    That's NOT what I said or meant. AR parts will go in an AR based pup and so on.............

    Mounted a cheap red dot on my AR and going to sight it in, in the morning. May try to bump fire it too. Never tried it but it looks like fun...

    I misread what you meant, or you misunderstood what I meant then, sorry :P.

    Red dots are good, another option is the Primary Arms 2.5x compact illuminated scope. It wasn't far off from just mounting it.

    I just had this scope laying around. Just something so I can go shoot. I'd like to put a 3-9x40 on it to hunt with, but I'd also like something for up close. Haven't really figured out what direction I'm headed with it yet.

    A GOOD red-dot with a magnifier.

    I'm partial to the Aimpoints. I had a M68CCO, back when they were the Comp ML3 I believe. It had all the NV settings, as well as factory flip-ups.

    I had it mounted with an A.R.M.S QD mount with Co-Witness Spacer. Held under MOA every time you took it off and re-mounted. Just put it on the right marked number rail and you were G2G.


    I like my Dubstep to go Wop Wop Wop Wop

    EOTech red dots are OK. Only problem is that the red dot is 1 MOA in size. Slap a 3x magnifier behind it and now you have a 3 MOA dot....

    I am in the process of getting rid of any optic that is battery operated.
    Call it my paranoia but I would rather have non reliant optics.
    Sad part is every rifle I have is either a red dot OR illuminated reticle.

    I have used many scopes.... EOTech, Weaver, Burris, B&L, Simmons, Leupold, Sightron and NightForce.

    IMHO the best value for your dollar is Sightron.... even for 1000yd long range match use. They stack up to a $2000 NightForce and even a $4000 March for under $1000.
