Thanks to a trade I am about to make with another member, my AR will finally be very close to done. Only think I'll need is buffer tube assembly which I'll probably grab from spikes or BCM. I am planning on picking up a M4 style red dot through the Primary Arms groupbuy but will mainly use it for plinking and 22lr fun.
I built this rifle with the intentions of getting a 1-4 style optic and was wondering what you guys use? I always read on the AR boards how other scopes are better than an ACOG for considerably less. If I remember correctly there was a member here (thinking glocktogo) who talked about the Bushnell Elite being quite good. I'd really like something with a pretty true 1 power so I can leave it on the rifle 24/7, regardless of it's use. This is my primary rifle so I wouldn't be comfortable using the PA for home defense even though that could be an option for the time being.
I was just curious what you guys were using or maybe have heard good reviews on. I know this question could be asked on the AR boards but I respect the opinions of the people here a lot more and know you guys won't give me typical "ACOG or nothing" responses.
Edit- Just realized I spelled Recommendation wrong
