Hi,
I just purchased a RRA LAR-8 308 carbine. I like to deer hunt and I want to use it next year (Fall 2011). Does anyone have any suggestions for a scope? I have no experience with the battery operated type of scope and don't know much about them. I have 2 Leoplold VX III 3.5 X10 scopes on my browning bold action rifles, but I am not sure that this is the best option for the LAR-8. I really don't want to pay over 1000. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Eric |

At what ranges will you be shooting?
What is your budget? Zeiss Conquest Trijicon Accupoint IOR Meopta Kahles SS 3-9 FFP On an AR, mounts are more important than you'd think. |

Thanks for the suggestions and the welcome. The Trijicon Accupoint looks good. For deer probably just out to 200 yards. I may play at the range at longer distances. I would like to stay in the $1000.00 area. I need to look at the other scopes.
Thanks |

Have you looked at SWFA SS line of scopes? But I guess you'd rather have 1 inchers...?

If no low light hunting, Accupoint would not be my first recommendation.
hard to wrong with the 3-9 SS, and it fits well within your budget. |

It really depends on how you use the rifle. Almost anything can be used for hunting deer. Are we talking the collapsable stock model or the fixed stock with a 20 in barrel. If the collapsable stock shorter barrel version I believe I would go with a Trijicon ACOG. If the 20 in fixed stock the 3-9 super Sniper is a good choice for an all around scope or if you want higher power I would look at:

I think theres plenty to choose from for deer and some target shooting 200-300 yards and youd be surprised theres quite a bit in the 300-500 dollar range I just bought a 6.5-20 Vortex viper and if i didnt already have my 4-16 monarch I would be buying one of the 4-12 vipers before there all gone especially at half the price as i paid for my monarch with the sale going on now. |

Thanks everyone,
I am starting to get interested in the Trijicon Accupoint TR22R. I need to find someplace that has one so I can look at it. The idea that you can keep both eyes open sounds interesting. I have several months before I can afford one so I have plenty of time to investigate. I just saw my brother in laws AR15 with the eotech sight. It is incredible how fast it is. If I wasn't going to deer hunt I would look at that style |
