Yeah I'm not really seeing the appeal on an AR, either. If I'm scoping a carbine/cool guy setup, it's nice to have 1x magnification as an option on the low end, and illumination is handy, plus a mil/mil setup is never a bad choice. If scoping a varmint AR, this isn't the right scope. If just wanting a cheap basic scope with no turrets or BDC for a truck gun that might get stolen, a Burris or whatever that can be purchased 100 dollars cheaper would probably work just as well. No need for a small eyepiece on an AR, as the optic sits pretty high and there's no need for bolt handle clearance (and what's the small eyepiece going to save, 1 ounce maybe?). It might be fine on a 22 LR that won't get dialed, but otherwise I just don't see the appeal with the short eye relief.
