I'm sure this has been addressed to some extent, but a search turned up nil so.. Anyhow, I'm looking to accessorize my Colt A2 for those 200m+ shots, and I'd like some opinions on good optics that will mount directly to my carrying handle, without obscuring BUIS. I'm looking to spend $300 or less.. basically something a little higher end, but comparable to, the Colt 4x20's. Any info/opinions would be appreciated.. |

200m PLUS? how much plus? you can use your irons to 200 w/o problem. at 200 to say 400 any 4x scope will do. if you wanted to go 200-600 i would try to talk you into a Leupold base and 3.5x10 VariX-III scope. but that's about 500.00 for scope rings and mount. if you want to shoot long range it will cost money. |
| Hm, I need to look closer when I browse through my Bushmaster catalog.. the ARMS #2 seems to be the logical choice for a mount. As far as shot distance, my range only goes out to 200m, but I occasionally shoot slightly longer when I get out to the country - maybe up to 300m or so, nothing terribly long. I plan on piecing together a flattop as soon as I can scrape the cash togerther.. I just want something (for lack of a better term) "neat" to slap on my A2 to pacify me until then. In any case, the ARMS does indeed open up plenty of options. Thanks as always for the input. |

Quoted: Optic + A2 Upper = Compact ACOG Oops just noticed your specified range is < $300... Well all I can say is save up! You will never, ever regret buying an ACOG. It is more robust than Colt 4x20, it is dual illuminated equipped with BAC, your shots will be faster. Tell me more about compact acogs... I have an a-2/20in. that I would like to scope out right. Which compact do you have or like? I have looked at the trijicon website, but would like to hear from the folks who shoot with em. Thanks! |
