Hi all!
Yesterday I acquired a late-eighties Colt Delta HBAR. It’s a transitional rifle with the older, slab-sided receiver, A2 upper with flash hider but no bayonet lug. It appears to have had about 200 rounds through it so it’s pretty minty. These were outfitted with Tasco rubber-armored 3-9x scopes mounted on Colt-marked ARMS carry handle mounts. The scope is surprisingly “ok” but of course it can be improved upon. Does anyone out there have any suggestions for a nice, clear scope for shooting out to 200 yards? I am considering an ACOG of some sort but I think I’d prefer something with variable power. I’d also like a crosshair reticle with BDC capability and illumination might be nice to have as well. I’d like to keep the overall size and weight down as the HBAR is already a bit of a pig. Thanks for any guidance you can provide!
