You could go with a Aimpoint. They are well proven but no magnification. You mentioned the Acogs at $800 to $900, but you can get a compact Acog 2X20 for $510, or the full size TA01 for $580. You didn't mention your purpose for the scope(short/long range). I would probably go witht he aimpoint if you want something cheap but good.

(USMC - M4 MWS ASSESSMENT INTERIM REPORT / Day Optic Description and Characteristics int report - March 01 to 1 July (01). "DISCUSSION: The Battalion is evaluating 2 basic types of day optic, magnified and non-magnified. Enclosure (3) lists the description and characteristic of each optic currently in use. Both have advantages and disadvantages. a. Magnified Optic Advantages are ease of target identification and ability to employ a designated marksman. The disadvantages are; tunnel vision, fogging, additional training requirement, Slower target identification and engagement and the sight gets hung on gear. b. Non-Magnified Optic Advantages are the ability to shoot with both eyes open and faster target identification and engagement. Disadvantage is fogging. RECOMMENDATION: Field 1 magnified optic per Rifle Squad and a non-magnified optic to all other infantrymen. The characteristics of the magnified optic must be...[s]...The Trijicon ACOG scope has the majority of these characteristics. The characteristics of the non-magnified optic must be: -simple to operate -thumb screw windage and elevation adjustment knobs -elevation graduated scale for quick reference -allow shooter to shoot with both eyes open"... If you've got a minute to read it, it's an interesting report. [url]http://www.lejeune.usmc.mil/2dmardiv/32/Military%20Information/m4_mws_assessment_interim_report.htm[/url] . |
