Fixed, or variable?
Scope or red dot?
I would really like a 4x acog, as I've used a buddies quite a few times and it seems perfect, however those stinkin trijicons are a bit out of my price range.
Any other close alternatives?

This scope is like an ACOG unlike the others mentioned.

Figure where I go everything is close enough a holographic sight, if I really need something longer range I do have a Nikon 3x9 on a Larue mount I can swap it out with. Haven't needed it yet :)
EDIT TO ADD: If you want to try a red dot and not pay out the dingleberry for it, primary arms makes a decent one for not that many $$$!

I'm gonna check out the gun show this weekend and see what it has to offer. Maybe I will find a gem. If not, I think I'll be ordering a coyote special. I like that BDC reticle... :drool:

C-Meat the price was actually better on the nikon site for the 4-12 it was only $200 But the 3x9 is cheaper because of free shipping with your recommended site.
That site was off the top of my head. I know he can find a scope cheaper than the dealer site if he shops. Might be only pennies though. I like free shipping and no sales tax.

Those should be millspec'd out to 200 meters, atleast... westside is usually in heavy cover where you can't even see out to 100 meters... right?

I know that a lot don't feel the same way. Heredoggy is correct, the reticle sucks for target. It is a broad open circle. google nikons predator bdc reticle, you will see. But I don't think it's as bad as everyone seems to make it out to be. I got that grouping so it cant be too terrible. I think that it will be even better for moving objects. and dog sized objects. And seeing as it was only $200 dollars to my door, not a bad deal. Even comes with a flash guard. I would suggest it for sure. But I would also recommend heading to a sports store and checking out the reticle in real life. That is what makes or breaks it. I love it, others don't. Just personal preference.
But we'll see over time if i feel the same way :chuckle:

Well, take my review for what its worth, seeing as it's the first scope I've ever bought, and I've only shot 14 rounds through it, but I love it.

You got a good deal! I think when I got mine 3 years ago, the best I could do was $325. That ARD (Anti-reflective device) alone was a $100 item. I got ARDs for the rest of my scopes cheaper by getting the ones that are held in by the flip-up scope covers. I only put scope covers on the front of the scope, because that's the end of the scope that is up when I sling carry it anyway...

I've seen those... can't justify spending the money on it now, but it would be a nice tool to have!
Don't waste your money on one of those things. I had one, and even added a wire extention to keep it open when it got some empties in it, and it was still more trouble than it was worth. I took a small flap of thin leather and sewed some lengths of small bungee cord into one end so I could loop the cords around and onto the knobs on my scope mount. the flap hangs over the ejection port and deflects the empties down. They pile up under the legs of the bipod, and I don't have to look for them in the sagebrush 6 feet away.
