Have heard good things and I like the 1 in 7 twist.
What do you who know suggest as to optics? Please don't even suggest the $1200+ ACOG's. My preference would be a red dot something or other but nothing speaks as strongly as the experience of others.
Come on RichZ I know you have much knowledge (and enough fire power to end the next world war) to offer some good ideas for a mid priced red dot.

Yeah, but honestly it's been a LONG time since I've bought any gun stuff. So I have to assume what I have used in the past has been surpassed by later technology.
I too prefer red dot scopes, but I have noticed a problem with them and my eyes. Some will be very blurry and not provide a nice sharp dot. So realistically you have to try them out to see if they are compatible with your eyes. This might not be a problem for everyone, but I know it is with me, and assume I am not unique in that respect.
But I will say this, I have not seen any other merchandise hold more accurately to the saying that "you get what you pay for" than rifle or handgun scopes.
Now with that being said, I believe the last red dot scopes I bought that I thought were moderately priced and quality built (and I could use them without problems) were the Leupold/Gilmore brand. But your mileage may vary, of course.
