Need recomendation for a scope.
« on: Yesterday at 11:56:06 PM »
I'm thinking about installing a scope on my AR build,am looking for ideas on a decent scope that won't break my bank account.I have a Sight Mark Mini Shot M-spec RedDot that I'll be putting on a 45 degree mount. Just want something for longer shots with old eyes. Thanks.

How much power are you looking for and how much are you wanting to spend?

I have a trijicon Credo 2.5x to 15 on my yote gun. Honestly I could probably use more power.

Some one has eotechs with a 5x magnifier on sale right  now.  I want to say optics planet, but I might be wrong on that.

I'm stepping out where I should not because I don't own this model.  The link below is for a Crimson Trace with 1 x 10 power. 

Here is why I would consider it for an all around scope.  If you want something to magnify and reach out the power comes in handy but if you are in a close tactical situation power is your enemy.  I have gotten by with a 1.5x6 Burris which is a fine scope but the 1.5X is hard to use up close...a pain really.  For those close in and fast shots the 1X would be great to have...heck I might talk myself into getting this one.  The Burris I have is set up on the DMR platform which makes it ..OK..sort of.  But having no magnification is, I think, essential for close in work.  A larger objective would really help with gathering light but I don't know of anything with a larger objective in 1X bottom magnification.

At the time I acquired the Burris could not find a 1X scope.  Here's one on sale if you get the MOA version.  $295 from Midway USA.

I doubt I would shoot more than 200 yards max, Most likely 100 yards. It's just a range toy for now, I'm too stove up for playing 3 gun or anything like that.Plus, since it has a fixed 10 round magazine(NY gun laws suck) it wouldn't be competitive.As far as budget, I'm on a fixed income and would have to save up for it.
