Shooting 25-500 yds!

[Gunzilla]

I'm with most others here, get a good 1-4 or 1-6 and that should cover all your requirements.

500 yard shots will be stretching the limits of the 1-4 so if you plan on doing a lot of shooting at 500 yards spend the extra and get a nice 1-6.

You could always get more than one.

Most of us have QD mounts but don't remove them.
Pick up a used red dot or eotech and a decent variable scope with QD mounts. If your patient, you can come out ahead when comparing to some of the 1-6's.

You can swap out optics when they suit your needs best. Plus you'll figure out whether or not you really need anything more than a red dot.

The TA11, TA31, or TA33 ACOGs would fit that bill great in my opinion.

I use a CQBSS on a KAC SR-25. I use off angel irons for anything inside 100 yards and the scope for anything further.

For a 14.5" Noveske I went with the HAMR and a DeltaPoint Reflex sight. That is a good setup. It's just different enough from ACOGs so I have to get use to new things, but I love Leupold glass. If on LaRue made a QD mount for it I would be in heaven.
