M4rk Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 sup guys, i think ive already asked this question.. but i was just wondering.. about scopes...i have an ACOG style 4x32 scope. do u guys use a riser? does the iron sights get in the way? wer do u guys mount the scope? more front?? more rear??? and do u guys zero it at 100 yards? 50 yards? if u zero it at 100 yds... is there a compensation shooting at 50 yards? sorry for the beginner questions.. but i was just wanna make sure of things. thanx.

techmike Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I removed the front sight on mine, wanted a free-float rail. You should mount your optic so you have the proper eye relief, which is the distance between the scope & your eye - you should see a full circle in the scope with no dark spots or distortion. Use quality rings/mounts - a good scope will suck with a flimsy/loose mount. I do not use a riser if possible, with a good cheek weld on the stock, a riser can mis-align the scope with your eye. Lower power scopes on an AR will print the front sight tower, so either replace the front sight with a gas block with a flip-up sight or remove it all together. I sight mine in at 50 yards, and with my scope, dial the elevation from 0 to 6 for 100 yards.I'm no expert, that is what works for me. Brownells, one of our advertisers, has lot's of how-tos, and videos, I suggest you check them out.TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techmike Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 No prob, another way to go is a red dot sight. As I understand it, they will co-register with your metal sights, so if your battery dies, you can still aim your rifle..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanegt Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I use a Leupould 3.5-10x40mm scope on mine, with 'high' 30mm tube weaver mounts from 'Hawke'.It doesnt touch my rail or print the front sight post. Although now I have gotten rid of the front sight when I installed a rail that is as long as the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
