Larue/Harris Bipod 6-9"


Max range: 0-600 yards

This is basically truck gun/ SHTF while in the truck

contemplating something like this scope here:
Vector Optics Templar Review

Its right at the top of the current budget,

I know the wise old saying of you get what you pay for.

What do you recommend? And Why? Has anyone ever put a 1x-? scope behind an eotech?

Im not set on price or time to purchase yet so who knows maybe a cheap scope for now and a nightforce come my hopefull tax return.

Educate me guys


 
Re: Educate me please GURU's

A friend of mine used to be a dealer and I've used that scope before.

Not a bad scope for the price. Just don't know how it would hold up in the long term? At that price though it's almost in the disposable category.
 
Re: Educate me please GURU's

Check out the SWFA line of scopes. They can be had for $300 and are supposed to be able to withstand the recoil of a 50. Probably the best scopes in your price range. Or maybe a fixed Falcon Menace. Same price range.

Re: Educate me please GURU's

I have used these scopes before, and yes it wasn't on a real rifle. I have used these on my airsoft rifles and have really put them through a beating while using them. Granted it was not "real world" but they were beat for sure.

I then switched it over to my .22lr and found that the reticule would shift around and never stay in one place. So for a short time scope it should be fine, but anything for a long term I would suggest going with something else.
 
Re: Educate me please GURU's

Falcon or SWFA if you can get it. Ive used a Falcon 4-14 FFP on my LAR-8 with 0 issues. The FFP and mil/mil features at that price point is unbeatable IMO. Heard some horror stores with some vector optics stuff.

In $, whats your upper limit?
