    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    You're an angel. Here's a pic of my buddy shooting it with the JP recoil eliminator on it. The eliminator works great, but it's kind of... obnoxious. Really loud and the gas blasts anything on the sides. If I took that to a civilian range the gas would blast the shooter on both sides of me...

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    I do CQB for work, this is my gun for personal use. Fun, carrying around my ranch, outshooting my family members... and who knows when I'm a civilian again maybe getting into some sort of shooting competitions. When I built it I planned on putting an Eotech on it but eventually decided I wanted...

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    I'll probably start loading my own rounds, and with the zoom without the reticle growning I should be able to put the shot where I want it at 500 yards. I currently just aim center mass with iron sights and hit black on the man silhouette at 500 every time. I want to aim at the head at 500 and...

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    I built this about a year ago, the goal was to use mid range parts with many good reviews. Since I'd only shot M16s in the corps, that gun feels amazing to me, and in my opinion one of the best upgrades is a trigger assembly. The pull makes a big difference. I know that the bullet will go where...

    I think I'm going to go with the nightforce, but I'm stragely attracted to this Razor. Is that hornady hand rail setup heavy?

    I CQB train every week, with open sights. This gun is for me to work on my marksmanship skills.

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    That's really good to know. I want to be able to zoom up to 10 power for carbine. I think this would be perfect for my next AR. One time at the range the armory issued me a M16 with a broken ACOG and the reticle would wonder. I had to rezero the gun every day, and as soon as I changed positions...

    I think this is a good scope, I like how the reticle size doesn't change when you zoom in.

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    Since I'm logical, I would never expect the turret and reticle to be in different units. Thanks for highlighting this.

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    I've used ACOGs before, and I've had a problem with the red chevron being too bright and had to put tape on the fiber optic because it was taking in too much light and the reticle isn't adjustable. The edges of the chevron blur, and I'd rather not be putting electrical tape or the sticker from a...

    Does anyone have experience with the Razor HD Gen II?

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    That seems like a really nice scope, I wish they had a promo video like the vortex scopes have. What are your thoughts on this guy? I'm afraid it won't have the magnification power that I may want. I don't expect to shoot ace holes haha, I'd like to see how close I can get though. I have good...

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    I just watched the video about that scope, it seems like it may be what I'm looking for. My concern would be its size on a 16" barrel, but I don't think it will bother me too much. Thoughts?

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    That scope seems like it would be good for what I've described, and shooting a little farther out as well. I'm attracted to this Razor, but I may want to have more magnification. Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6x24mm Rifle Scope w/ JM-1 BDC Reticle RZR-16003 FREE S&H RZR-16003. Vortex Rifle Scopes.
