[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Flat Top Optics - Suggestions ????

Posted: 2/21/2006 3:41:12 PM EDT

Picking up a 16 inch Heavy Barrel Flat Top Upper AR tomorrow. Debating on optics. Looked at the EO tech today, but I am leaning towards something with some magnification for Varmit hunting like a 3x9x40 scope.

Most shots would be under 100 yards, but with some up to 200 yards shots. Wanted to see what others have used that has worked for you???? I am also using a 4 position CAR type stock.

Thanks in advance for the advice.....

Determine what your primary function is first then go from there.

ACOG, IOR, US OPTICS, LEUPOLD ....

Hey, You never said it had to be cheap .... and you wanted magnification.

I hear good things about the super sniper scope that SWFA sells. Only bad thing is it fixed focal length, no zoom.

SUPER SNIPER

Check out the Acogs, I think the model TA01 might be right for your setup. It a bit spendy but has 4x magnification.

I have three acogs, love them, no batteries, tough construction, compact size, a great additon to a flat top. Below is the link for the military issue unit, only dif is dust caps and windage indication.

I went with a Luepy "European 30" 1.25-4x22.

Leupold looks more like what I am looking for, not sure I need a $1,500 site set up for a $700 rifle.

I'm just looking for now and I'm considering the Trijicon AccuPoint 3X9X40 red triangle or even an equivalent Nikon scope.
