Re: The Gun Thread
It really depends on what you are going to do with it. If you really are going to be looking to hit something at 400 yards I would suggest a 4-16 scope, 4-12 would be alright too. I have a couple of 3-9 and they are fine at 300, but I find myself wanting a little more zoom beyond that.

Re: The Gun Thread
But really how often are you going to be shooting out to 300-400 yards? An ACOG will still be plenty of zoom for that range and they are still easy to find your target up close. Mine even has iron sights on top of it for kind of a backup sight for very close shots. Looks just like this:
Plus it's a baller battle scope for your baller battle rifle.

Re: The Gun Thread
I was leaning toward an ACOG honestly, but there are like 10 different flavors. I was thinking the 4x32 one, then you can mount a red dot on it too I think.
I really just don't want something super heavy.
Recommend on which ACOG?

Re: The Gun Thread
Well, I have one you can borrow you to see if you like it. Then there are a whole bunch of different styles and reticle options.

Re: The Gun Thread
idk, it's a 4x32, looks exactly like the one above except for it's beat up looking, and has a reticle like this, except for the red part lights up green in the dark on mine.

Re: The Gun Thread
I'm going though a local builder who got in some Aero receivers and will be having a nice setup built up on the next couple weeks. I'm going to do a second upper made for 9mm ammo once funds work out so I can shoot it more often, yet don't have to come down to a .22 since I have a nice Ruger for that already.

Re: The Gun Thread
A gun store I stopped in at in Oklahoma when I was down there (where I bought my SCAR) called and said they just got a SCAR 16s in (black one) if you wanted to go awesome style
I am a little upset that I paid 1000 over list for mine (at least I got FDE like I wanted) but I bet this one is around list unless they are jacking prices up too. If anyone is interested I could give them the number.
Goodhard I forgot to text you over the weekend, wanna meet up to let me borrow that ACOG buddy ole pal?

I wish they weren't busy on weekends, but every time I have tried on weekends i wait there for like 1.5 hours then go home as I don't want to pay to shoot for 15 mins before they close.
If you go there on the weekend be ready to wait, super busy lately with everyone buying new guns as they all want to shoot them.
