jerrodh Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Experience needed. I'm looking for a 1-4x or close optic for my FS2000. I hate picking out optics as I really don't know enough about them to really tell a good one from a bad one besides reading reviews. I want some real life experience from columbus racing. I have an eotech with a magnifier on another rifle that works good enough, but honestly I don't love it as much as I thought I would. So I'm looking for a good 1-4x optic for my Fs2000. What do you have? Doesn't have to be exactly a 1-4 but somewhere on the lower range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M0nk3y Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I run a Leopold Firedot SPR 1.5-4 on my BCM AR. http://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/scopes/mark-ar-riflescopes/mark-ar-mod-1-1-5-4x20mm/ Glass is very clear. Not a true 1-4 but close enough I could get within my budget. Eye relief is surprising generous. The VX-R Patrol is a 1.25-4 and about 1 step up from the Mark AR series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Sub $300 would be nice since I have 1 to many projects going on right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmaa Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 For a rifle like that I like red dot's with flip to side magnifiers. but.. A buddy of mine has a few of these and really likes them: https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_4X_Prism_Scope_p/pac4xadb3.htm The have several different models with different magnification. The reticle is pretty neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think for where you are in terms of budget you need to buy a vortex viper pst 1-4. They MAP at 500, but can be had for 400-450 on eBay. I feel like that's the cheapest optic you can get away with on that gun. It's a scope (not a red dot) but the reticle is illuminated in the center and iirc it's a horseshoe. Otherwise you could get the Burris prism 3x. But I don't think it is variable.

1fast5gp Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 That's a Tavor with a Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 http://www.fototime.com/57C717FEDDDEA1B/standard.jpg I also have this for sale with the primary arms deluxe scope mount that is barely used. PM me if you are interested in the set up. https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_1_4X_24_Illuminated_Scope_PA14X_p/pa14x.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast5gp Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 You posted a pic of a Tavor with the newest generation Bushnell 1-4..... not a vortex yeah yeah, Just giving him an idea on what it would look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 here are a couple FS2000's with 1-4 scopes. This guy is an idiot (mount is backwards, amongst other tacticool riddlings)... but you get the idea http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m492/jimmyt91/FS2000/FS20001.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/4a86539d-4227-4232.jpg Actually, Both mounts are backwards on both guns. Wonder if they wont sit right (pertaining to eye relief) if they had the mount in the right way? Either ay, you could always just get the American Defense mount that isn't offset.

stangsn95gt Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I agree with Frank and Bob I love my Viper PST 1-4 I have one on an AR. I have a few friends that tried it and decided to go with a 1-4 also but didn't want to spend the money for the vortex and went with the Nikon M223 1-4 and they aren't a bad scope but not the same quality as the vortex.

M0nk3y Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 With cheaper 1-4 scopes that aren't $1k+, isn't there possibilities that extreme fisheyes could occur and poor eye relief? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 If you are patient and can up your budget to the $600 range, you might be able to pickup a used ACOG 4x32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks for all the feedback guys its given me some options. That's a Tavor with a Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 http://www.fototime.com/57C717FEDDDEA1B/standard.jpg I also have this for sale with the primary arms deluxe scope mount that is barely used. PM me if you are interested in the set up. https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_1_4X_24_Illuminated_Scope_PA14X_p/pa14x.htm Frank how much where you asking for the scope? I might consider it but after the pictures above I'm afraid to long for what I'm going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Here's the ACOG 4x32 on a Tavor for comparison... it's a bit longer than normal because it has the IR filter and killflash on the front of it... http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k239/jjjxlr8/RangeTest1_right_deployed_zpsk9u4xebm.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 here are a couple FS2000's with 1-4 scopes. This guy is an idiot (mount is backwards, amongst other tacticool riddlings)... but you get the idea ... Actually, Both mounts are backwards on both guns. Wonder if they wont sit right (pertaining to eye relief) if they had the mount in the right way? Either ay, you could always just get the American Defense mount that isn't offset. I've mounted several optics that way for a couple reasons. One - as you say, depending on rail and setup you can't get the scope where you need it for proper eye relief, and Two - As a leftie shooter I can tell you many of these mounts just don't sit as well facing one way over the other. That subtle little difference in cheek weld / rail placement / mount build / dominant eye can mean a lot. Mount it how it works for you. -------- (Lastly - though this shouldn't be a factor except for shitty equipment/badluck - I've had certain mounts just refuse to dial in properly. No matter what I did it wouldnt zero perfect. Flip the mount around, bingo, right on first click. I won't list this above cuz I think its mostly due to ghetto gear, but there have been some combos of premium manufacturers that just won't play nice together) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
