    Optic for SCAR

    Just bought a 16' SCAR.. Trying to get the best scope for it.. But really overwhelmed with options. Was thinking about trijicon but hard to find one for 16 inch barrel, not specifically made for a flat top m4. Thought about some 1x4's variables as well. Would love to hear any opinions.

    I slapped an Aimpoint Comp ML3 on mine with Larue Lt-150, looks great.

    The TA31 series, the TA33 series, and the TA11 series are all made for a 16" barrel.

    Looking for something more than a red dot, either a trijicon or one of these new 1-4 setup's like the NXS. I am so overwhlemed at the selection and options!!

    Ask yourself what you want the rifle to be used for. Come back with the answer and we will be able to direct you further from there.

    Optic is purpose driven, so it is for you decide. Issue with SCAR that you need to be aware is interference between charging handle and mount - choose your mounts carefully.

    I'll probably use it in 3gun, and want it to be good all around. I don't like to isolate it to one thing, just like a good general purpose gun. Was reading in another thread about acog vs a good variable 1-4... Not sure i see the need for acog now with all these variable 1-4's out now.

    If 3 gun then 1-4. Now you just need to decide on which manufacturer and model you want to give money to.

    Yea I have come to that conclusion. Do you all think there is really 1k or 2k even in difference between the NF NXS and say the S&B short dot, or the leupold cqb ss? 3k for a 1-4 seems like a ton of money. I'd spend 3k on a long range precision rifle scope, but for a 1-4......

    The short dot seems super expensive... I have a burris xtr-14 now, but i want something more... The nightforce nxs is getting good reviews. Is there anything else in and around the 1k price point better than than the nightforce?
