AR-15 Scope Preferences:

We've listed our preferred AR-15 scopes below.  Of course we've made this list as if money was not an issue!  What we've tried to do is list the best sights and scopes in a range of prices.  It's easy to spend as much, if not more, on a scope than you did the gun.  A Trijicon, Leupold, or EOTech is always a great choice for an AR-15, but let's face it... They're not exactly cheap!

We've introduced a new line of tactical scopes and red dots that we think offer exceptional performance at an easy to afford price.  Like every thing we sell, these new AR-15 scopes come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY and 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!

Red Dots & Reflex Sights -

We pick the Trijicon TriPower as our prefered red dot/reflex type sight for the AR-15.  We like it because it does not require batteries.  You can pick it up your rifle and shoot without turning it on.  It's always ready to go.  Additionally, you never have to worry about losing battery power in a critical situation.  It does have battery power to brighten the reticle, but we've never needed it. 

Coming in very close to our favorite is the EOTech 553.  We prefer the Holographic effect of the EOTechs over any other similar sight, even the Trijicon.  An EOTech that doesn't need batteries would be our idea of the perfect sight!  It was a tough decision between the TriPower and EOTech 553.  We prefer the EOTech 553 to any other EOTech because it sits a little higher and the reticle clears the front sight post of the rifle. 

The Multi Reticle Reflex Sight (MRRS) is a great sight for people who are not jumping out of airplanes or fighting terrorists.  It's a solid performing sight and is a great choice for your AR-15.

Medium Range Scopes -

It's another real tough choice in this category as well.  We pick the Trijicon TA31TRD because it offers the best of both worlds.  You have the red dot sight on top with the 4x ACOG and a bullet drop compensating, illuminated reticle.  The only problem with this scope is the cost!  The solution is the new 3-9x42 with red dot AR-15 scope!  This is the scope you've been searching for and it won't take you're whole paycheck to get it!

I have the Leupold VX-III 1.5-5x20 with illuminated duplex reticle on my target M4.  I like it as an "all around" AR-15 scope.  The 1.5x and long eye relief makes for quick target acquisition and you turn zoom up to 5x for precision or longer range shooting.

The 2-7x Tactical scope is also a solid choice for an "all purpose" AR-15 scope.  Similar to my Leupold mentioned above, the 2x gets you on target fast and you can zoom all the way up to 7x for precision shots.  I think the 2-7x Tactical scope is also a great choice for military guys looking for a scope for use in Iraq or Afghanistan.  The 4x, 2-7x, and 3-9x Tactical scopes are rugged, hard core units and will stand up well under harsh conditions.  The 2-7x is excellent for a Designated Marksman.

Long Range Scope -

In the long range category, it comes down to whether you want a 4.5-14x or 6.5-20x or similar variant.  What you are shooting at and how far away you want to shoot should be your primary concerns.  If you are shooting prairie dogs at a few hundred yards, we prefer the extra magnification of the 6-20x scopes.
