1-4X scope recommendations

[ray1970]

If this is a repost, call me out on it and post me a link.

Looking to pick up a 1-4X scope to throw on an AR. Maybe a 1-6X but most likely just a 1-4X. There are quite a few out there so I am not sure which ones are good and which ones to avoid. Not looking to spend a boat load if money but no going to buy some BSA type crap.

All thoughts and opinions welcomed.

Thanks.

I'm a fan of the Vortex pst's. They are solid and at a great price.

Burris Tac30 (about $300) or MTAC (about $400). If you want to step up, consider the Burris XTRII in 1-5 (about $800). Sure there are other options, but Burris has a great warranty, great glass, and better value than any other company in the sub $1000 range. Plus, they support the sport and they are in Colorado to boot.

I like them too... I'm in the same boat of what I want to put on a few rifles.

Probably going to go with an red dot on one and a pst or two on the others

I bought two of the PSTs. They're amazingly decent for the money.

Just picked up a tac30 and so far I love it. But I don't have anything to compare it against. Coat wise it's perfect for my needs, I had a Lt104 mount already and they work well with any optic. For $500 id go that route

Hmmm I am in the same boat and want to check out the Vortex PST...calling ArkTactical, you have any in stock?
The Burris MTAC is a pretty nice setup too as I have shot one of their higher magnification versions and the red reticle really jumps out at you.

I thought you were keen on the Leather wood CMR? I was just looking at their CMR4 model.

I have been shopping 1-4 for a while. I sold my Tac30 (bad idea) and have been looking at the PST's and others. Bushnell has a new 1-4 but I have no first hand experience on them. The SWFA 1-4 is very nice but pricy.

I keep coming back to the MTAC/Tac30, maybe the reticle will grow on me. I know MarkCO swears by them (here and on brian enos), maybe he has an old demo I could get (hint...hint...)

I wish me Benny Hill Simmons never broke

Lol, the first thing that should had been asked, How much you willing to pay?

Tac30, MTAC or the older model LRS. Awesome scopes, love mine.
