I like ACOGs, but I'm poor. So I've been reading about a few ACOG "clones". Most of what I've read has done more to confuse me than anything else. "This scope will hit prairie dogs on mars" or "I have Coke bottles clearer than this."
I'm sure many of you have read the same type of reviews.
I have handled a couple of cheapos in the 150-200 range which "seem" to be ok in the store, only to research the item later online to find it was made by a bunch of drunk gypsies who were tasked with assembling it to reduce their amount of time served before being released on parole.
So. The question I have is this. What recommendations are out there for a middle of the road ACOGish style scope for my currently glassless M&P15. I suppose I like a zoom 1-4 ? 3-9 ? I'm open for suggestions.
For the record, I have looked at red dots (EOTECHs) with and without magnifiers. I'm really not crazy about the idea though, based on how much I see the red dot bounce around in relation to the target or front post. Not sure if that is a product of wearing eyeglasses, or I just haven't mastered the "put my cheek in exact the same spot" exercise. In any event, for the moment, let's just skip over the whole red dot option and focus on a scope of incredible clarity and value.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
