So I have had this Bushnell EER 2-6x pistol scope for the past 10 or 12 years that has never really had a home. Red dots are for handguns.
So just for fun, I tried mounting it up on the forend of an AR to see if it would work. Eye relief is just about right. Other than looking a little odd, it "feels" okay. I ended up bolting on a cheap Docter knockoff for a close range sight. I had it mounted toward the rear of the receiver, but it blocked too much peripheral vision. Toward the front of the upper it seems much better.
And yes, I realize a matte black scope would look better, but like I said it was what I had on hand.
I might go sight it in and try running it at a local 3-gun match to see how it handles. Aside from looking a little different, it seems like it should perform decent.
Anyone ever try a setup like this?
