First off, I have zero experience with magnified optics of any kind.
The range I go to is limited to 100yds, but I do go to a range every now and again that has targets out to 550yds.
That's why I would like some magnification. See, I want to buy one scope that will do everything, and from reading these posts month after month, I realize that's a little unrealistic. It's all about flexibility.
I have a Colt w/16" bbl, #46 Sir and #40a rear BUIS.
I figure the C/ACOG would come real close to fitting my needs. I just can't decide on a 2X or 3X. The 3X will get me out there a little farther, but at the same time the FOV will be a little more restrictive and eye relief will be a little shorter. Not being a nose to charging handle kind of shooter makes this a bit of a concern. I am leaning toward the 3X with red triangle and I figure with the BAC feature(once I get used to it)close ups should be quick.
Again, since I don't have any experience with magnified optics, maybe some of you that do can share your experience. I only want to do this once.
Also, how would the heigth of the C/ACOG be mounted on a #19S on a Sir? High? Low? Would another mount work better?
Thanks
