I've never put a scope on any of my ARs or AKs, so I really know nothing about the topic (I use iron sights or a red dot). I saw the SWFA 1-4x24 on sale at the SWFA site for $199. Anyone use this scope on an AR and if so, what are your thoughts? https://www.swfa.com/swfa-ss-1-4x24-tactical-30mm-riflescope-109309.html

It’s fine for that. You could do a whole lot worse for the money. I had one and sold it. I discovered I tend to like the option of more magnification even if I’m starting at 1x. That and the avoidance of all things sfp.
Hell...Reloading/Shooting are still my favorite things to do,besides play in the box the kids came in.................

I have one mounted on my Ruger SFAR and plan on keeping it there. I had initially mounted it on a 12.5" AR, but it seemed to heavy for that rifle so I moved it over to the SFAR and seems to be a good fit.
I would have no problem taking it out into the woods after deer. 4x is plenty for where I hunt.

Remsen I have them on a 223 and a 762x39 and they do quite well. I usually like a little more magnification but for those rifles they do what I need.
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...? She's gone shootin..

Is that really a 1.7 MOA triangle with a .3 MOA dot?
Seems very small.
Other than that, seems OK. I prefer more mag, but I have a few 4x on ARs and it's good enough for a lot of uses.

Funny how you've saved that for, what? About a year now? Anyway, thanks for posting that. It's a great example for Remsen of how NOT to mount a scope. Remsen, whatever scope you end up with, mount it in a +3" forward cantilever so you can get the proper nose-to-charging handle head position. The way Fugstick has that mounted is only good for shooting off pogo sticks or a poor standing position. It's a guaranteed headache from prone and nearly impossible from sitting if you have normal anatomy. I guess dwarves like Fugstick are an exception.

Let's start with WHAT AR ? A 300 BO pistol takes a lot different scope than 338 Lapua.

Thanks to all for the advice. It's going on a basic 5.56 AR build with one difference (for me), an 18" barrel. I have AR pistols and M4 clones, but nothing with a longer barrel. No purpose in particular for this build, I just wanted to have one to see how it differs from something like an M4 at distances over a few hundred yards.

I’ve got one on a Mini-14. If it survives on that whammer-bammer I’d say it’s good to go. $199 is a steal. Mine’s mounted in SWFA rings, another bargain.
What fresh Hell is this?
