The problem is that none of those are COMPACT scopes or they don't have a max magnification of only 4x. Because I have a 45° CQB sight, I wanted a compact scope so I had room to mount both above the receiver (The problem was getting to the power button on the CQB sight with a scope mounted next...

Thanks for the input. I went to a Sportsmans Warehouse near me and checked out many different scopes. I really liked the Leupold VX-R series. I also checked out great options from Carl Zeiss, Burris, and others. When it came down to it, none of them were good enough to justify spending the money...

At well over $1000 the US Optics is way over my budget, besides that, I really want more than 4x. I should've also mentioned that I'm looking for something that is NOT battery dependent. Illuminated is cool, but I want something that can work even with a dead battery. That's one of the reasons...

Shopping for a new scope for my AR. I currently have a Burris AR-536, but the reticle dot is too big in my opinion. I love the compact size and the fact that it feels like you could run the thing over with a truck and not hurt it though. Are there any good alternatives for this style scope that...

I'm looking for a scope for my new/upcoming AR-15. I plan on having a 45° CQB red dot or iron set, so I'm looking for a scope for the 75-250ish yard range. I'm looking for combat/steel plate accuracy in that range. I think I've narrowed my options down to the Nikon M223 2-8x32 and the Burris...

Also, does anyone have experience with both the Burris AR-536 and the Nikon M-223? I've been looking at the M-223 in a 2-8x...

Thanks for the info on that, I might consider getting the cheaper Picatinny Protector Mount, looks like it would sit lower and I don't need the storage. Plus it it's a few bucks cheaper. FastFire - rifle scopes, handgun scopes, hunting scopes by Burris Optics

As far as going with a fixed scope, I'm thinking I don't really need variable zoom since I will have a CQB red dot as well. I'm looking for a scope to handle 75-250 yard range. Again, I'm thinking, I can get more bang for buck in terms of ruggedness and quality, not to mention size, by going...

I'm waiting on parts to arrive for my AR15 build and am currently shopping around for scopes. I plan on putting my Burris FastFire III on a 45* mount, but am looking at options for a scope. This will be primarily a battle rifle, but maybe even (non-competitively) for 3 gun. Battle rifle being...

Thanks guys. Just to share info, I found that CustomAR15.com sells ARPerformance barrels. I email CMMG to find out what is up with their barrels, I'll post the answer when I get it.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've found plenty of sources for chrome lined barrels, it's finding melonite ones that is the challenge.

So I'm putting together a parts list for a lightweight, SHTF, end of the world AR15. This will not be a sniper rifle. I'm simply looking for < 2MOA once the barrel heats up. I'm wanting to get a melonite treated barrel. Currently I'm looking at this: VooDoo Innovations 16" Carbine Length Evo...

Mods feel free to move this to a better location. I've read several reviews that says Hornady Tap .308 168 gr ammo is just as good as and sometimes better than Federal Gold Medal Match, or even Hornady Amax match. The price is comparable to both the Federal and the other Hornady, so why...

Hmmm... Now I need to find a buyer for a NIB Weaver Tactical...

Yeah I took that part of my post out, so as to not introduce another topic into what I wanted to be a very focused thread.
