Bought an AR15

[06yz125]

Yeah..I know..an old guy trying to re-live the past.

Anyway, it took me a while to remember how to strip and clean.
Sad but true. Sighted it in with the open sights at about 50 meters.
Had a decent group at 100 meters.

Heres where my son comes in..LOL.

He wants a scope with a red dot (WTF) on top so we bought one.

Now we have three freaking things to sight in.

We got the scope with the red dot thing..what a PIA.

Long story short...I told him to ditch the red dot thing and go get
JUST a decent scope to mount on the rifle. Then we'll sight it in
to hit a deer in the eye at 100 meters..or more.

We ain't killin no people..<SMILE> yet...LOL<SMILE>

Hes a little disappointed he can't have the xbox ****..but..
my opinion is if it takes 200 rounds of ammo to sight in..then
another 200 rounds to keep all that **** sighted in..its a PIA.

Why not just use the iron sights/open sites it comes with?

[06yz125]

We are. You can use the iron sights also. He just wanted a scope with a dot.

Not a bad concept...but to me it just clutters the weapon
and more things to go wrong. I have heard that Marines
are being issued optics now so there must be some benefit.

Can anyone recommend something that is econonmical "cheap" that works.

[ARTYPIG]

Yep. A HOWITZER!

This is what is being issued these days, http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/opticsplanet/acog-info.jpg

Not a bad sight to use but I'll always prefer iron over optics

I don't know how things are in your state but most will not allow anything below 30 cal for deer.

I don't know how things are in your state but most will not allow anything below 30 cal for deer.

Just carry a box of 5.56 in your pocket to show the game warden, hide the .50 cal. :D

[06yz125]

We can use 223 for deer here.

We got a simple Leopold 3x9 today.
The trijicon does seem cool though.

Gonna go sight it in now.

woo hoo..this is the fun part.

[06yz125]

Yep. A HOWITZER!

I was in an 05 battery. We may have killed some deer
with them and didn't know it.

[06yz125]

Just fired off some tracers...big freaking fun.

Most fun you can have with your clothes on..LOL
