Pick Up my A3 Tomorrow
I ordered a Bushmaster AR15 A3. It finally arrives at the FFL tomorrow.
I'll probably take it to the range Friday morning. Eventually I want to put a scope on it. Any recomendations? There was a scope in the "Dope Bag" section of American Rifleman a few months ago that caught my eye. It was some kind of low-light scope (but not nightvision) and was around $300. I unfortunately have tossed the issue and they don't list back information on their website.

I bought the Millet Zoom Dot, which I saw reviewed in the American Rifleman. It's a great little scope, but does not have magnification. There is a HUGE market out there for fake EOtechs and Aimpoints. It's just ridiculous. If you want a decent scope, it's gonna cost you. I'd spend your money stockpiling .223 and worry about tricking out the rifle later. You can always do that. But .223 is getting crazy expensive and ain't gonna be any easier to get if Obama gets elected. I'm trying to get to 10k rds. before the election.

I've stockpiled all of the .223 my ammo locker can handle and now all of my safes are full. (And what I have will last me years after reloads.)
I literally need to buy a new house to make room for anything more...

When I read that you are getting your A3 tomorrow, I thought Cesiro was going to have a heart attack....

I love my AR, its a Varmit version, so I have a different type of scope on it than what you are looking for. Bill |

I happen to live in Jim's universe.  God d@#! f$%^&#g AUDI! Blew a small coolant hose 20 miles from home and now have to pull the whole front of the car off to get to it!   Congrats Chris, I love my "Rock River Arms" AR15. FWIW, they are fun to plink with and blast varmints with even with the iron sights.

Congrats! I bought my Colt AR15 Sporter II in .223 earlier this year and I haven't even fired it yet. I'll probably start going to the local indoor pistol/rifle range again the fall after driving season. I'm looking for good, cheap ammo, but it's slim pickings...

How about a Century model?
And I see everyone seems to use different barrel lengths. 16", 18" or 20" ? They have a nice used one (Century) at the local shop but it has a non replaceable 20" barrel. Not sure Ill be shooting at anything more than 300 yards away! Thoughts? |

Nice
I'm sure I'll have a "few" scoped weapons on hand next weekend. You can check em out and see if you prefer any of them over the others first hand. -Nick
