Scope reccomendations

[Satan_3pc]

Ok, as some of you know from my post, I have a Rock River Tactical Entry AR15 carbine. I want to get a scope I can use for longer distance shots. I'm kind of looking for a combat set up. So I think I want to have my iron sights set up for like 100 yards and then have a scope of some sort for longer shots, but nothing to big.

It doesn't have to be a red dot EOTech or anything. Just a nice scope for the AR15 carbine. I like the magnified EOTechs but they're so expensive.

look at he Millett DMS-1
that might be kinda what your looking for, or do you want a traditional cross hair type scope

[Chris]

its a 1-4x with a neat little doughnut illuminated reticle. gives you some magnification but still is useful as a tactical scope

Heres my tactical with the millett mounted on a pro mag mount

Well I don't know. Is that sort of thing necessary? I am no gun expert yet. Do the illuminated circles and stuff give you better visualization?

[Chris]

oh and they are like 200 bucks. I have used this quite a bit and can say for the money im satisfied with it

[Chris]

yeah it helps with fast aquisition in a fast pick up scenerio

[Chris]

if your local pm me and ill hook up with you and let you see it in person

[Chris]

heres a pic to try to help explain the benefits of the reticle illumination

I just found some one talking about this one on a forum. I like that cross hair on it. Know anything about this one?

[Chris]

ive seen it, what actualy made me seek out the millett. same exact scope, more than likely made by the same parent manufacturer. Different reticle, a good one too.
In the past GRSC has had availability issues

[Satan_3pc]

i think i could get by with a traditional crosshair, but a decent one. Im not to fond of having to rely on batteries or electric things.

[Chris]

whats the budget

[Satan_3pc]

whats the budgetlets just say 350 as the max right now.

[Chris]

for a traditional scope I would probably recommend a Nikon pro-staff which is well below your budget cieling and great glass for the money

[Satan_3pc]

Yeah those look nice, I was just checking them out. Kind of big but nice. How do you mount them to be ablet o use the iron sights too?

[Chris]

a traditional scope will make using your irons basically impossible, even the first optic I spoke about makes using your rear BUIS a pain. If you want to cowitness you limited to the combat optics
EOtech
Aimpoint
Trijicon

I have my optic on my tac. gun mounted with a quick release mount so if it failed I just dump it and go to my irons.

[Chris]

honestly I would probably get an aimpoint or EOtech and run like that for awhile and eventually get a magnifyer later on down the road or even a knock off magnifyer

[Satan_3pc]

Hmm, perhaps. I wll have to consider these things. I guess if I needed a big Pro-staff scope I would have just built an m16, but I kind of wanted a more compact tactical combat gun.

All and all this gun project started as a "buy it up before Obama gets into office" and "have a gun thats capable of a combat situation should this world ever get to far out of control." Call me crazy, but at least I'm ready for anything lol.

[Chris]

understood, i have variants to do pretty much any task. you can never me to prepared
