optics

Looking to get new optics and came across this: https://www.wingtactical.com/firearm-accessories/optics-sights/bushnell-trs-25-hi-rise-ar-optics/ Usually close to $200, on sale for $99. Should I go for it? I was thinking of spending more but so far everything I've read/heard/seen says that...

Anyone run night vision scopes on the mini rifles? I'm looking at getting one of these ATN X Sight scopes. ATN X-Sight II 3-14x Day and Night Rifle Scope - 666126, Night Vision Scopes at Sportsman's Guide

I was just about to push the Paypal button to pay for my new Vortex Strikefire red/green dot sight today, but then at the last minute, I noticed that in the title of the product name was the term "Ar-15 mount". So, I called Vortex and spoke with someone there, and he said there are 2 different...

Am I crazy or am I the only person who DOESN'T want a variable power scope? Good lord. I've only owned a few scopes in my life; bsa, nikko, nikon prostaff, so my knowledge level is on the low side, but what I do know coming from a photography background is that prime (fixed) optics of the...
