Re: New member, new rifle..
Scope recommended on the AR or the bolt gun? On the AR:if wanting close up shooting ( within 200 yard )I would recommend an Eotech in a AA battery or 123 battery configuration. If wanting a little magnification, I would recommend a luepold Mark 4
1.5 X 5, 30mm tacticle scope. Since that is a carbine, it is made for close up shots, match it with a scope that will make it shine. I would not recommend a 3x9x 40 unless target / bench shooting is all you will do. To much magnification will reduce field of view. If wanting to get a more expensive scope then Night Force or USO make similar configurations but cost is increased. On the Bolt: depending on distance you plan to shoot, It could be a Luepold 3x9x40 T LR or a 4.5X14X40 or 50 mm objective, once again you could get a more expensive version but many people including myself have a plethora of Luepy's and are very satisfied with them and they hold very true and only increase in value as well as the higher priced optics. Any higher quality optics Luepy,Night Force, USO, S&B,Premier only increase in value, you could buy one this year and treat it like gold and in 5 years sell it for more money than you have in it as long as it's in great shape...Happy shooting....SmokeRolls
