Need optic

[08sniper]

Let's hear it . What are your recomendations for optic on rifle? I see alot of primary arms fans never had one of thier upper end scope but I do have a 1x4 on an ar. I like vortex stuff

what is the intent on use and range. price range. Im a vortex fan also, but primary scopes are right close in comparison! I've used the 4-14 on a couple friends rifles and perfect repor on bolth for bench at 100 yds.

Steel and paper out to 800. Mainly want reviews on primary arms stuff and other reasonably priced optics. 4x14 on low side but I also want it to look good on the gun and not look like the Hubble telescope. Compact with good power I guess if there is such a think. Long scopes look descent on bolt guns but not so good on AR style rifles IMO. Thanks

I put a bushnell 3x12x40 on a couple of mine, they look good on one and are pretty clear. When I was sighting one in it fell off the table and landed on the scope. didn't knock it off. it may break tomorrow, who knows. right now I'm happy with them.

Does look good. I always wonder how all that scope hanging out front not supprotedwill work out on those big scopes.

On good upper and rails can you spread out mounts? Or is this a no go.

No problem with a good mount properly installed. You never want to bridge the receiver and the rail with your scope, setting it up for some bad vibrations compared to just staying on the receiver. Never seen an issue with hanging a bunch of scope out there when using quality equipment.

Can can't go wrong with that PA 4~14 ACSS HUD DMR .308 scope.  The reticle is what makes it fantastic, all the way out to that 800 yards.

Thanks I just ordered the aero precision ultra lite mount and I think for the time being I will mount my well used leupold 4x14 just to get things started and see how she shoots. My go with primary arms 3x18 when it is in full production.

If you were in the military one can get a pretty good discount at https://www.experticity.com/sign-in  will need info from your DD214 to sign up

AcActually vortex gives me 40% off. Which is nice.

I don't remember if it was Leupold or Vortex when I called them about a military discount, they referred me to either govtx discount program or experticity web site. Then Nightforce requires you to send your drivers lic with the special marking on it identifying one's self as a veteran, after that they send you a discount price list.

Do you go direct to Vortex then?  

That's a good discount by far, saving money to buy more bullets is a good thing. Good luck to you Sir.

I have to go thru vortex. 40 percent is military and Leo. Print out form submit proof and your good to go. Also if your friends order and use your name you can get additional discounts.
