Where to buy tactical scope in the Portland area/suggestions as to scope?

[techiej]

Looking for a scope for an SW MP15-22 that also has rails so that an accessory can be mounted later.

My needs are for low power -- either 4x fixed or something in the 3-9x variable range. Use will be primarily at the range @ 25, 50 & 100 yards; occasionally up to 200.

Want an illumindated reticle; preferably switchable between red & green with a bullet drop indicator.

Would like to keep the $ below 400 if possible.

Around Portland I have noticed that most sporting goods stores have a generic, but usable, selection of scopes but if you want a better selection, gun shops like Keiths or Curts have better suited scopes for the types of rifles/carbines that show up frequently on these boards.

Just read an article on the Leupold (sorry typing on phone visiting sick relative), there's a 28mm I think for 300.

Sounds like you've priced yourself nicely into a Vortex Brand product. Not a lot of places carry them locally from what I've seen but they are gaining popularity. I just saw a few of them on the shelf at Rapid Fire Arms in Sandy, Oregon but not sure which models they had. Most of them have the Red or black reticle. They make a nice 1-4 power that I almost purchased and at last minute went with a Trijicon because that day I had more $ than sense.

NW Armory or Keiths are good choices, I have bought tons of stuff from both.

Vortex is sold at NW Armory I know, and its good stuff, my Strike Fire Red Dot is great.

Here's a link to the place I got my optic. This Leopold looks good for the $ in your range.

Leupold 91345 VX-R Zombie 1.25-4x20 IR Scope

another link with a better graphic for reticle but I think pricing is not so low. Kinda like that pattern.

I do like that leatherwood reticle by the way. That's nice. Wish you were closer.

I have a scope for sale for $100 that fits your description (1st one already sold). The bullet drop compensator is for a .223, not .22 rimfire though. http://www.northwestfirearms.com/pa...cog-style-reticle-223-scope-s-sale-trade.html
