I'm 66 yrs old & have good long distance sight while wearing my glasses. It has a fixed A2 front sight. Any brands or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
That front sight is going to get in the way of any optic. Your rifle may be different, but I never was able to get 1 MOA at 100 yds. from my 1:9" barrel and that's why I swapped it out for a 1:7". The heavy 75 gr. and 77 gr. bullets fly well at 200 yards. Putting any scope over 9x is a waste for this carbine, increases weight substantially and impedes handling.
