Re: How far could I shoot this rifle to?
I am in no hurry to buy optics as I wont have the gun for a couple of weeks. This was how it originally was supposed to go, I was going to buy M6A2 SPR in 5.56 for 0-600ish yards duty. I then came across a 16" REPR for a smokin' deal, I just couldnt pass it up. Originally I wanted to use an Aimpoint H-1 with a magnifier for longer distances but I am not so sure how far that combo will let me effectively reach out to. So I remember S&B has a short dot that would probably be a good compromise (this is what I am thinking, not positive though). I dont want to spend $2700 on an S&B though so I was looking at possibly a Leupold or a Nightforce 1-4. I know that running .308 ammo isnt cost effective compared to 5.56 but this is going to be a general purpose rifle for me. I dont and never intend this rifle to be accurate past 7-800yards. I would have bought a higher end optic and the 20" REPR model for that. Just a little info for you guys to help me out, thanks.
