Thread: Help with purchasing low magnified AR scopes

So many options out there.

CQB shooting and short range (1-200m hunting)

Vortex, Primary Arms, Leupold, Bushnell?

I know there are plenty of high priced brands but $5-700 would be what I would consider for a seccond hand scope.

Thoughts?

a hensoldt fero z24 could probably be had at the top end of that budget

Hmmm. Think I will pass, but cheers mate. Besides, I thought these were set up for AK? Or is yours converted to picatinny?

you can get mounts to put them on just about anything, I have them on a AR,a ak and on a 10/22.
Persononly think the glass in them is far above most other scopes selling for the same soert of $, and they acuratly dial. I personly think glass and dialing is more important than zoom, and I hate to say it but your not going to get all three in that price point. I now run a dialable 1-8 scope for the use your describing, but thats in a whole different catogary price wise.

I have a leupold AR Mod 1 3-9*40 with tmr reticle and P5 dials. As new cond. $500. PM me if interested. It is a good scope but have upgraded so its sitting here as a spare.

I have 2 Millett 1-4x24 DMS scopes and love them. https://www.scopeuout.co.nz/collecti...an-rifle-scope

I do like Millet. Will have more of a look into it. Usually quite heavy though...

I had a 1-4 on my AR15 when I first got it
thought it would be ultimate

I wasnt a fan of it at all.
at 1 power you get to see tons of your suppressor which annoyed the shit out of me
it stayed on 4 power till it got replaced with a typical rifle scope. 2.5-8x32 vx3 leupold
If you haven't tried one yet id recommend trying one before sinking big money into one

Wouldn’t a canterleaver mount help?

It was in a cantilever mount
it annoys me in some of my other suppressed rifles in 3 power mag with low rings too. it was just really bad in 1 power on my AR
(Hi-Lux Optics Close Medium Range Scope (CMR) Illuminated Ranging Reticle 1-4x24) This was my scope if it makes any difference

Not for a AR needed to put a scope on my
.300 Blackout. Looked at the Leuopold Hog Hunt..? Nice scope but a bit limiting I thought. Just went for a Bushnell Banner 3-9 X 40 or the 2-7 X 33 can’t remember which power. Happy days

this would suit

@Hunter_killer get a primary arms acss reticle 1-6.

They are bang on with the Ammo you will be slinging and will work on a 308 if you move the scope around.

On 1x they are a red dot, 6x you can shoot to max effective...

Cheers!

Will look into these, as PA seem to be producing some good stuff atm.

@300_BLK

REF Primary Arms, would you go FFP? Packs a bit more on the tag but the reticle naturally makes more sence.
