Thread: Help with purchasing low magnified AR scopes

So many options out there.

CQB shooting and short range (1-200m hunting)

Vortex, Primary Arms, Leupold, Bushnell?

I know there are plenty of high priced brands but $5-700 would be what I would consider for a seccond hand scope.

Thoughts?

a hensoldt fero z24 could probably be had at the top end of that budget

I have a leupold AR Mod 1 3-9*40 with tmr reticle and P5 dials. As new cond. $500. PM me if interested. It is a good scope but have upgraded so its sitting here as a spare.

I have 2 Millett 1-4x24 DMS scopes and love them. https://www.scopeuout.co.nz/collecti...an-rifle-scope

I had a 1-4 on my AR15 when I first got it
thought it would be ultimate

I wasnt a fan of it at all.
at 1 power you get to see tons of your suppressor which annoyed the shit out of me
it stayed on 4 power till it got replaced with a typical rifle scope. 2.5-8x32 vx3 leupold
If you haven't tried one yet id recommend trying one before sinking big money into one

Not for a AR needed to put a scope on my
.300 Blackout. Looked at the Leuopold Hog Hunt..? Nice scope but a bit limiting I thought. Just went for a Bushnell Banner 3-9 X 40 or the 2-7 X 33 can’t remember which power. Happy days

this would suit

@Hunter_killer get a primary arms acss reticle 1-6.

They are bang on with the Ammo you will be slinging and will work on a 308 if you move the scope around.

On 1x they are a red dot, 6x you can shoot to max effective...

I have a Leupold VX Hog 1-4 x 20 on my shorty lever action. Nice scope though even close range in the bush I often end up winding up the magnification.
There is one on Trademe that closes tonight, supposedly ony sighted in so near new, it's currently at a third of new retail price.

Should also mention I have a Leupold VX1 2-7 x 33 on my bolt action 308. Cheaper than the VX Hog, but glass seems as good. Hard to say which I would put on an AR, depends on the sort of shooting I guess.

I have a Nikon Monarch 2-8x32 BDC on my 300BLK. I originally had a Nikon 2-7x32 with a 300 BDC reticle but got the Monarch cheap and moved 2-7 onto my 22.

Both are very nice scopes.

Cheers!

Will look into these, as PA seem to be producing some good stuff atm.

Hmmm. Think I will pass, but cheers mate. Besides, I thought these were set up for AK? Or is yours converted to picatinny?

Wouldn’t a canterleaver mount help?

I do like Millet. Will have more of a look into it. Usually quite heavy though...
