    Rifle Scopes Scope Suggestion for AR

    Re: Scope Suggestion for AR I like stuff good for combat so not going high in power and size is the key for me. IOR does the trick for me but I've never put anything on except the aimpoint but would prefer the IOR. Next time out I'll try an IOR just for the heck of it.

    Re: Best 45 cal AR platform? I wonder about your options in attaching to the two different weapons. I'm thinking the base suppressor is going to have to be a wide opening.
