I might post some pics later???
I Have been debating 1-4x24 scope or a Vortex Strike Fire...
But Now I am not sure...
I qualified in the USAF, US Army and Army NG (Expert)...ALL with NO optics... between 1990 and 2005...
I just forgot how nice and natural the AR sight picture is...
What to do, what to do ???

I just posted about briging my Colt back to the basics....I wanna see some pics of your soon......

I think it will be very dependent on the type of shooting you want to do. I stick with the stock sights, a non magnified red dot is quick and simple, but I still prefer the stock sights. Plus, majority of my shooting is at an indoor range at 25yards, and I do not like bench rest shooting. So just think about what you want to shoot and get the appropriate sights/optics to suite your needs.

How do I upload a pic here...
I am new...
Been lurking for for a while though...
GREAT site !!!

Click on the insert image button in the reply area. It is a little box with what looks like a mountain in bottom and a little box in the top right corner. That will be the easiest way.

Like That_Guy said, it depends on what type of shooting you do.

I use mine for pest control and to have fun plinking. I want to get into competitions eventually. That being said, I like to have options for whatever I'm doing that day, or just whatever I feel like using.

My dot and 1-4 are on QD mounts and always return to zero after swapping. The MBUS are always there when I feel like using "irons", or proove someone wrong when they say I must be a bad shot without optics (like my grandfather).

congrats and welcome. this is my first rifle so i wanted the extra stuff on there. i removed my stock sights and use a red dot/rvg for indoor/short range and a scope/bipod setup for outdoor/long range.

Hey Gopher Slayer,
What kind of red dot is that you have there?

PM sent

WOW!!.. thank you for all and whatever you have done for our Fine Country...

That Said

I really like the Halo/Reflex Sites.... Sorry... If a deer/Zombie/Prairy dog is over 100yds away.... my 30-06 will DECIMATE Them....
But Inside 100yds my M&P's will do the work

Tried my Redfield 3x9 and my NcStar Sniper 2x7 and ALWAYS love the reflex/Halo Site a lot better... just, well, More FUN!! and the Accuracy is ASTOUNDING considering they are 1x optics

Just got a Eotech 512 and will test it on Both my 15-22 and M&P Sport on Tuesday.....

with your ability and skills.... Keep it simple... yes KISS..... Do some 100% Co-Witness with a Halo Site.... and have a BLAST

yes....

Pun Intended

....

I personally like a scope on the 15-22. It looks cool and when shooting at small targets IE paint balls it makes it a bit easier to see. Ok with my eye sight I need a scope to hit a paint ball... But that said I can hit my paper targets without a scope just fine and have pretty decent grouping.

It all comes down to what you want to do.

If Vortex is already in your mind, give a look at the lil Vortex SPARC... It is a great lil sight!... Im actually buying another one for my sons .22
