LOL...um that sounds wrong. Its for WSRA style shooting not real "men" hahaha. I need some minimal magnification to help my crappy eye sight on it as well.
What would be a reasonably priced solution say under $500 (even less is better) or over If I have to.
Bushnell TRS25, cost around $100 and a 1" riser
Are you shooting in open? Or service?
Buris acog style scope could be a go if you import it yourself

Service class compliant,and gives you the small amount of magnification your after,and with most WSRA club shoots being 100m would do you fine
Open, so anything goes it seems.
Hmm, thanks, goes past $400NZ so I'd be stuck for tax....oh well, no biggee, still better than being raped here by a gunshop.
I shoot open, and use a 2.5-7x weaver on mine.
The 2-7x burris is good too, with the added bonus of holdovers for .223 out to 600yds. A 3-9 would probably work, but is a bit bulkier.
The closest you'll shoot with WSRA is about 25m, most of the time you'll shoot at 100, and the max at Kaitoke is 200m. On the long range days, you might struggle a bit, but it gives you an excuse to build a long-range upper and flash scope for the longer shots. ;)
Not sure what they go for on NZ, but it could be worth asking herbmister (the big tall lanky WSRA guy who allmist allways shows up late) to price one for you-pm me if you don't know who I'm talking about
The best thing about WSRA is it gives you the excuse to have about 15 rifles so you have the right thing for each yearly half match.Quote:

Looks like digit sells them for $500,may not be worth importing yourself

+1 to the Burris
I use a mueller that has a 1 moa dot and a outer ring i can shoot inside the 1 moa dot with my ar i know as long as that outer ring is on target at 100 i can hit a std ipsc target so its good for rapidly putting on target its a mueller multi shot 2-7 magnification
That's the 132 so almost half the price, do see them pop up very cheap locally from time to time.Quote:

An alternative if you can live without magnification is a Redfield Counterstrike, red dot, built in laser dot
Well spotted
No....I'll use the p14, no4 or M96....Quote:

Irons?
Yes, Peep sights, has to have windage adjustment though.Quote:

No, I mean, use irons on the AR
There is a Burris 332 on TM, been watching it for a while, didn't sell for $475 for ages. So he has no reserve.
Burris AR-332 3X32 Prism Scope | Trade Me
I find that at 100m my scores are the same with the irons in my service ar as with the 4x acog. Stretch the range out and that changes.
But my eyes are relatively young, don't have a face for the op but going by his comment about needing magnification maybe he is older and his sight is degrading on him.
Besides, if you have to shoot in open class, you may as well go all the way and get good vari-power glass.
Not much sense in handicapping yourself by shooting with irons when you're up against all the other open class guns.
Oh missed that he was shooting open
The Leupold Mark AR 1.5-4 is a good option too if you aren't fussed about getting a variable scope. The only thing I dislike about it is that it is a 1.5x, not a true 1x. I got mine from Leupold 115388, Mark AR Mod 1 1.5-4X20mm Riflescope Matte Finish, Duplex Reticle and that came in well under $500. I was tempted by the firedot version but the bank didn't quite stretch that far. As it is already dialed in for 223/5.56 in 55gr it's pretty spot on.
