RRages AMP ACOG decision

[trueg50]

Well the 15-22 stock sights have been driving me nuts, specifically the excessively wide front sight, so I started looking at the Rrages ACOG's.

Does any one have experience with the 1x or 4x models? I want very fine crosshairs for shots between 10 and 70 yards like I would take with the iron sights. I like the 4x but it is pricey and I am worried that the magnification is too much for this 15 yard shots on squirrels.

Have you thought of a 1-4x variable scope?

There are plenty of options in that area.

I run a PA 1-4x, and I shoot from 25 feet to 100yds easily.

Interesting, I assume you just unscrew the old front sight post and screw in another one?

I might just go that route, or atleast see about picking up just one or two front posts.

They also make them in colors. I have a red post on mine.

I found this front post, but I want to try and fine out if it is thinner then my current one before ordering.

That post kind of looks like ****, like it's made of iron or something. Might be a bad pic.

Oh my bad I read that wrong.

I have a 0.050" from Brownells. I mic'd the height compared to stock so it should be very close but Im going to rezero it precisely tonight.

How is the post width compared to the stock one?

Well I have a few optics on mine however I found if you are on a budget you can get buy with a few nice clones:

ACOG Clone:
$74.02 - Professional GL-4*32C Rifle Scope with Gun Mount - Mounts & Accessories

I currently have mounted 522 clone from rrages, works great.

Half as wide easily. Mine arrived slightly bent and I tweaked it straight, there is one even thinner at 0.035" available but I wouldnt go thinner than 0.050" myself. The "ears" on the MBUS will keep it protected anyways.

Now this looks like a sweet deal.

Was looking at a fiber-optic front site http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=354879 for $48,

But for $25 more, I can get this?

Heck, it is even less expensive than this other front site I was
http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=383815

This was $10 more!

I'm gonna have to start a wish list!

So many toys, so few dollars...

I have heard of deal extreme, but all the stuff is super cheap. for that kind of money, I would rather save up some and spend $119 shipped for a scope Rrages says is good.

I'll have to see about ordering that thinner iron sight then, since it is quite a bit cheaper, and I know it will work well for me.
