Well I didnt want to start a war here though I know people can get touchy about their gear. For the record, I didnt claim the Acog didnt work at all, it was hitting my points of aim with my friends ar15. As stated I just was unimpressed with the glass in both and the sharpness of the dot in one of them.
I may as well tell you all my plans and needs for optics.
First, I bought the original RMR to mount on a Vepr 12 shotgun. It is still naked wanting something better than the stock sights.
Next I want something for my Ruger SR556 in 6.8 spc. I kind of like the idea of a 1-4 power scope or a 2-8 ish power scope with a red dot on a 45 degree or on top, quick release on the scope with the flip up sights still on. I shoot well with the irons and do like them better than most iron sights but i still like a nice scope better. This is what had me contemplating the Acog in The first place.
Next I want to put something on my ruger sr762 I picked up last week. A good 3-9 seems about right imo.
I have an FNAR that has a 4-16 barska scope on it. It needs something better. Same magnification Would be fine with me.
I have a Savage 338 Lapua that I put a 8-25 power Mueller scope on after reading reviews and haven't shot the groups I expected with that rifle. I want to put a more tried and true scope on it to eliminate the scope being the culprit out of the equation of possibilities. I have a had a bad habit in the past of buying cheap optics over proven quality and I want to get away from that.
I should probably start a new thread for suggestions, but that is what brought all this about.
