Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles SWFA 1-4x24 on an AR?

Trybone,

I barely make 200K++++. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............

Think about it, he is 5'4" tall and has no neck. That mounting "job" is spot on for him.

Then why do you live in a dump?

I'm happy to be what you NEED most. Hint.

You Clueless Brokedick Drooltards are a fhuqking HOOT! Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.........

I appreciate the offer. I can always use a piece of ass, but you don't qualify. 😂

Good way to get into magnified optics.

The chuckleheads are discussing scope mounting so here is how my friend Kyle has his mounted.

Notice no silly nose to charge handle and the optic is well forward of the charging handle.



Here is a 1-6 Mk6 on a .308 showing proper optic mounting.



Two 18 inchers in 5.56 and 6.5mm CM showing proper optic mounting.

I guess that's fine for someone who doesn't know how to use a shooting sling. But you're the only one I've ever seen recommend mounting the scope half on the float tube and half on the receiver. It's not best practice by any stretch of the imagination. Float tubes bend and get bent.

You call N-T-CH silly, but what have you ever won with an AR that involved not shooting from some sort of artificial support?

ETA: At least you are smart enough to know the scope should be forward of the CH. Someone taught you well on that part.

At the risk of educating someone, the reticle is in mils.

Thank you! Makes sense.

Eye relief is pretty short on 4x on that scope. I'm 6'2, and have mine mounted just rear of the CH, using an A2 stock. Looks funny, but thats what works for me. And that's what matters. I'd be all up on the charging handle otherwise.

At $200 for a SWFA you have nothing to loose.

If you don't like it in 6 months... mail it to me and I will drop you a check for $200.

The Minox ZA5 HD 1.2-6x24 (30mm) was my my default go-to for cheap class... I am sure a SWFA will suit you fine

The eye relief on a Leupold Mark 6 1-6x20 is 3.7" (That is actually very impressive)

This shooter is @ 5"

FYI... this in not a Leupold Mark 6 1-6x20 (3-18 maybe?)



Summary... the scope is too far forward.

Edit... John will argue now...

Have one on a 10/22 and one on my 700 300BO.
Works good in both those applications for me, though I’m about to switch the one on the BO to a 3-9x that’s sitting idle.

I am sure you are used to telling people something 4 inches long is really 5 inches and almost average.

I knew you would argue John...

But seriously...

If you are going to ACT like a expert... try not to be wrong so often.

Fair enough?

I do typically correct someone when they respond to my posts with misinformation.

When you properly mount the optic. That's a 4.5-14 Leupold on 4.5X.

John... I also knew you would double down...

SO... your advice to all shooters is to mount an optic 1.5" beyond the manufacturer recommend eye box?

I stand corrected... The Eye relief on 4.5-14 Leupold at 4.5X is 4.4"

That is crazy good...

Edit...

That does not look like a 4.5-14 to me...

Edit again... that is a 34mm tube correct?

Wouldn't that make it impossible to be a 4.5-14?

The scope used in the video is a 4.5-14.

Kyle is shooting a Mark 5 3.6-18.

In case anyone was wondering what failure looks like.

LOL
