Hello /k/, I have a 14.5 ar pistol. In looking for an optic, I've decided on the Vortex strike eagle 1x6, or the Viper PST 1x4 also from Vortex. So I planned on getting the strike eagle until I saw this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kljDJi6IcaA

So can anybody tell me how they really compare as far as glass, field of view, eye relief, etc. Is the Viper worth the $150 more with 2x less magnification?
Any other suggestions in the price range? Regard the purpose as general SHTF innawoods tacicalness. Thanks.
>>
If you get the Strike Eagle, get the 1-8. They greatly improved the quality of the glass from the 1-6. Plus you get an additional 2x magnification.

>14.5 ar pistol
Why man could have just gone 16" with plus velocity.
Burris is nice.

Got a BCM 14.5 light weight for a lot cheaper than the 16. Plus, with this brace, I can have a pretty much normal gun, and in the future change out different short uppers.

fair enough

tangentially-related question:

Did the ATF really rescind its autism regarding "arm-braces" on AR/AK pistols?
>>
>>34695684
I think so, but that may have been only for the Sig brace. Kind of hard to keep up with. I'm playing it safe by getting the brace, but I have the private land to do whatever I want with it if you feel me.
>>
>>34695473
If I can get the 1x6 for $250, then is the 1x8 worth double the price?

So now what's the point of getting an SBR? To have an actual telescoping/folding stock? As in like what'd you'd find on a full-size AR/AK?
>>
>>34695928
With the ATF approval to shoulder them, I don't know. To have a VFG I guess?

>To have an actual telescoping/folding stock
Brutty much, there is more to it like a vertical fore grip and some other stupid retarded stuff. It also has to do if the lower receiver (if building) or if it was originally sold as a rifle. Not really sure on all of the technicalities. I'm parting a pistol atm just going that route.
>>
>>34695928
The GHW tailhook mod 2 actually is telescopic. That's why I want it. Haven' found another one that does.

It seems more as if they mean to "accidentally" shoulder them. 922 & NFA need to go, they might have had a good chance via petitions if everyone and their mother had not made one and spread out the signatures.

I am also not a lawyer for gun rights and you should always check locally.

Yea I noticed that. I should've been more specific, I meant stocks that were purpose-built as such.

I'm an AK guy and I really want to make a krink underfolder but it looks like I'll still have to go SBR route because I can't find anything that looks as sexy on an AK pistol :(

that is brutty nice
>>
>>34696359
I like that. How does Burris compare to Vortex?
>>
>>34696434
I'd be biased as having only used Burris Products before. That being said the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24 looks comparable in specs to the Burris I linked earlier.
Some people in /arg/ have them they could give you a better answer >>34691941 they usually link their previous threads so if one is at the end Id wait til they start a new one to get the most replies and input.

My 11.5"bbl pistol clocks in at 28"overall length so it's technically in the "firearm" category. No legal issued with a VFG at that length. Still handy as fuck too. I went with the thordsen cheek rest.

I've got the PST 1-4(moa) on one of my guns. It's tits. If I was buying one today it'd probably be the 1-8 even though I don't like the reticle as well as the one on the 1-4.
>>
>>34695776
That'd be up to you. I find the glass in the 1-8x really nice and the reticle to be wicked easy to pick up a target with.

>>34695928
You can get a folding stock without a stamp now too. The LAW stock adapters, bruh.
>>
>>34698134
Well I just found one for $399 on ebay, so I'll consider it. Go to a gunshop and look through them both. So in the future, I plan on getting a ar10. I like the PA 1x8 for its reticle. Do you know how Primary Arms would compare in quality?
>>
>>34695439
Save and buy a used ACOG.
>>
>>34698291
I know those are the top of the line thing, but I prefer the capabilities of going between 1x6. Gives me some options.

>>34699264
Ok, and what's your purpose with it?
>>
>>34698270
Can't say for sure, but I've heard they're all made in the same factory. I went with Vortex for the warranty since it's no questions asked. To save a few bucks and get a different reticle, PA might be a good choice.
>>
>>34698604
>>34699264
It's pretty hard to say anon. How much magnification do you want for those ranges? Do you care about having a 1x power? I think you'll have a hard time with that price though.
3x9 scopes are popular and a lot are reasonably priced, but if you want 1x, then look into a 1x6, or 1x8 optical scope. Sorry I can't speak in specifics, as I own none yet.
>>
>>34699424
Shooting of man sized silhouette targets
And maybe some hunting
>>
>>34699579
See >>34699571

I'd go with a 1x6 or 1x8, but you may want more magnification. I've heard of a 1x10, but you may not care about 1x power.

TheTrijicon Accupoint TR24 1-4×24 on that list was advertised as less than 300$ but when I look it up all of them are over 900$ what gives
>>
>>34696964
nice
>>
>>34695439

steiner p4xi is like 480 on botach if you can stretch your budget. if not just get the vortex or one of the primary arms variables

>>34700257
The price points are above them. The trijjicon was in the 500-1000 range.

>>34695439

I just got a SIG716 for a boar hunting trip I'm going on with my dad and brothers. I have never been hunting before. I have been to the range plenty. Not sure if I need a dot scope or a magnified scope, I have a metropro lite on a tavor I have that I could just swap?

I really have no idea.
