I cannot decide what type of optics to get for my 5.56MM 10.5" AR15 SBR. The gun is only used at the range so.... Any ideas? I am looking to spend $350 to $450. I like quality stuff and appreciate the "cool factor". :)
Thanks

I'm partial to aimpoints so either the pro or a used comp m2 should be in your budget.
Aimpoint Pro.

Aimpoint patrol or a Leopoldo Vxr 1 to 4.
Since this is just a range gun.
You are not looking for long range.
I would go cheap.

I'm running the Aimpoint C3 2moa on my 10.5. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
A bit of searching here could go a long way in answering your question. For bang for the buck the Aimpoint PRO is tough to beat.
A few bucks above you price point, but an compact acog is a perfect optic for an SBR. 1.5x and dot sight.
Used TA44
I have a TA45-6 on one SBR upper, and an Aimpoint T-1 on another.
I'm seriously considering getting one of these used ones for another build....
I love stirring the pot. Not saying you have to get what's on this SEAL weapon, but you may be able to find a 552 used for around $400.

I have a 552 on my issue carbine and I'd take it off and toss it in the trash and replace it with a PRO if I could, a PRO that can be bought new for the price you are quoting for a used 552.
