I need an *affordable* scope for a 16" rifle...it'll be for longer range shooting (if I ever get to do any lol). Right now, I've got a Holosight on it, and some flip up sights for BUIS. I'm thinking somewhere in the 3x10 or 4-12 range, with no more than a 44mm objective.
The scope will not be mounted on the rifle most of the time, it's just a "grab one rifle and go" kinda thing, where the scope will used to augment the Holosight. That's the reason for not wanting to have more than
$200 or so tied up in this scope, yet I want something that will be half way decent when the time comes.
The folks who've tried Muellers and Swifts seem to really like them, from what they've posted occasionally in other threads, but that seems to be very sporadic.
So, if owners of these brands don't mind, could you tell me what you like about them?
I like the premise behind the Mueller 3x10x44 illuminated dot reticle, so if anyone has that particular scope, even better.
***I do NOT have the $1500 for a Nightforce super duper uber tactical extra special donut reticle scope that will increase the size of my already gargantuan member (I'm Catholic, remember), so there's no need to suggest I get one. But thanks for thinking about me!
