (hey, that's good sig line material) - Mark Fingar

Here is my Leupold Prismatic I bought for my PS90.
For me, it was an easy decision as to which optic to buy. The PS90 TR has no real ability to use BUIS and the Prismatic can still be used without batteries. In fact, I don't even use the illuminated feature very often.

Apologies for the images. The phone cam is the only thing at my disposal for the time being.
Pics updated 6/12 Leupold VX-1 1-4x20mm on a Smith Enterprise STANAG mount with IOR V-Tac rings. The scope has a couple options added at the Custom Shop: German #1 reticle CDS elevation turret with M855 BDC The rear cap fouls the view a bit, so I'm on the fence whether I'm keeping that on there. Rifle is "Stubbs," my dissy post-ban Colt H-Bar.
