Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Leupold Mark AR mod1 1.5-4X20mm scope??

Reality tends to collide with Fantasy and facts are farrrrrrrrr more intellesting to me,than someone's Imagination and Pretend.

In a nutshell...the Reupold Mark AR scopes are steaming pieces of fhuqking dogschit,as a BEST case scenario. They do not track for schit,they wander POA/POI correlation on zoom selection,are of exceedingly modest erector travel and are tender in all facets. Tough to get giddy about any one of them facts,let alone their "working" in conjunction as a "system".

Now if them thangs horn one up,in regards to an optic,there's lotsa outfits that'll happily sell you one or more.

SOLE highlight is the illuminated Firedot TMR Reticle,as it don't glow like a gawddamned fhuqking stupid christmas tree,like most other's efforts,in regards to same. That being said,everything surrounding it,is a piece of fhuqking schit. Hint.

The Reupold 3-9x has 1/4 the erector travel of the Illuminati(which coughs up 62+ Mils on the average,with another 10 Mils of both ele and wind on the windshield)),none of which goes where one wants or needs. It's double the Reupold Mark AR 1-4x. Not much of a Sales Pitch there,but them's facts. I've happily dumped several THOUSAND MOA(ala Mil scale) through an Illuminati,betwixt pokes and it is impossible to be made to stumble. Flipside being,the Mark AR can't be made to do the opposite,with even modest bumps of single digit correction. Hint.

Further,the Reupold's erector scale is a fhuqking joke.



Re-further and a seemingly of grave concern for many,is the fact that the Reupold cain't be zero-stopped,though the Illuminati is easily nudged in that direction.




The Illuminati's built in extry battery storage compartment,is the greatest invention since the blowwjobb and to clarify for Texans,I'm talking the hetero version of same. Laughing!



The Illuminati weighs a "whopping" 14 fhuqking ounces and with that HUGE weight "concession",you reap rugged reliability,repeatability,copious erector travel(all platforms have yielded a minimum of 31 Mils remaining on the erector. That in Blackout(100yd supersonic zero),223 Wylde's (75 HPBT's at 2800fps and 200yd zero) and K-Hornet's(33/35V-Max and 150yd zero's).



The Reupold AR's adjustments are loosey-goosey compared to an Illuminati and to the tune of being about 1/4 of the Tactiltitude in direct extrapolation. They cain't be moved unwantonly,even while Runnin' & Gunnin'. Hint.



Noone hates variables more than I and with The Illuminati sighted in to correlate actual milscale subtension,one gives up nothin' up close and reaps ALL rewards downstream. The reticle jives with erector come-ups and that huge latitude,grants windows of opportunity that the Reupold cain't even begin to fathom. The Illuminati has more erector travel than my Reupold MK4 M1 16X's. Hint.

My 18" BHW LW Middie 1-8" Wylde and 75 HPBT Hornie's at 2800fps,will happily reach the 1500yd line on the erector alone,from it's 200yd zero...at low tide on The Milford. Best part is...that all flew over pointy heads! Laughing!

The Illuminati's rheostat smokes the Reupold's and betwixt every setting,there is an "off" position,so one is never more than halfa click from being in bidness. Whole numbers are brightness,interim dots are "off".

Rest assured...that I'm hoping everyone is too stupid to partake in the crystalline cool water and instead circle the Waterin' Hole,convinced they know what in the fhuqk they are talking about.(grin)

Punt the Reupold Notion,while you can and thank me later.

Hint.

Waitin' on this weather change,because gunnin' Wet Bucks is a hoot.

I have one. I like it. Stick doesn't. Nothing new.

Recently bought a colt LE6920 thinking about mounting a Leupold Mark AR mod1 1.5-4X20mm firedot G Illuminated scope on it.Anyone using one of these ? Thanks.

Whether you like Stick or not, The SWFA-SS is sure worth a look. They have a solid reputation for being tough as nails and tracking reliably. The 1-4 has a nice reticle and way more erector travel than the leupold and if you compare it to the illuminated leupold, it costs less.

I like leupolds a lot but in this case, I'd pick the SS

YMMV

I have two of the 3-9X40 versions and they both track great.
