AR-15 BS Thread

If its only for hogs im assuming you wont be shooting past 200-250 yards, i would look at the vortex strike eagle http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-strike-eagle-1-6x24-riflescope-ar-bdc-reticle ignore the 450 price tag on that site they go for around 330 and with black friday you can probably find a better deal
also look at primary arms http://www.primaryarms.com/primary-...le-advanced-combined-sighting-system-paps1-6x they go under 300.

 

I few months ago I bought a Nikon buckmaster 2 scope 3-9x40 for my 7mm-08 rifle. It's a great scope for only $150.

I don't have any experience with scopes on AR's but I don't see why this wouldn't work.

 

Thanks guy's this information points me in the right direction. yes it will only be for Hogs, I do not Deer hunt. I am trying to get away from my EOTech. I may have to send it in for losing zero not sure yet.

 

I agree with the strike eagle recommendation. I recently got one and love it so far. People say the glass isn't as good but I have no complaints. I got mine on Amazon for 300 and free shipping.

 

I have one of

Leupold 110793 VX-2 Rifle Scope

these on my M4. It's $260 on Amazon but you will still need a mount, you can find a decent one piece removable for $60-80 or high mount rings a lot cheaper. Nice simple crosshair scope.

 

if you are traveling make sure you confirm zero of your optic before going out on your hunt.

This is what I use on my AR it works great. I have had this scope on a Rugger 10-22, 2 AR's, a .375 H&H , and a .458 win mag and it has never failed. On 1x you can look through it with both eyes open for close shots and 3x will get you out to 250-300 with no problem. It's only $180 and free shipping.

 

Thanks you guys have got me going now this is all some great info.

 

I've killed a ton of hogs using a Redfield 2-7x33 that cost around $140 if I remember. Absolutely no need to spend $1400 on an optic for hog hunting.

 

I can't agree more. For the last 5 years I've filled all my deer tags and taken several hogs using a $40 Simmons scope.

 

This is a good choice $172 on Amazon.

 

I use it for target up to 200. Inside 100 I don't even need to use magnification.

 

Alright gents, what mount do I need to get over my front A2 sight? For the Redfield 2-7x33. I would like something I do not have to lap to fit.

 

Just a normal mount, the front sight will cause no problems with the scope.

 

Thanks.

This is what I use,gives proper cheek weld and eye relief

 

red dot?

 

The Burris PEPR mount is very nice for the money.

 

Murdocs has a bushmaster 5.56 with a red dot sight for $599
Good deal?
