Any help finding this (Or something similar) will be highly appreciated.
I'm currently running an AimSport 4X32 that I tore off my old Hi-Point 4095 Carbine.
My rifle has a Faxon Firearms 18" stainless heavy fluted barrel with a mid-length gas system. The gas block has a rail that's just a bit lower than the upper receiver's flat top -so the MagPul iron sights won't work on it (They'd melt anyway).

It seems to work well enough, but I've been obsessing over this for six days now.
I figured that if I posted this thread in the wee hours of the morning, someone rampaging through all of the, "Banglist," threads might find it and reply...
And it wouldn't interrupt the daily news threads and conversations.

It's been a long day, though. And, I must get to bed. I'll respond to anyone's posts after I wake up.

Thank you, FRiends

I have a Leupold AR Mod 1 3x9x40 with the fire dot illuminated reticle on a stag model 8. It’s in the $500 range and is a very good scope for the money. Anything by vortex would be just as good IMO. I have one of their PST vipers 6-24x on a bolt gun and it is excellent.

I'm looking at the Burris AR scopes. That said, lots of nice stuff in that price range.

Obviously, look through the glass and see what fits you.

They are not really “scopes” in the conventional sense, but it is very hard to beat the EO Tech sights. They look like scopes, and they are the fastest sights I have ever used. They are in your price range.

I’m quite fond of my Aimpoint Comp ML2. It’s not for long range precision work but on my M4gery it works very well.

If I had a full length I’d seriously consider a Leoupold.

Forgot to mention I used a LaRue mount. Pricey but worth it.

To me you need to first decide at what range(s) and conditions you might be engaging targets, under what light conditions, do you wear eyeglasses, do you intend to be mobile/kinetic/taking it to the bad guys or mainly defensive?

Form follows function.

After considering all of the above, my .223/5.56 ARs have Eotech holographic sights. My .308/7.62 ‘reach out and touch’ firearms have 50mm Nikons with 45 degree offset iron sights

What your intended use is will drive your optics choices.

My 8 cents

What’s that optic you have on the C93?

What is your intended use for the gun?

I have an AR with the Nikon P-223 1 to 4X, very nice scope, and on a bolt gun a M-223 3 to 12X. Using a 55 gr. boattail, the scope, once zeroed, and be dialed to any distance just by turning the elevation knob to that distance.

For faster hold over, get the BDC reticle.

What do you want to do with the rifle? If you want to do tactical or three-gun type shooting, your answer is going to be different than hunting of 200 yard range shooting.

There is a thread on AR scopes of all kinds and their good and bad points on AR15.com.

You might want to start here:

Anyone have any experience with this scope?
