I picked up new optics for the AR15 pistol. I was having a lot of issues with the Bushnell TRS-25 red dot; and decided that I had already invested way too much time on it. Needed something new and since I was going to replace it, I opted to go the direction of a LPVO scope. The red dots are fine in the pit, but I wanted something my eyes could work with out to a couple hundred yards.
After spending many hours on the internet looking at scopes, I came across a pretty good deal on a Vortex Strike Eagle. It’s a 1-6×24 second focal plane MOA. It has an AR-BDC reticle that I like, and will come in handy at the range.
Opted to not use a Vortex mount. Instead, I went with a Burris AR- P.E.P.R. (Proper Eye Position Ready) mount. They supply two sets of top rings: Smooth and Pic Rail. Which may or may not come in useful later on; and had really good reviews.
I think I’m taking the AR pistol in the right direction.
