BUDGET OPTICS picture thread (Page 7 of 8)
While I was looking for other stuff a couple days after Christmas I stumbled onto this at PSA. It's the Bushnell AR 1x MP 32mm. They had a clearance for $69.99 and it shipped free. I figured I could hardly go wrong at that price, so I ordered one. Seems pretty clear and the reticle is fairly crisp. The housing is aluminum and should hold up decently. I prefer lower 1/3, but I'll try this for a while and see how I like it. Sorry for the crap photos...

Weaver K40-60B fixed 4x scope in a DNZ mount with a Primary Arms reflex red dot off set. I got good deals on everything. All optics and mounts were $205 shipped and weigh just over 17 ounces, as best as I can tell. It makes a fun set-up. |

All Primary Arms
Older model micro - ADM QD 
4-14x44 FFP - ADM QD 
1-4x24 - Burris QD (typically on my 15-22) 
FBGII on an Ultimak. I had the original fixed base micro on my old AK. That thing went through hell and never quit. That's why I went with PA again for my new AK/Ultimak. 
I can't find a pick of the Gen1 green reflex on my shotgun, but I don't own it anymore anyways. My friend had to have it for his Ruger 22/45. |

Decided to go with a PA 4-14x44 FFP HUD ACSS 308/223 until I have money saved up for a Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 4.5-27x ..... This thing really is better than I expected .... Glass is very good (about like my Vortex PSTs) especially at the price point
Its currently sitting in an ADM recon on my LWRC REPR .... Was banging steel (8 inch plate) at 250 yards today with little effort Heres a video and a few pics .... One of my dad testing it out as well

Just got a Redfield Battlezone 3-9x45. With the rings included out was like 180bux on optics planet. Its got the bullet drop compensator turret for 55gr .223 and another for .308
Rifle is pretty standard milspec stuff. Used a generic lower from my local shop, $50 on sale. JD machine upper with a 16in green mountain 5.56 barrel. Kind of rethinking my quad rail. Not a huge fan but it works alright. Going for lightweight for ease of use. Its not fancy or flashy but it does go bang when I pull the trigger. Hopefully get the scope zeroed tomorrow weaher permitting. 
I don't know why I cant figure out this stupid picture. It's not showing up for me. If anyone knows why, let me know how to fix it. Maybe because I'm on my phone doing it? So much for smart phones. |

Old post, but you're pic is actually fine, you have to take the S off the httpS:// in the URL of the page for it to show up. Don't ask me why, other than someone has something goofed up, you see it a lot on this site with dead pic links. |

I wish PA would bring back a new version of this MD-SP except with a 2MOA dot. A friend and I bought two of these(one for each of us) when they were on a special sale. The closest match to this would be the MD-RBG II which I would recommend for quality versus price.
A couple of years ago, they were unloading the MD-SPs for $59.99 each plus an extra $19.99 for the ARD(killflash), claiming they were left over from an unspecified M4 manufacturer's special outfit. For about $84 each including shipping, I pulled the trigger on the two of them as soon as I saw them because finding a micro red dot with an ARD available for it seemed to be an impossible task at the time. It still does actually. These have a 3MOA dot and I believe were the same as their older MD-07 which had the dial on the left size(which I prefer because you can adjust it with out letting go of the pistol grip). They included PA's own QD 1/3 lower co-witness mount installed which still works great. The sale lasted several hours on their site and disappeared( I guess they sold out the few they had). I have had this red dot for at least two years and have used it on at least three different ARs. It has performed PERFECTLY and always held it's zero even when installed/uninstalled/installed multiple times. They also use the Aimpoint H1/T1 mounting template.

Is my Burris TAC30 cheap enough to play? I think I paid $265 or so back in 2012 or thereabouts when Midway would occasionally put the dark earth colored ones on special. It's been through a lot of rough use with run 'n guns and hunting trips. It is good glass for the money and does well in low light... it's probably the cheapest I would ever go on a magnified optic. It's basically as cheap as you can go on a LPV without dipping into Chinese glass.
