I just got a DPMS long range 308 and I'm planning on using i for hunting, but i would also like to be able to get quik target acquisition. obviously the best is an ACG however I can't stomach spending almost the price of the rifle. I've read about the bindon aiming concept, and have learned that the illuminated reticle is what is important.
I have looked at the millett line of bucklightning sopes, any other suggestions? I'm looking for something that can atleast go 4x, and no morw than 9x.
Well I guess I;,m not sure yet. I wanted to see what the other options are. But I would probably just get an ACOG if all the other otions are close in price.
yeah those are the ones I've run into. so it looks like for the money I should just go w/ the ACOG.I have a bushnell trophy 1x32 red dot. what about just getting a magnifier?
You could, but I just got a red dot with a magnifier. If they are all the same the field of view is terrible. The one I have would make a terrible hunting setup. Red dots have a very small field of view anyway, but using both eyes open helps a lot. But I would still rather have a regular scope. JMO
That IOR I listed first is a really nice setup and considerably cheaper than the ACOG. People I know that have them seem to like them a lot. 3 or my buddies use them and a couple guys on this site use them I believe and have had good luck with them. IORs have extrememly nice glass in them you will be satisfied that way.
But the ACOGs are awesome scopes, just pricy for a fixed power scope. If I were going to spend that kind of money I would get a 1-4x variable of some sort for the same cost.
If you went with the Trijicon Accopoint 1-4x you would have the same triangle sight that is in an ACOG. Plus you have a variable. Down side is you don't have the BDC in the reticle. But out to 300 or so yards you won't really need anything for hunting if you zero your gun a 200 or 225 or so.
Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.
