So Low 2 13 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Whats the consensus on puting a LER scope i.e. Leupold/ Burris scout on the gas tube as far as longevity. I have no problem hitting man sized COM at 200 yards with irons, but shot a friends AR with a scope and was easily hitting a 6" popper at 200 yds. No side rail.....

MCASgt New River 10,036 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Irons on an AR15 are good for a 12x12 plate at 500 yards if you do your part. I would imagine that a well put together AK could easily hit out to 300 yards and maybe 400 bagged and some serious Kentucky windage. Semper Fi, Gunny NR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Low 2 13 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think I should be able, with proper fundamentals hit at 300 yards with irons with my Saiga 223. Havent had the chance yet. But the question I meant to ask was how a magnified scout scope would hold up mounted to a Ultimak. Im sure I could tighten my groups up scoped.....

SGL 530 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 If you have a side rail, I think you'll be a lot happier with the scope over the receiver. Due to leverage the weight of that scope will feel like double out there on the front end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Use the side rail or get one of the quality railed top cover options such as TWS. Ultimak is about maxed out at mini red dot sights. I have seen very few people use one for even a scout type scope. You may be able to do it, but seems like a terrible setup for eye relief.
