At this stage, I just want to see how well I can do with this build. And how well this build can shoot.
The max distance they have at my range is 25 yards. Once I learn to get better there, I’ll have to make friends with some farmers up north and try to work in a bit of distance and learn all about windage and elevation in outdoor environments.
I’m still doing another Amazon search, but will rifle through the link you provided.
Thank you.
This is a subject that, and of course you know, if you ask 100 people their opinion, you’ll get 1000 opinions.
I have over the years built up about a dozen custom AR uppers and designed each one with a specific calibre and purpose. I have the full gambits of scopes specific to those purposes, red dots to high power, with true 1x to various powers in the middle. I don’t go cheap on optics either. I wait until I can afford what I really want because I don’t want to pay for something that I wont be happy with.
For 25 yards you could easily get by with just a red dot. If you want flexibility to use on longer ranges, I recommend a true 1-4 power so you can have full field of view both eyes open in close and zoom out for the occasional 200-300 meter shot.
If you start with 4x or more, you wont like it for close in use. If your varmint hunting, 4x to 8x is great.
1x for each 100 yards is the rule of thumb. 1000 yards = 10x. An AR is going to be stretching to get out past 400 yards usefully. A 308 is decent out to 8-900 yards. If you are going to do extended range, beyond 1000 yards, you need something bigger.
Anyway, that’s my 2 cents.
