I have a mepro trudot and 3x mag now, but I'm prolly gonna swap out the mepro for a holosun with the ACSS at some point. Fawesome reticle.

I never understand why people buy nice rifles and put shit optics on them. I am a member of the x95 group on Facebook and 90% of people have sub $100 optics on them View Quote |

I'm leaning towards a Vortex Strike Eagle currently but I'm not sure about the mount. I want a tall mount if I can get one so I don't have to crane my neck. What makes taller mounts?
|
|
I have a Strike Eagle and Vortex CM-202 30 MM mount. I used this mount on my Tavor and it is the correct height for the Tavor.
|

That's strange as they had recommended the CM-202 on their website in their public questions area but it is not a quick disconnect mount. The center of the CM-202 mount basically puts a 30 MM tube at lower 1/3 co-witness (on a AR-15) which is perfect for me with the Tavor. I decided to stick with my E O Tech for how I use my Tavor.
Maybe they recommended the ADM mount because you requested a High Mount. |
|
Well the ADM mount is 1.9" high from rail to centerline of optic and the Vortex mount is 1.6" so the ADM is definitively higher.

Not sure if I missed it, but what are you looking for in terms of accuracy and target visibility?
For landing body size shots a red dot with a 3x behind it will work all day. Many great red dots in here listed, its a matter of preference mostly. My vote (doesn't matter) is an aimpoint or a MRO. We sometimes run a 6x-24x on the tavor for fun. It really proves the precision the gun can achieve even with a stock trigger. Generally, the rifle is wearing the 4x acog or a 1-8x scope. We were shooting at 300 yards today and it was keeping up with our ARs no sweat. |

I have an Aimpoint PRO on my and have since I got it many years ago. I don't get why someone would buy a short rifle (bullpup) and add a magnified optic. The purpose of the bullpup design is compactness and that should go hand-in-had with a red dot.

Vortex Spitfire 3x on my 5.56 X95 and a Sig Romeo 4 on my 9mm SAR.

No, the point of a bullpup is a compact weapon that retains the capabilities of a longer, conventional one. A 20" AUG is the same length as an 11.5" AR but retains the capabilities of a full length 20" AR. Why not use an optic that takes advantage of that? http://www.silencertalk.com/albums/Steyr/IMG_0800.jpg View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

EoTech 510 (I think. Bought used from a friend.) Battery life is shit with the N's. Looking at a Mepro to replace it.

I use a DI optics eg1. Out of all the stuff I've tried I like it the best.

....but I know most optics mounted for an AR tend to be a little too low for a Tavor ... View Quote You have to fit your optic to your objective (pun intended). My Tavor has been wearing an EOTech since roughly a week after I picked it up, because it fits how I use that rifle. When I run my Tavor, I like to run it as fast as I can go. I'm not saying I can keep up with anyone that is a widely known name in 3 gun circles, but for me, that's what makes the Tavor so much fun. No other reticle that I have used draws the target into the sights (or is it the sights onto the target?) like that circle-dot. I have had enough bad experience with "budget" RDS's to be extremely cautious of them. The most common problems are Un-round dots and/or washed out reticles, those are closely followed by glass that either glares or makes things look distorted. I even had one that claimed to be 3moa dot, but completely covered the width of a silhouette that should have been almost 5moa across at the distance I was shooting. EDIT: IMO, if you want a cheap sighting device, the rifle already has irons built into it. |
|
Have a m21 with the 5moa dot on my SAR. It is nice but I'm thinking of putting a aimpoint pro on it.

If you want a cheap first focal plane scope the Bushnell 1x-4x is on sale now at Brownells for 169. Bushnell is also offering an additional 30% rebate with the purchase making this a really good deal.

Niiiiice. Did you convert a full railed SAR to an IDF profile? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Even then, their gunsmith put the MARS on backwards and sent me an email telling me they could not install the rear backup sight. It was as I was on hold, waiting to speak to my contact I realized what they had done. Let's just say the smith was rather embarassed. Tried to get parts for my buddies Tavor to do the same thing, and IWI no longer carry rhe replacement parts... |

Just an Aimpoint/Larue combo.
I gave the 1-4x setup a shot but didn't care for it on a bullpup. |

Trijicon TA-47R-2 (red triangle 2x20). Works great for me out to 100yds, and is small and light.
I've not been able to shoot beyond that range where I am. |

Mepro M21. It’s a perfect fit and pretty much made for the Tavor family. Triangle reticle is probably the best. Wouldn’t want a bullseye on anything but a shotgun. The strike eagle is alright too, but any scope blocks the gas regulator.
And for the ones putting super cheap optics on theirs, I just don’t understand it. You dole out over $1500 for a rifle, then deck it out with the cheapest glass you can find? Makes no sense to me. |

View Quote As for the optics maybe because they have a budget and they spent most of it on the gun? Or it’s just a plinker for them so they can’t justify a mil spec optic for it. I don’t get people getting worked up about what other people put on their own rifle. If they slapped a $25 airsoft scope on it telling them it probably isn’t going to work long enough to even zero the rifle is one thing but brow beating them for it is a bit silly in my opinion. And no one is even dipping to that level of shit in this thread. |
