Hello /k/unts,

Just bought a PTR 91 with top rail. Can anyone recommend a decent scope and mount for target shooting up to 600 yards? Looking for:
-$300 or less total cost, can go over
-Ballistic reticle
-See-through/quick detach mount preferred, but not absolutely necessary
-Preferably doesn't block the charging handle
>>

Pick one.

I use a vortex crossfire ii 3-9x on mine. My range only goes out to 300yds, but it's more than enough magnification to see a half size silhouette at that range. Cost was only $125 or so.

Can't help you with the mount though, I use a claw mount and regular 1 inch rings because norailz.

At that price pert near the only options is Vortex Strike Eagle or the Primary Arms 1-6xACSS.

So, uh, is the PTR better than the C308? Figured this would be the place to ask.

Yes.
>>
>>32261742
You might luck out and get a C308 that's decent, but you run a high risk of getting a shit one that won't function well. The PTR won't likely have those same problems and is made with higher quality parts. Buy once cry once.

PTR is the best you can get that isn't HK and as a result fuckspensive and rare.

Because you suck and they hate you.

I see... what about the C93? Would the smaller round make it less prone to problems?

I have a ptr91 with the welded rail, if I put a scope on it am I gonna need to also get a cheek riser?

Unless your head is huge or you mount it reeeal low.

PTR handguards touch the barrel. It isn't free floating.

They don't touch the barrel though; you can grab the barrel and push the handguard up, down, left, and right a couple millimeters each way.
>>
>>32261825
But doesn't PTR make most of the parts on the C308 anyways? They make the upper receiver, barrel, lower receiver, and a shit ton of other parts for it.
>>
>>32262030
No they do not. They are floated.
>>
>>32262030
They don't. They're mounted onto the cocking tube, not the barrel
>>
>>32262080

Even the cocking tube is on the barrel.

If it were free-floating it'd only be connected to the receiver.
>>
>>32262080
Fake
>>
>>32262082
But they don't put the parts together; Century's own "assemblers" do that.
>>
>>32261465
300 should get you a Vortex Strike Eagle if you want something a little better quality than the Crossfire.
>>
>>32262108
The cocking tube is not connected to the barrel. The front sight tree wraps around the cocking tube but does not touch, except on a short run of early HK91s. It's freefloated
>>
>>32261843
The c93 was one of the few things century did that wasn't shit but have fun with the $50 mags

>>32262082
No like 99% of all other century arms shit is cobbled together from what ever parts they could find.
>>
>>32261465
Hello /k/unts,

Just bought a PTR 91...for target shooting up to 600 yards?
Need a different rifle for that
-$300 or less total cost, can go over
Vortex strike eagle
-Ballistic reticle
That's a problem. Don't know where you'll find a proper first focal plane optic near that price range
-See-through/quick detach mount preferred, but not absolutely necessary
Can get pretty cheap mounts off brand, won't need see through with a 1-6x imo
>>
>>32262108
You're not a very smart person are you?
>>
your glass should cost at least half as much as the firearm you are putting it on. though preferably, the glass should cost as much.
>>
>>32262132
False, most of the parts are new except the sights, bolt carrier, and bolt. Pretty much everything else is PTR made.

No, not for the A3 and later. The cocking tube extends into the triple-frame but is not connected to it. It only makes contact with the triple frame if the barrel is forced in one direction or another.

Yep, was going to post the same thing. Nothing comparable for the price, IMO.

For ~$100 more, you can get the Primary Arms 1-8x scope. Get a little more distance.
>>
>>32262271
FAL is a shit meme. G3 is better in every single way besides rate of fire, and it's fucking 7.62 so full retard shouldn't be on the table that often.
I guess there's also the ability to launch grenades with blanks but... don't do that.

Is the Primary arms 5x any good or is the strike eagle all around better
>>
>>32262313
$380 for just the scope is pushing it but I'll look into it, thanks.

>>32262373
Get a job. If $400 is a lot to you then you probably can't feed that raifuru.
>>
>>32262347
They're two different things; one is a compact fixed-power prismatic and the other is a larger variable-power.

Primary Arms 5x Prism on an ACOG claw mount my lad, thank me later

Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 with BDC or Mildot reticle

There are many choices but I stand by my statement. PTR uses old HK manufacturing equipment, that's as good as you're going to get without sucking the Koch or going custom.

Primary Arms or vortex. The specific model depends on your preference (size, weight, magnification, fixed/adjustable etc).
>>
>>32261465
I have a vortex diamondback on mine, it works well. BTW OP I've found a 150grn fmjbt sierra hollowpoints on 45grns of Varget provides superior performance especially past 300 yards.
>>
You'll want the shortest scope possible, trust me.

I got my Nikon Prostaff 7 4-12x42 from Cabela's for $299. I put it on a Burris PEPR QR that I got from Jet for $74.

The gunsmith that lapped and leveled my scope said that Burris is one of the best mounts he'd come across in a while. He said he hardly had to lap the thing at all because it was almost dead smooth right out of the box.
>>
>>32262082
The only parts PTR make for Century are the barrel and receiver. Everything else is old, fucky CETME kits put together by century.
>>
>>32264664
It doesn't have to be that short. Besides; it's a battle rifle not a sniper's rifle. It's good for hitting man-sized targets out to 800 yards and you don't need YUUUGE glass for that.

>>32261537
