Load development with both guns Bushnell AR optic 4.5x18 off the bench
supers with 16" barrel Redfield Revolution 3x9
subs with 10.5" with a can Sightmark Ultra shot M-spec red dot

nothing high end by any means but they all do a good job for my range toys. With the AR 4.5x18 on my 5.56 PSA brand AR15 using cheap Russian steel ammo I can hold a inch and a half at 100 yd and and 3 inches at 200 yd. I am really impressed with that scope for $200. Older eyes like higher magnification.

Bushnell trs-25 red dot on 10.5" blackout
SWFA 3-15x on 16" blackout
Carry handle irons on 5.45 upper
A2 irons on 5.56

Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x incoming to stir things up. I figured 1-6x is plenty for 300 blackout, and the swfa is only on a blackout cuz I haven't gotten a 7-08 yet. I chose the Strike Eagle over the PA 1-6 cuz it's a Vortex and cuz of the great price @ sportsmansguide ($267.xx cuz I always check for the best discount code 8) ).

No idea what they were thinking. If Cabela's doesn't already do random drug testing of their employees, they probably should.

PA MD06L on Leapers QD mount
PA 3X LER Magnifier w/QD
Bushnell TRS-25 on Leapers QD Mount
Burris FastFire-3 on Leapers QD Mount
PA 4-14x FFP HUD in Burris P.E.P.R w/QD
Nikon P300 2-7x in Burris P.E.P.R w/QD

...hits @300yds on 10" plates is routine with all the RDS units, magnifier not required.
...scopes can xfer across all my platforms with no issues as I have ballistic tables for each scope/cartridge/platform in my Strelok + app.

Been running the PA MD06L's and Bushy since 2013 with absolutely no issues....

Burris Tac30 with a throw lever. Basically the MTAC with a different reticle. One of the lightest 1-4's, mounted in an Aero Precision lightweight SPR mount. The 1-4 seems plenty for a 16" supersonic, I may swap it out for a 1-6x primary arms eventually.

On my "fun" gun I have a 1/4 Elcan SpecterDR with 5.56 BDC.
On my Ruger Gunsite Scout I have a beater 1-8 scout optic, can't recall which one.
On 300BLK SBC I currently have an Eotech XPS.
On Arsenal AK47 clone I have Holosun (primary arms) T1 clone.
For my 2nd Daniel Defense carbine (upper shows up this week) I'm thinking of trying the new Trijicon MRO when the price drops to $400 with the 1/3 riser.
