http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-viper-pst-4-16x50-riflescope-with-ebr-1-moa-reticleI got the 4-16 50mmWas about $600 at cabelas, 800 retail but I have seen on sale for 400.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Very nice Don, bot the pop gun and the scope.I was going to suggest the Vortex PST like I got, but that is a great looking scope.You know, I have an entire pad of Ben Bun Laden targets. Does that mean I'm profiling? 8)
Yes for the new project gun.Have everything now but the gas tube, handguard and compensator.
That 308 will run a tad more to shoot. Anything under .50 a round and your are lucky.
savoring each and every shot

Did you get your scope?

I wanted a QD mount anyway, so I thought I'd explore options for a medium height QD.

I'm wondering if I will be able to run iron sights at all, and in the case of the ones on this Sig
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
So did you ever end up mounting that scope to the 716?If yes how'd it work for you?If no, well then disregard.
Mounted it: YesThen took it off awaiting a better mount. I'm not comfortable running a gun without iron sightsWe have all sorts of gun shows coming up, I thought I'd visit one to find the right mount that fits that weapon
perfect 0 with a QD is an impossibiity. The question is what is your acceptable margin of error.Inside of 1000 yards, proabably not a huge factor. 1000th of an inch equals inches at 1000. Can you live with a 4 inch variance at 1000? Probably
I guess I always thought the purpose of the QD would be to get it off quickly in the event you broke your optic and were in a bad situation and needed to keep shooting. In that scenario I could care less about return to zero. I don't see myself spending more than I did for the gun to put an optic on it and then taking it off to shoot with the irons, unless Someone was shooting back at me and the glass was shattered or something. But I have no formal training so maybe I'm missing something?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The bullets struck a rotor blade, the fuselage and one of the gunners personal M4. His M4 was destroyed by the single AK round tearing it up. Had that been just the ACOG, then the weapon could have still been used accurately with BUIS.On another engagement the gunner was hit in the chest armor, and the power chord going to his mini gun was nearly severed rendering the gun useless. My point is in a fight, the darnedest things seem to happen. So losing an optic is well within the realm of possible, I believe
This is slowing me down some;
