The I.O.R. 4x42 M2 looks pretty good at around $350 MSRP. See www.bushmaster.com/shopping/scopes/ior-b-10x42m2.asp
If you want to go to 10X I would recommend the Tasco SS10x40. I have one on my AR and really like it. See www.swfa.com/riflescopes/tasco/index.html |

The problem with green followers is that they provide lousy light gathering capability.

Pantera,
Where you mounting this on a flattop or on the carry handle like in the picture? I was looking at this scope for my flattop and I was wondering if the IOR High rings (I can't find the site where I saw these) would be enough to clear the front site post of my 16". Has anyone tried this setup? I'll look for the site URL where I saw those high IOR rings, Impact only has the lower ones. |

O.K. i got it and have looked it over. Optics are not to shabby. its no Kahles but it is better than the standard cheapy scope. It also has 7 brightness levels for the reticule. Now i have to figure out what mount to put it on. Anybody know what a good mount is? Thanks

Save up for the ACOG. Mine is a TA01.
No scope mount needed other than the A2 carry handle. Your already halfway there anyway!  Av. |

I agree on saving for the ACOG. I recently acquired one and I like it very much. look into a used one at a good price. I have the TAO1 as well.

Avalon01,
This is a nice set up. Is the handle mount see-through? What rifle is that? |

Nuckles,
I like your setup. What reticle do you have? Is the one in the photo IR model? |

My rifle is a post-ban Bushmaster 20 inch HBAR. A2 style, with a Harris BR bipod.
If anything else, it can get heavy!  Av. |

Thank you, AV. I'm studying AR-15 scopes. I'm looking for a light, compact scope. It doesn't have to be full-bloom tactical scope with fancy reticles. But I prefer the scope to be light and bright. Just for the range use.

The TA01 is VERY light! I use it all the time at the range, works great!
It has a built in BDC, zeroed at 100 meters. Very easy to hit a target dead on with it. Optics are crystal clear, and everyone who has tried it loves it. It's a big hit at the range, and I let people try it all the time. So far nobody has any negitive commets about it. Built to last too, and has the same coating at the AR-15, so I just looks good sitting on top of the rifle. Av. Edited to say: Trijicon also offers a "kill-flash" filter for the front of the scope and a nice rubber ring for the front eyepeice. Thinking about getting both. Edited again: The scope allows use of iron sights. |

How about a 5x? I don't have a ATN scope but most people who have them seem to like them.
