MID-RANGE OPTICS picture thread (Page 2 of 5)
My humble submission. Bad picture, but it'll have to do. I just got this scope last week, and got it mounted over the weekend. There are two obvious omissions from this rifle. First, I have a front BUIS but no rear BUIS. Second, I need the flip-up scope cover for the objective. The local sporting goods store had the one for the eyepiece, but I knew finding the odd sized one locally wasn't going to happen.
The scope is a Bushnell Elite 4200 1.25-4x24 with illuminated reticle. I was going to get a Vortex, but when I found this Elite available for $329 I jumped on it. Initial impressions are good. The rifle is a 6.8mm. |

My Current setup: Using Primary Arms Multi-Reticle Red dot M3 and 3X magnifier on custom spring flip-to-side mount. (total setup is near the $250) I've only had time to shoot with it once and wasn't able to get it completely sighted in, but I should be able to do that next week.

Burris AR-332: 3X magnification. A really great optic for it's price. I have heard of problems with the reticle being canted, but I have no such problems. I put it on a Trijicon ACOG mount and it is rock solid. I am a big fan.

Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 on a Novekse 6.8 SPR
8 shots @ 100 yards. My 1st attempt at 100 and 1st day at the range with this scope. The Vortex was 2 inches Left and 1 inch Low, out of the box on a BOBRO 30mm extended mount. After a couple turret clicks I was just over 1 MOA, prone with a Harris bipod in tall grass. 4 of 8 shots are within 1/2 inch. Cost of Scope and Mount $620 New

| Can I make a request? I'm in the process of building an 18" barrel AR and have sort of settled on the Sightmark Triple Duty M4 1-6x24mm. Does anyone have a picture of one mounted on a rifle and also of the reticle? It would fit right in this category as Midway has them for $279. |

Nikon Monarch 3.3-10x44 MilDot in a Smith Enterprise Mount & Warne rings. Close up of the GG&G but with a more expensive scope...I liked these so much that today I have a couple of them.

Mueller Tac II 3-10x44 in a Nikon M-223 mount on my Predator Pursuit. Excellent scope for the money. Bought a second one based on my experience with the first.  |

Nikon M-223 1-4X20 point blank, bought on sample list for 230 plus shipping listed as a Demo-B and was basically new Burris PEPR quick detach mount, bought from opticsplanet for 90 shipped Clears MBUS Gen II Gun is a Noveske 16 inch mid-length basic upper on a stag complete lower |
Burris E1 series 3-9x40 with BDC. Very impressed with the glass on this scope and the eye relief is perfect for an AR. The scope was $200 and the QD mount was around $100.
Best shot I could get. It was overcast and set to 3x, but you get a comparison of the glass.

My GRSC 1-4x in the Burris PEPR mount. It is on my 18" 1x8 bulldog barrel with a 15" Midwest free float.
Pros: Reticle is really cool and easy to use on 4x or 1x Red and Green illumination Off setting between every illumination setting 2 spare batteries with compartments in the turrent caps Great service from Ed, scope arrived 2 days early and his Military discount is generous. Looks tough and is cheap enough that I may end up painting or duracoating it and not cry myself to sleep over ruining a $1200 scope. Zero lock 2" screw on sunshade included.(shown mounted) Cons: Haven't used the reticle yet but it will obviously take some getting used too. Only 3 brightness settings(They are almost perfect settings but there are only 3 so I'll list it) adjustment from 1x-4x is tricky as the dial has grooves and indents for grip but no tactile indicator of magnification setting or position. All said and done: Would highly recommend. If I deploy to a shooting zone this sucker is coming with me.

Nikon Buckmaster 6-18X40 Mil-dot scope in a Nikon M-223 mount on my AR-10. Recently purchased from MidwayUSA on sale for $325. Included with the scope from Nikon are two sets of turrets (standard and target - target turrets shown in the pics) and a 4" sunshade (not shown in the pics). Scope features side focus adjustment and the glass is very good for the price range. Excellent bang for the buck, a lot of scope for $325.    |
A 9mm might expand to .45, but a .45 will never shrink to 9mm.

It is a Burris LRS scope 1x 4 with the Burris mount and FastFire II. I picked the package up from my local Cabelas for 499.99.
Took it out to Rio Salado gun club in Mesa, AZ and loved it. After a quick dial in my friend and I were hitting the steel targets at 200 and 300 yards easily using PMC Xtac 55 grain. Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived. Isaac Asimov |

It's finally almost "finished". Just a couple more things and then I'll probably leave it alone for a little while. The optic is a Leupold VX-R 3-9x40
