Leupold - Mark 4 Scope

I was introduced to the CQ/T at a large area gun store renowned for knowledgeable people behind the counter. (Isn't this why the best regional gun stores get large?) I have an EOTech and Trijicon red dot sight, an ACOG, and have used Aimpoints. I started with an M16 before optics were either issued or an issue. My son-in-law (sandbox veteran, infantry officer) got me to remove the screw-down handle from my AR and try optics. He's a big fan of the ACOG after toting it around Iraq, and will "settle" for an Aimpoint, but I started with a Trijicon Reflex to see if I'd like it. Well, the search for more and better soon started...

Talk about fast aquisition, During day light dont even need to light the Reticle. Very easy to mount to existing rails. I had it calibrated within 20 rounds. It is great for my AR-15. The lighted reticle is great for low light conditios. It is pricey but worth the money in my opinion. I was able to hit targets at 50 yards and 100 yards in 1 power mode both eyes open and we are talking clay pigeons. An excellant scope.
