A 24 inch 6.5 Grendel upper followed me home the other day. I'll cobble it together with some other bits and pieces and I should have a decent long range AR for about $300 (or 500 shots for $1 each, and I get a free gun!). If I don't like it, I'll likely re-barrel in 7.62x39 (I think), or have it cut down.
Now I need to get some glass for it. I don't want to invest too much in the glass -- since I am only into the gun for $300. I have an extra Burris PEPR mount that would be great, but it is for a 1 inch tube, not 30 mm. A 1 inch scope on a 24 barreled gun seems like heresy, but the price is right, and I abhor cheap non-rugged rings. I might try out a 2-7 Vortex Viper I have on my hunting rifle, but ideally I'd like something with a bit more oomph. Maybe a fixed Bushnell/Nikon/SWFA 10 power?
Thoughts?
