Re: SCAR 17S Optic Choice
I'm watching this one because I just bought a SCAR Heavy and I'm looking for a scope. I was thinking USO 1.5-6, but weight is an issue as it is with the IOR which is an option if you can put up with the potential problems you might have.
I wish Trijicon would take the Accupoint and make it battle ready and have a 1-6X model. Although I've heard that Accupoints are sometimes used in action now. I love the fact that they have no batteries, and that they are realtively light. Of course if they make it battle ready it might end up being heavier.
The ACOG is very nice, but I don't care for fixed optics, so I'd have to add a red-dot, but that is not optimal either. It would be cool if Trijicon built the Acog in variable, or built the ACOG housing with the red-dot built in and protected.
To me a 1-8X would be perfect, like the new Short Dot, but I'm not sure I want to pay that kind of money for a scope as I could buy a second SCAR and a cheaper scope for about a $1000 more.
So, I'll watch to see if a clear winner emerges, BTW I voted for the USO sn-4 1.5-6x.
