A perfect AR10

Sounds like you need an offset holo dot for quick close-in shots.....

ARTrooper · October 18, 2016

eotechs I don't like, acogs I liked in Afghanistan because of the added magnification, but eye relief wasn't that great and field of view in the optic isn't that good. would much rather have a scope that can have better eye relief sometimes and far greater field of view often times than a acog.

aim point red dots I love for at-15s when it is more about sending rounds down range to just give em hell. but if you got to make each shot count and you don't want to damage meat, it helps to have a little bit of magnification, especially since none of us are getting younger. lol.

so if I was clearing rooms, aim point red dot would be my optic of choice, although that close you just point and shoot. but if I was to pick one optic for any and all situations, it would be a 3-18x50mm first focal plane scope. low enough magnification that you could clear rooms with it, but high enough magnification that you could take those accurate long range shots. now I know probably a bit expensive for something along those lines, but a less expensive 3-9x40mm scope would be better for most scenarios than would the other optics.

although the 1-6 power scopes are very useful also. but, look what I just found. :drool: http://www.bushnell.com/tactical/riflescopes/elite-tactical/smrs-1-8-5x-24mm

Shepp. PA makes some awesome stuff right? My neighbor has the PA 4-14x44 308 hud dmr scope acss reticle and a buddy has PA 3x prism scope acss reticle. I have personally shot both of them. They are worth every penny from PA. Im waiting on the PA 6-24x50 308 hud dmr scope now

I would love to have one but the price jump from the 1-6 was just a bit much for me. Last 1-6 version I got was $400 on sale, haven't seen that 1-8 for under 3 times that!

yeah no kidding right, the price is ridiculous. most of the time the reticles were to bright and we had to tape over most of the tritium. I think they are living off of the military and video game fame... "if the military uses it, it must be the best!"... "it's cool because it is used in video games!"

yeah, huge difference in price. makes it hard to justify spending the extra money.

This PA 1x8 is comparable to the Bushnell, price wise as well;

I use a vortex Diamond back3x10 milldot reticle went out to jays and shot it at 100,200,300and 400 wrote the dope down and put it on the bottom of my 10 rd mag the last elk I shot was 276 yards the one before that 306 yards the one before that 50 yards both the long range kills were one shot kills and the scope has been on for 4 years now and has never varied from original zero which is dead nuts on at 100 yards.......
