Already, I am thinking about which sort of optic I want for it???I like holo sightsBut this is a .308has mo-rangeSo a scopeLike a 30mm tube, mil dot reticle, and what magnificationGranted I am shooting a what, 16" barrel here??So no M1A, but gonna have serious smack down at 500 yardsIt's the tucky. Translation: Not many long range shotsSo what a 3X9???Fixed 4X???Redfield, Leopold? cheapo Bariska?Holo + Magnifier?Co witnessed with flip up sights?After Christmas, and after getting SquareD running and whatever else, then optics time.Give me some time to wear it in properly!
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!
Congrats on a nice gift!I've got a NF NXS 3.5-15 that is great. Might be a good fit for the Sig.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
I'm just Sauer because I didn't get one. :)
Drooling and loving the pictures! One with sights lined up I expected red dog, not sled dog!You can now, doubly call Mrs. K, your SIG nificant other! ;)
I'm not learned in modern scopes. Been all up in ACOG's and things like that for some time...no magnification.My shooting of the tactical nature has been mostly from a moving platform at maybe 150 meters and I would just walk the bullets into my target.But before all that fun, I used to spend some quality time behind my trusty and ancient Tasco 4 X 12 on my NM barreled M1A. With this Sig having a shorter barrel and being lighter, I could see it as my everyday long gun. That suggests the same old up close and personal shooting I have been doing, but being a .308 and tagging along with a host of boneheads (You guys) who are shooting stretched .22LR, I would be the guy with the reach out potential. So that means to me something of around 4X-10X for shooting out to say 600 meters, but mostly, say 250. Now being a carry weapon that might find time in the gun rack on Sarge, I don't need it to look like the back to the future car.And a couple of sights like the offset thing bulks the gun up. I'd like one optic on the top and an attachment for a roast beef sandwich on the side of the rails where I can get to it quickly for those shots where the stomach is talking at cha... Maybe a cup holder on the other side for the quoffee.Make sense? :o

As for the options to carry your roast beef and quoffee, well those go in your assault pack.
With that weapon, you only need a dry box full of matches...........find a field full of steers and drop your roastbeef right there! Much more mobile, and with this group of stretched out pea shooters, not much will be left. One of us boneheads will be your coffee holder, so just put a quality optic on top, soft tipped bullets in the mag and some salt in your pocket to either sprinkle over the roast or rub in our "wounds".......jesh......overthinking, over tricked out Ofsir types!
Didn't carry no stinkin back pack!My ruck sack had rotor blades on it
I have one of http://www.rapidreticle.com/evo57.php on one of my Ar's I really like it. it would be a good fit if you shoot nato rounds.

Nice choice. I bookmarked that website and was looking at it again last night.
Don, I think you will like it. There is a bit of a learning curve to the hold overs and ranging. I don't think there is a faster way to engage targets at different ranges.
Well, I'll get it in the ballpark, then let a couple pros like you and Keith, (our Marine) put it through its paces. The final solution will be the spendy PF scope on the Sig and this scope on the Springfield.

I don't think there is a faster way to engage targets at different ranges. After talking to Rich on the ranging then shoot, how simple could it getFor those who don't knowThis specialized PF reticle has 100 meter holdover lines. on each line is a bracket that is 9" at that range...the approximate size of a human head. So you look at your target and move the gun until the head fits one of the brackets. Well that is the rangeYou are already on the correct holdoverNo wind, snap the triggerif you have a crosswind (Always) and its from the right we'll say and you're guessing its 5MPH then simply slide right 1/2 the distance of the right wind lineEach wind line is exactly calibrated for a 10mph wind. You see with this reticle, while you are ranging, you are also aiming. once you get the range just adjust for wind and make the shotAmazingly simpleAnd this reticle was designed for my SOCOM buds and is in their hands (I would guess)
I was going to suggest the Vortex PST like I got,
Don, not sure you're going to like it.I'll take it off your hands for you. lol..Should be the cats meow for ya, I'd say.Also, you don't need the elevation and windage marks, you live in the land of 'Kentucky Windage' :)
