    currently in the same boat looking at what to mount on my AR, so far pretty sold out for the Vortex viper PST 1-4 scope but still shopping as the funds are tight for now. i did however consider getting a mueller 1-4 scope as there half the price and seem to be good value for money then upgrade down the track IF there is even a need too as the mueller has done well in reviews, cheaper option

    scope choice depends on ranges you plan to use it at

    I want 100-250 so iv gone with a 2.5-8 x32 vx3
    a 3-9 would do the job just fine too,

    red dots and low powered scopes are only good to around 100m then presision starts to get hard

    iv never got the idea of quick release, are your guys scopes likely to catch on fire?

    Ha ha we know you re jokin ... . My AR332 is just about useless spotlighting rabbits but awesome during the day when walking
    around the farm. Awesome to swap over then go straight into longer range small stuff...

    Tussock have you tried spotlighting with it for possums rabbits etc ? That's where I found needed more magnification for my poorish eyesight anyway

    They are in my opinion the perfect semi auto sporting rifle. A hunter/shooter is well served if he has a good bolt gun and a sensible AR in his cabinet.
