    Rifle Scopes Primary Arms 1 X 6

    I have one. Only negative comment is if you're over 50, this scope's reticle is likely going to be too small for you. Other than that, no complaints from my son, who is using it since I can't see the reticle well enough. He's happy with it.

    Rifle Scopes Old man issues with reticle size and help selecting scopes

    That's good information. Busy doesn't bother me either. Anything I'm going to shoot that's not paper, I'm going to want to look at for a period of time anyway, to be sure it is what I mean to shoot. Saw good men get killed unnecessarily years ago from too quick trigger fingers.

    Rifle Scopes Old man issues with reticle size and help selecting scopes

    Tim, Yes, I can get the reticle on my buddy's scope in focus, but even in focus, I can't read the numbers or see the hashmarks, just the dot/horseshoe. The reticle is just too small. Your guess on the AR15 is pretty close. I didn't do a good job of keeping track of parts cost on that...

    Rifle Scopes Old man issues with reticle size and help selecting scopes

    Joe, Kinda figured the FFP was a bit much on the lower end. Will a 1-6X scope provide all the magnification needed to get everything one can out of a 223/5.56 round? I'm thinking it is, but wanting to confirm. I took a look through my buddy's scope I mentioned in my OP. Couldn't see the...

    Rifle Scopes Old man issues with reticle size and help selecting scopes

    Bob, Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, my eyesight might very well be in the level with Mr. Magoo. I'm at around a 10/11 in correction. (Got measles as a kid, really did a number on my eye sight.) Wasn't a problem until I got old enough my eyes were too dry to wear contacts. Have...

    Rifle Scopes Old man issues with reticle size and help selecting scopes

    Thank you for providing your age. It helps a great deal, as I'm looking to buy scopes to use up to a point I'm no longer able to go into the field, which, based on my family's men, should be somewhere in my late seventies/early eighties. Both those scopes are reasonably priced and definitely...

    Who would you recommend to put my new build together?

    +4 on yourself. The tools and how to required to assemble a lower are listed on multiple AR forums (google) and are not expensive. Assembling it yourself, you'll be able to repair it yourself. I built my first AR in the year I got out of the service using a manual I bought with the rifle kit...

    Barrel Suggestions please, I'm Stuck

    I installed Rainier Arms Select™ 5.56MM MEDCON Barrel - 18" (18"/1-8twist/5.56 chamber) on an SPR build. As accurate as described and it's a great balance between strength and weight for when you have to actually carry it somewhere. The rifle balances well with or without a scope and if...

    Rifle Scopes Need help picking a scope for a VEPR Hunter .308

    Hunter is the model, but not what I'm planning to use the rifle for. But weight is definitely a consideration, since the rifle is heavy already.

    Need help picking a good scope for a Vepr Hunter .308 semi-auto rifle. i'm wanting a Mil/Mil FFP scope, not too big/heavy and hopefully under $500.00, as I have several scopes/optics to buy, including AR's. General use for the rifle/scope combination will likely be 100-600 yards, with some...
