flounder Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Good luck getting that stuff right now. Sounds nice. Also, .223 ammo is becoming hard to get as well.Post some links to the rifle and parts. I dont feel like searching for it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is when the batteries fail you lose the red dot and need the flip up(which I am getting). And when your going at about 100yds+ the dot is too big for any precision shooting. The CQT allows for 1-3x magnification for better distance while having good close shooting. The CQT also works with a black reticle if the batteries fail vs colored.+1 over EOtech. The Arms Inc CQT mount is also detectable to let the flip-up work in case of massive failure. Edited March 6, 2009 by SJC1000rr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats ridiculous..And 1050 for the one that you want is a complete sham.. Have you considered an Acog or Aimpoint? I want an Acog bad..

schmuckingham Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 The RRA rifles are nice peices, good call on that one. However the the Leupold is nice but you have to adjust the magnifier and the fact that your buying an entry model rifle with a magnified scope doesnt make much sense to me, but to each his own.

Tomcat0403 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 We use the ACOG and i would prefer the EOTech... the ACOG has never done me well and trying to shoot anything close up screws with me trying to use the sight. With the EOTech I have found it's a lot easier to to keep both eyes open as you would in a tactical situation. Also EOTech makes a scope that you place infront of the holo sight and it gives you great magnification. Works for me, but may not be perfect for others.
