    Cheap scope to do some ammo testing

    Pondering a cheap scope to slap on my AR15 just to shoot to 100yds to do some testing not much magnification needed, just enough to get over my eye sight limitations x3 or so maybe even a fixed?

    Rifle Scope 3-9X42EG Built-In Laser | Trade Me

    made for "single soldiers"



    wtf does that mean? Im married so I cant use it?



    got a quick mount, reckon so its faster to get it off and throw it into the bush a long way!

    Yeah probably not a bad buy, I had the m-223 2-8 power and was awesome for out to 500m
