Best Scope for an AR-10?

Orca301 · July 3, 2005, 04:52 PM

I have been looking at high quality scopes for my Bushmaster AR-10 and find myself torn between the Trijicon ACOG and the ELCAN Specter line. My intended application is longer range target shooting say 200 to 600 yards. I have a Bushmaster AR-15 with an EOTech holosight for CQB applications.

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts and experiences with either of these products. Also, if I am missing a choice that should be on the list, please feel free to add a recomendation.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

If you're willing to shell out for an Acog I envy you...they're the heat, but they're just too expensive. I can't comment on your other option, but an Acog may not have quite the magnification you want for longer ranges, but that depends somewhat on your targets...on the plus side and Acog works great at close quarters too.
