I'm building a new 16" sprish clone and I'm down to optics selection. The idea is for a very light accurate gp service rifle/trunk gun. Most of the rifles I'm seeing built are utilizing 1x-4x optics set up to co-witness the irons. I have always been inclined to use more scope than that. I guess it's the prairie poodle hunter in me... I recently shot a friend's flat top with an illuminated 10x56 IOR tactical on it. Once I got used to the gun, it was quite easy to use BAC/both eyes open to pop stuff inside 50m and it was super easy (comparatively speaking) to make those 100+m gongs ring. bla bla bla!! My question is, what are the compelling reasons for using low powered optics? - Parallax? - FOV? - Speed? Is the IOR scope the right choice for this gun? |
| You hit the 3 most top reasons to stick with non/ low power magnification. You indicated this is going to be a General purpose Rifle / Trunk weapon, not sure if that means you are an LEO. But anything thats going to take a ride with you continuosly should be at the least as shock proof as they make and able to take a beating in the sense of it getting banged around. Just some thing to keep in perspective. HTH |
