:smiley_confused_vra Looking for scope suggestions for a RRA.
I have never been much of a long range shooter so I am asking for help on an appropriate scope for my 5.56/223. I realize its not a "long range" gun as long range shooters go but it will reach out further than anything else I have. I'll probably just be reaching out to the popular 600 yard distance but will probably be just punching paper, then varmints. In all honesty, I'm not even sure I could identify a landmark at 5 or 6oo yards but I'm going to figure that out TOO.
In the end I will probably only be shooting 1-3 or 400 yards but ya never know...
I don't want to put some piece of crap on but also wont be spending what I paid for the gun either. I'm really looking for some ideas on appropriate scope "sizes" for that distance shooting. ( within the parameters of the calaber...)The brand names are secondary.
Also some idea on bases. Would you just go with the RRA High Rise scope mount or are there other high and lower bases?
Is there a reason to weigh out the difference of a 30mm or 1"?
I don't need entry/combat type. That for another upper and another day...
Thank You
