Ar-15 Optics

[Hoootie]

Lets see those optics setups people have on their "evil black rifles". I would post mine, but I haven't gotten my Ar-15 yet (hopefully once that tax refund check comes). I'm particularly interested in various optics mounted on carrying handles.

My SPR wears a Leupold MkIV, 3.5-10, 40mm, M3, illuminated mil-dot reticle. Mount is the SPR mount from LaRue. Very solid, return to zero throw lever mount.



Aimpoint on my carbine. Gonna ditch the aimpoint mount for a LaRue at some point.

I like this setup alot. I'm still not sure if I want to get a flat top upper with flip-up sights, or one with a carrying handle. I will probably shoot mine for a while with iron sights, as the rifle itself will break the bank for a little while. How do you like your flip-up sights?

All of these pics make it hard to wait on buying my AR. How do you guys like your Aimpoint optics? What do the different measurements mean (30mm, 40mm, etc)? I am looking on cheaperthandirt.com and this is how they are separated.

I like my aimpoint a lot. pretty simple and rugged.

I'd recommend getting the flat top. the issue with mounting optics on the carry handle is that the site is too high too get a proper cheek weld. You can always add a carry handle rear sight. With a fixed carry handle upper you're pretty much stuck with it.

Definitely go with a flat top upper and get yourself a set of flip up sites for backup. The Bushy on top has a 4x Colt scope on the carry handle that I'm not real fond of. I much prefer the flat top with a good Leupold atop.
