Ok, So I go to the local gunshop to by a .45, and ended up buying a Bushmaster Carbon 15 flattop (dont' ask me how that happened
h.gif). I normally collect and shoot older (sometimes over 100 years old) milsurps and they have no optics. Fish outa water. So, I have been looking and lurking around here for a few days and decided I would rather have something 3x or 4x with a lighted recticle, without going nuts with the $$ and am considering an I.O.R. Valdada 4x. It seems to have what I want. Can anybody here suggest anything else in that price/feature range? And what kind of mounts? I.O.R.'s or... I know little about mounts. This would be for target plinking at the local range, and with my 40 something eyes, a little magnification would be nice after squinting at military V notches for years.
