I've narrowed down some things on my M4 build, and now I need the Wisdom of the Crowd, particular preference for input from our members who were in the Rockpile in the early years, call it pre-2008.
Thinking is to go for the days before there were sufficient ACOG's for everyone--what all did you guys see in the field that would be plausible as unit- or private-purchase optics on a USMC M4 in combat around that time? I know several folks have mentioned Aimpoint PROs and the various M68's, I'd suspect the Elcan SpecterDR (SU-230) might have shown up and I know a lot of guys had Vortex Strike Eagles for LPVO's.
For an unmagnified (this is an A-frame FSB build, and I don't want to have to rip the optic off to switch to irons), short- to mid-range envelope, what all did you guys either see or use in-country around that timeframe that would fit the bill?
