Which optic would you put on a Colt 6920 AR15?

That's about a 400 buck discount. I could live with a lit reticle if its cross hairs.

after running every possible combination of aimpoint, eotech, acog............I have chosen to go with elcan specter dr. Stupid expensive but best glass I have looked through in the category 1 to 4 is fast and easy with the throw lever batteries die no biggy still has an etched reticle thany you can illuminate or turn to red dot not to mention built like a tank downside is it's heavy but worth every ounce and unfortunately every dollar

The battery is rated for an average of 3,000 hours of use. Minimum is 600 hours, if only used in bright daylight at high settings. That is a heck of a long time for such a little $3 battery. The odds of the batteries dying a pretty low, in my opinion.

That lever on the Elcan is pretty nifty, I must admit. That reminds me, I need to get some MGM Switchview throw levers for my two scopes. The turn on my Leupold to go from 2 to 7x is quite short and easy. With a throw lever installed, it would then become real quick and easy to change magnifications.

You lost me at "Cheaper Than Dirt"..... those dishonest, gouging, schmucks will NEVER get a single dime from me again after what they pulled during the last "gun grab" scare.


OK, back on topic.

They did ya wrong ay. Here's another good deal from amazon then.

Well , it was a good deal at $508. I read someplace that Amazon may change the price on something as many as 80 times a week. Or maybe it was a day

As stated above, the new vortex strike eagle 1-6 is a great option in a sub $400 optic. After using good 1-X optics on ARs (Vortex razor 1-6 and Burris 1-4), I will say affirmatively that in my opinion they are unquestionally the way to go.

in my opinion Aimpoints are the way to go. ACOGs are also great because they don't require batteries and are fantastic scopes. ACOGs do have a learning curve because of all the etchings but if you do your homework you'll be a great marksman with one.

However, I have a Bushnell TR25 on my 6920. It's lightweight, nearly as durable as an aim point or Eotech, and relatively inexpensive. I think I paid around $80 for it.
