[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1455384, member: 4235"] Yeah, you don't need magnification for good hits at 1/4 mile (500 yards). Your iron sights are just fine. In fact, that is we Appleseeders calls the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile." A Rifleman ought to be able to take any rack-grade rifle with iron sights and surplus ball ammo and hit a man-sized target out to 500 yards. A scope doesn't make your rifle any more accurate, but it sure does make it easier to see the target at that distance, no doubt about it. If your vision isn't so great, you will definitely benefit from one. I think Okie Tac is right on with the Burris XTR 1.5-6x as a good medium price scope for an .308 AR. They actually have pretty clear optics... I had a burris on my .308 AR, though it was a different model, and I thought it was a pretty good deal for the money as far as the clarity of the optics and the durability of the scope. The adjustment dials were a little on the mushy side, but they were EXACTLY 1/4 MOA clicks, which you can't say for a lot of the scopes in that price range. [/QUOTE]
