Scope for AR15

[tyromeo55]

I'm running a Weaver Classic V Series 1-3 on one of my carbines. It was $150 from SWFA and is a killer piece of glass for the money.

Midway has some reviews on it. I was looking at this one or the DMS-1, but the DMS is a real chunk of metal. It weights over a pound...the Weaver is less than half that. Plus it doesn't take batteries...

After reading the reviews and looking at the under$140 price tag at midway. It worth looking reall hard at.

I'm telling you, man, it's a diamond in the rough...the rough being cheap optics.

Throw it in some Burris XTR rings and it is sweet.

I like the DMS a whole lot, but the thing is a tank @ 18 oz.

The Weaver does the same thing at 8 oz. and I think the clarity better. It doesn't have the ninja-tacticool illuminated donut reticle, but I don't care.

I've never shot with a DMS-1, but I have handled/fondled a couple.

Apples and oranges...

Or one of thoes new Burris AR A.P.E.R (I think that is what they are called) setups to mount the Weaver

Be prepared to have the Burris mount backordered for a long time.

Midway has the Model 1 mount in stock, however, and it's $65. Needs to be lapped, though.

I have the Nikon Coyote 3X9 with camo'd rings, and camo'd 1/2 inch riser for the Rem R15, and a one piece Armalite AR15 rings and base sporting a Nikon Monarch 6X24 on the other.

So the Wally World scopes around $100 give or take $25, would those be worth checking into? BSA, Weaver, and some others around $80-$130?

you can get a leupold VXI for around 200$. I have a 400$ burris and nikon monarch and the VXI is just as nice if not better

I have been down that road before with a rem 700 I save space on my wall next to the other bucks to remind me not to cheap out again

Let me know when you want to trade a $400 Nikon riflescope for a superior VX1.

i would do it but i have moved up to XII & XIII which are superior IMO . but my scopes are mid level in the world of scopes.
