Looking at optics, but not sure what everyone is running.
Looking for some feedback. Was thinking 1-4 or 1-6? Thanks |

Bigger the objective lens the better. All those tubes with no bell for bigger objective lens are just useless unless it's daylight.
Trijicon 2.5-10x56 with mil dot. 2.5 is still usefull for predators at shorter range. 10x is what Vietnam era snipers used. 56 mm lets bunches of light in for low light use. My buddy has a 5-10x50 and probably hasn't shot it above 14x yet. If you need something faster than a 2.5x setting you'll be better served with a red dot or Eotech. |

I moved my PST 1-4 onto it, as its a fighting rifle, and since I stole it from my precision AR, I got it a new used night force http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii155/Bgu301/2012-12-07_19-25-06_522.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii155/Bgu301/2012-12-15_14-24-31_456.jpg I like your rationale, and your rifles! |

Thanks for the replies and pics.
I am trolling the EE for after Christmas deals for now. :) I might just start with a Primary Arms or Vortex 1-4 in a LT104 or Bobro mount and spread the cash around a little for now. I would LOVE a 1-6, so I will keep looking for a bit. Thanks again. |

The trijicon 2.5-10 is on sale at optics planet. http://www.opticsplanet.com/trijicon-accupoint-2-5-10x56-30mm-riflescope.html
Honestly the rifle is a 308 and it deserves more mag then 4x. For the $670 I think the accupoint is perfect. |

I have a 4x ACOG on my 16 which is great. I put a trijicon accupoint 3-9x40 in LaRue mount on my 17 and it just seems really big, clunky, and top heavy. I may go with something else. Thats the only bitch i have with the Elcan, its huge but somehow it looks right on there.

Larue mount- Hi lux CMR Awsome! it is a 2eye open almost 1x for CQB and the 4x glass is truly top notch . The illumination really works well at dusk and dark back grounds. I have always been spendy on optics and weapons I have expensive taste. but this less expensive optic is very impressive. http://youtu.be/l27uTiDjre0 I'll post a pic manana. |
| I have a Vortex 1-4 with a LT-104 and am pretty happy with it. I did manage a nice 3/4" five shot group at 100 yds with it the other day with fed 168's. For my AO a 300 yard shot is pretty hard to come by so anything over 4x is just over kill. Plus I have an OBR for extreme accuracy. I also like that it's illuminated which almost doubles as a red dot. |
