Your looking at this from the wrong angle. As cheap as AR parts are now you need a dedicated close quarter combat rifle with aimpoint. Another one for loger range target and hunting😀. If that's not in the budget the Leupold vxr 2-7 is a good option.

All this money we waste on this stuff only to find out that we are really not good enough to take advantage of it. Its so funny it is sad.

I only have one AR myself right now. Not an ideal situation, but that's where it's at.

I keep the irons on all the time and usually the red dot. Have the allen key in the stock for the RD mount. That covers close up and out to 150. Could really scare some stuff out a lot farther. VW bus at 400 easy.

In the bag with my extra loaded mags is the 2X7 on the Weaver thumbscrew mount. (I know you didn't like it) I have put it on and off at two separate range sessions and was back to hitting an 8 inch plate at 100 on my hind legs. If I have time or know in advance, like a hunt, it would be dialed.

Just need a few more set-ups. smile

Remember, an "all arounder" is like a jack of all trades, but master of none...

I started out thinking one "all arounder" would be plenty, now I have 4 and considering a couple more. It truly is a form of mental illness... Haha!

I am referring to most of us, we spend a lot of money on our hobby of hunting and shooting in an effort to improve but most of us don't shoot enough to even know what we don't know, myself included.

How true! The money spent on one more rifle may have been better spent on ammo or components for one of our current rifles.

The old adage of "beware the man with one gun" has an element of truth, providing he actually shoots it...

Hi-Lux (Leatherwood) announced a 1-8 coming this year at SHOT Show. I think it'll be around $600-$800 street price. I know their CMR series gets good reviews.

I like the Mk6 1-6x on my AR-10, but it is a big, heavy scope.

Cheek rest a issue? Scope looks really high.
