Sig 556 Optics?
I'm looking for a scope to put on my Sig that will allow me to still use the iron sights. I need some magnification for my old eyes past 50yds. The rifle came with the CQB Halo sight, I pulled it off after the first trip to the range. I don't have a ton of money to put into a scope now so what are my options. Options with pictures of your setup would be great. Thanks

Re: Sig 556 Optics?
You can try to run some rings that raise the scope up high above your irons, or you can run a quick-detach mount, and pop the optic off when you want to use irons.
There are a lot of different optics offering different options, magnifications, weights, prices, sizes, etc...
Just have to figure out what you need for your rifle.

Re: Sig 556 Optics?
for about $250 you can get the millett 1-4x scope.. for $300 you can get a leupold vxII 1-4x... for $99 you can get a bushnell banner 1-4x...
but those would have to be on a QD mount to use your iron sights...
At the end of the day, I don't know of any magnification that can be sitting on the rifle and still allow you to use the irons unless one of them is canted out of the way.
eta: there's also the leupold 1.5-4x Mark AR scope too - http://www.opticsplanet.net/leupold-...ope-67170.html - $280Last edited by MTechnik; August 27th, 2009 at 11:10 PM.

Thanks, I figured it would have to be a QD which would be ok. MT - those scopes are in my price range, thanks for the list, I will start to check them out.
