dwamp2006 1 Posted May 7, 2014 Wanting to put a 1-4x optic on my new build. Budget around $200. What have you all used that you would recommend or not recommend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted May 7, 2014 Don't do it. $200 1-4x are not that good. The only one I would endorse would be the Millet DMS, but really you are asking for a unicorn. Plus, you will still need a decent mount, and that can cost another $150 I would suggest a cheap red dot like the PA micro or the Vortex one, because the performance difference is not as drastic.

FishNJ 2 Posted May 7, 2014 i saw a post on slickguns for a Bushnell AR illuminated 1-4x for 199. decent reviews. i ended up with a Vortex Viper 2-7x with lifetime warranty for 199 from cameralandny. got the burris PEPR mount for about 70. i wanted QD latches. primary arms has mounts without the QD for less... i think they also have a 1-4x or 1-6x in the 200 range. should be a good value also. edit Primary arms 1-4x $119 https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary-Arms-1-4X-24-Illuminated-Scope-PA14X-p/pa14x.htm Primary arms 1-6x $269 https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary-Arms-1-6X-Scope-with-Patented-ACSS-Reticle-p/paps1-6x.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lublin 3 Posted May 8, 2014 I run a Weaver Classic Extreme 1.5-4.5 on a Larue quick release mount and it kicks all kinds of ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian B 2 Posted May 9, 2014 Burris TAC30 can be had for 230 at amazon on sale sometimes, I have seen the PEPR mount on sale for 60-70 bucks as well. Pretty sure the TAC has a lifetime warranty too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XDm9-3.8 2 Posted May 16, 2014 Very happy with my Vortex Crossfire 1-4 with v-brite reticle. Actually had a 1-4 PST and decided I liked this better. It's in your price range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
