What type of optic do you run on your M&P15?

[snm8510]

Just taking a poll to see which type of optic is the most popular option. Might help some people decide if they're on the fence as well, but for me, I'm just surveying.

Nikon P223 3-9x

I have an Aimpoint Pro on mine and it's solid. However, If the Vortex Sparc AR would have been available before I purchased the Aimpoint I'd probably would have gone that route and saved some cash, it's half the price of the Aimpoint and I've heard is also very solid as well.

Aimpoint PRO or ACO, however, use, quality, cost and use are all considerations.

If you want a more accurate poll based on use/purpose, you should be more specific. I.e. I wouldn't put a red dot on rifle used for hunting.

I have the EOTech and the Nikon 223 for mine and can switch between the two with out much trouble depending on which I prefer at the time.

Aimpoint PRO..... I also like a low power variable 1-4 or 1-5 X20.

You can't hunt with a semi in Pa.......so

Aimpoint H-2 (backed up and co-witnessed by MBUS).

 

[ChattanoogaPhil]

Aimpoint H1.

Perfect fit for my offhand shooting out to 200yds as well as my aged eyes that don't enjoy irons as they once did.

I have a Nikon P223 3-9x40 zeroed at 100 yards on one i use for target and distance shooting.

I have a Primary Arms red dot zeroed at 50 yards on the other for home-self defense and close quarters.

I have the Nikon P223 3-9x40mm scope on two of my AR-15's

Use the 3-9 Nikon as my eyes need the help and to make a better hit on any critters I shoot at. 5.56 needs good placement to be effective.

Put a Vortex Strikefire II on my AR a few months ago. It was my first foray into red dot sights. Now I wonder why I waited so long!

 

[crem1n0le]

Bushnell trs-25 with a utg riser for co witness and if the red dot fails for any reason i can use the iron sight without having to take it off

You will be able to this coming hunting season!Pennsylvania Game Commission approves semi-autos for hunting

I prefer a 1-4X or 1-6X. As long as it's a true 1X and can be used just like a red dot.

I have an old EoTech 557, no longer made. When it failed about year after purchase, EoTech upgraded the battery contacts on warranty, been fine ever since. I use EoTech 3x G33 quick release magnifier behind it.
The Eotech co-witnesses the front post and Troy BUIS, so I can shoot irons through the Eotech, or remove it with a coin. It holds zero quite well after I remove it and reattach it.
The EoTech would be the go-to for a fight, but I usually shoot the irons just because I enjoy it.

I tailor my sighting equipment to the mission. I have a CQB M4 type AR that wears a holographic sight in addition to a laser (for extreme CQB), and iron back ups. My long range AR which may be used for 1000 yard matches, and most definitely 600 yard F class matches, wears an old El Pass Weaver T10. My A2 Service Rifle wears 1/2 MOA National Match iron sights.

When/if I get around to putting it on this rifle, I have a Burris Fullfield II 2-7X. Like others here, my gradually aging eyes don't take to 200-400 yd ranges like they once did, and 2-7x is plenty effective, while not being annoyingly heavy,long or bulky. And, the Burris FFII's are a decent quality scope for relatively little money.

I've got both a scope-Bushnell trophy xlt, and a red dot-vortex strikefire 2. What my Sport II wears depends on the situation. If I'm heading to the range, the bushnell is mounted. Otherwise, the vortex is mounted.
