longhorn03 10 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I don't even see a brand name or manufacturer name? What's your budget? I would stay away from this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 1 1/5 lbs. That a no-no for me, especially for a no-name chinese scope, likely with garbage glass and electronics. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf47 0 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 right now i just have a centerpoint scope, so i might just get a mount that slips over the scope and mount a higher quality red dot on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look at PrimaryArms. Still Chinese, but good stuff. Questions.... Do you really need three different sights on one gun? What kind of OPs are you planning on running?

longhorn03 10 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) 175 can get you a solid fixed mag from Nikon, Burris or Redfield. I just picked up a fixed 3x for my AR. Cost me $200 including rings. Edited October 23, 2014 by longhorn03 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of OPs are you planning on running? with the scope that i have now, it is very hard to find a target within about 25 yards, as the scope blocks the irons. but i also dont want to lose the longer range capacitys of the centerpoint Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This just seems contrived and heavy. What rifle you mounting it on? The Nikons are very good for the money, good glass. Anything over 4x makes short range a bit tunnel visioned. Think the Nikon PS I have is 2-7x and at 2x is great at that range. BTW red dots shoot fine at longer ranges at least as well if not better than irons. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yeah I have one left at that length, 22", decided to leave that one alone. Worth more like that and it is possible I will sell it later to get a replacement. Perhaps it's because at 22" it does not need any flash hider but that is a minor consideration. 18" works great BTW but take care with ammo selection, what burns up at 22" spews fire at 18". These rifles run fine with a just a red dot and co-witness irons out as far as I care to shoot it, 300m. Were it a sub-MOA rifle of course there would be a scope on it but it isnt so I save the weight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
