| Hello guys, I'm looking for an optic for my flat top AR, ( it's a mutt build with a 20" CMP 1 in 7 twist HB) with a low profile gas block installed. Now here comes the hard part, I would like it to be similar in nature to an AimPoint, but with at least 4 to 6 power in magnification and cost less than an Acog. Anything come to mind guys. Thanks for your help. |

The top two are the ones I'm contemplating on getting. As of now I'm leaning towards the leupold, looked through one the other day and I almost broke down and bought it. Have yet to look through the vortex viper |

Something like this? Burris AR 536
It's only 5x however. This looks interesting, but it will cost an arm & a leg I bet. Coming out this fall: VCOG |

Red Dot: Primary Arms Microdot w/ Riser
6x magnifier Get yourself a pivot/flip mount for the magnifier and call it good. |

Just get an Elcan Specter DR and be done with it. It's 1 and 4x, has an illuminated reticle and a red dot. That's what 1.5k? At least, and God forbid You ever have to send it in for a repair. And it's heavy as Shit and some had POA/ POI shift on the 1 to 4 switchover. For that price the ACOG is the way to go but that is a whole other thread. |

I sent my Elcan in for a defective heli coil for the MRD mount. It wasn't a bad experience. And they over nighted it on their dime |
| Get whatever optic suits your need ...just remember to get a LaRue Mount |
