Any suggestions for optics, accessories, on the 556 Classic SWAT? It has the diopter sight on it from the factory. I see a wide range of options. I will be starting out at 100 yds and will be using the gun for recreational target, varmint, and possibly home protection roles. I see small scopes at from 100 to 1000s. The Trijicon looks like quality stuff but if I could do more for less, well you get the idea. I am new to this so any and all suggestions and recommendations are appreciated. Lots of rail areas to hang stuff off... |

I am wide open, and not so knowledgeable... I have a Vari X3 Leupold on my Remington 700. It is the only gun I have with a scope. 300 to 400 would be nice but I see some nice options at 1000 that would be the top of my range. What is the difference between a red dot and telescopic? |

red dot is exactly what is sounds like you have a red dot as an aiming point, normally with no magnification. great for CQB and fast target acquisition. Telescoping means power basically normally from 1x all the way on up. A good fit IMO for a AR style platform where you want to do it all is a 1-4. There is a new SS 1-4 in the works right now that may be your best option. Only problem is its not quite out yet and no firm release date has been said. Check it out here

Thanks for your patience and understanding. I am thinking telescopic would be needed. The link you listed is interesting. What would be roughly the price range for that? (or someting comparable)

Here are a few 1-4's ish but they won't compare to the quality of the SS when it comes out
Now these would be top quality and comparable and availible now! but cost more too!
