Scope recommendations for sport

Excellent point, alwslate.
I was trying to explain this to my friend, and assist him with a set up for his designated hunting & hog rifle - a S&W M&P15.

He was about to order an Aimpoint red dot for 200+yd. :rolleyes:

That's because folks are not researching what optic fits their desired purpose. Many are choosing based on "cool factor" or what others have.

Good point. I'm about to dip into an "un-used EOtech 516A65 and flip mount 3X. YIKES !!! A friend has it and never been used. I hate being able to touch things.:D
 
Heck I wish I had that problem!! I have 2 rifles...2 scopes......

But they are good ones!! LOL
 
Saw a few in stock at LGS today when i grabbed some ammo, thought bout adding to my collection, but i havent even gotten optics on my T yet...ugh...plus didnt know what an mp10 should go for...he had a sig 716 patrol rifle for 1800 in fde that was tempting too...i need help...
 
I went to Cabela's in Charleston WV today. I saw a $2000 AR.:eek: Boy was it nice. It looked like a fluted stainless barrel with the Breecher brake on it. The receiver was silver, it might have been stainless? It had a quad rail and moe stock. I don't know what brand it was but they were proud of it. It was the only one they had. They had a couple of 1522' at $600 +. Here is what they did not have: no 22 ammo. no 223 ammo, no small rifle primers. no Varget, no 22 bullets of any brand and of course, no 223 brass. Surprise, Surprise. I did pick up a Lymans reloading book for $19.99.:D I think I will wait until fall to go back.

man you better watch going in that store, LOL but if you start feeling real weak take your wife/girlfriend with you. Your ability to say no increases tremendously. :D
 
Well then I'm certainly happy I got mine for $1250. :-D

:D Like I said,it'll sit there awhile,like forever at that price. I even stopped back in today and rechecked. YIKES ! $2100 on the box !!! It did make me feel a whole lot better about getting a never been used,sitting in the safe EOtech 516A65 w/3X Flip though. A good shooting budy and old friend. :D Never been used and forgot about.
 
Bought a cheap scope 4x32 on eBay. Some brand I never heard of. It's the right size. Not expecting a whole lot, but maybe it will do until I decide what I want and have recovered from overpaying for the gun :D

No worries. You can spill the beans. What kind was it ?
 
Sniper I believe is the brand. $30 shipped. Like I said, not expecting a whole lot. Made in China, no doubt. It's only about 8" long, so it will fit on the rail ok. It may prove to hold zero for more than two shots, then again it may not. Who knows, I might be pleasantly surprised. Not really expecting it though. :D

I'm sure we all have something like that and it either worked great or was a total flop. :D Never know. Down the road it could work just fine on a 22 or an air rifle. :D ...That's why they make parts bins :D
 
Hey, another class of '80 grad here...uh, we are talking high school, right? :D

Not that anyone asked, but I was in that class as well.:D Just graduated from college last year.:D Oh boy, here come the jokes...........:D
