| I need some scope recommendations. I recently bought a S&W M&P 15 T 1/9 with a geisselel trigger and other upgrades. Any recommendations? |
| You have to ask yourself what do you intend to use it for. Long distance varmint hunting, deer hunting, home self defense, 3 gun range toy. That will guide your optics choice as well as your budget. fro 200-100 yards rds with a 3x magnifier gets you self defense range to 200 yards. the 1-4 scopes with a BDC are good at self defense ranges to 400- yards plus depending on how good you are with a gun. RDS range from cheep to expensive as do all scopes for that matter. More money buys you precision optics and longevity in optics. I have a eotech 517( for sale!) I switched over to a 1-4 in part due to the laser sight bothered my asitigmatism. I like the 1-4 and there are a variety of good scope in the moderate price range depending on what features you want and the reticle. There is a good review of all of them in the FAQ at the top of the page. I bought a burris mtac on ebay for 340 and am going to buy a leatherwood cmr4 for my TAVOR. you can also spend a lot on a cantilever mount from Larue or ADM or less on Burris PEPR or Primary arms or SWFA mount. |
| Its mainly for hunting and shooting purposes (I am a good shot). Ive never been one to know all the ins and outs of all the different scopes. I want something with a lifetime warranty (leupold or whatever) that can I can use from 100-300 yards if it will allow me to shoot further great. If I decide I was to shoot a doe in the head with at 200 yards I want a scope that can do it. |
