So I bought my first (and the only one I'll ever need) AR in 6.8SPC and put a
4x32 ACOG on it with a larue mount. My aging eyes need some magnification to reach out past 100 yds. My AR is primarily a range gun - but may get some hunting if the occassion arises and, as we all know, for when society as we know it ends. Funny I now find myself getting ready to pick up an AR in 5.56 (how did that happen?). So since I like some magnification do I swap the ACOG to the 5.56 since ballistically it's designed for that cartridge and get different glass for the 6.8, or just get new glass for the 5.56? I'm kind of leaning either again in the 1x-4x category, but would really like to consider the 1.x-6x scopes. I've researched the found good stuff on the SWFA and some others - but it seems like there are a lot of 1.x-6 out there now but finding comparative reviews are tough - and I'd like to keep it under $1,000 w/mounts. Any thoughts or personal experience? Thanks folks.
