Any experience with the Sightmark 1.5x5? Sightmark Tactical 1.5-5x30 Scope with Mil Dot Reticle [SM13015] - $159.99 : Sightmark
The only 4x scope I find are NcStar and AMP. Never heard of AMP. Not sure how these would be. I assume the NcStar is the same as the 3x9x42 scope as it may not be top quality.
There are also good reviews on the Burris Timberline 2x7x26 scope. Not as tactical looking but is shorter and doesn't look too bad on the ar platform. |
You're probably looking at the PA 1-4x. I have the Primary Arms Compact 4x. See below pic. Primary Arms is working on a Gen2 and don't sell that version any longer but Sig Sauer sells the same thing (absent the rails) for their Sig522. They call it the Sig CP1 Prismatic scope. It it currently at a 50% discount directly from Sig. It has a fantastic mirco fine T reticle. Someone just posted the other day that they bought it and said it's just like the PA. Here is a link.

Yes, I just use the Gen3 Micro Dot without any magnification on my 15-22. I use it for bouncing cans around and also for shooting steel at 60 and 100yds.. ding ding ding... lots of fun.
