Scopes for an AR

[erudne]

Vortex has cheap scopes, expensive scopes, and scopes in between. They're not all diamondbacks and crossfires.

Both are fine companies either way, I'm just saying.

It's the local, US support that grabs my nationalistic and pragmatic gonads everytime

Ah, I gotcha. Tbh I just go with other brands based on price and what I need. If the lenses come from a foreign country I won't worry where the body is made either. To each their own.

Lots of good info here. http://www.at3tactical.com/blogs/news/11491881-ar-scopes-what-is-the-best-scope-for-your-ar-15

As of lately I've been looking at 30mm tubed scopes. I want something for my 16" Colt M4, (right now) in a budget range, say $800. I've looked into Vortex, Burris, Leupold, Redfield<(nice scopes although 1" tube), Bushnell, and a few other brands. I'm not sure if I want -1- power (1-4x/1-6x) as priority, or 3-9x, 4-12x, but definitely I do not need a red dot.

I was in Cabelas last week. They have LOT of scopes in their displays. I was actually overwhelmed there were so many. I looked at enough of them that the salesman seemed irritated, like I was wasting his time. I was. I'm window shopping.

I stopped looking for the sake of getting pressured, said "thanks", and left. Too many choices!!

At this point in my dilemma, I'm babbling.

Thanks Bobo. SWFA is another I looked into. I've looked into so many, that I can't remember. It makes me that much more undecided. Sigh.
