Which Optic

Shooting 0-200yds on a Noveske Afghan with Sully stock. Requirements are: light enough for offhand shooting, clear glass, simple, fairly fast and simple reticle that is also capable of semi-precision up to 200 yds. I have 2 Aimpoints so it doesn’t need to compete with an rds and doesn’t need to be super precise. No more than $1400 with mount. NF 1-4, NF 2.5-10X24, NF 2.5-10X32, Leupy 1.5 MK4, TA33 or TA 11?

for 0-200 yards, Id go with the NF 1-4

The 1.5-5 Mk 4 MR/T is very clear and allows precision shooting considerably further than 200. I’ve used one with good results out to 500M on an 18" targets (even tried it at 700M, but we won’t go there). :frowning: :smiley:

The Vortex 1-4 PST is a possible, but it won’t be available until around June.

I went with a NF 2.5-10x32 for a SPR-ish build I’m doing, but it might be overkill for 200 Yds and under - or maybe not if you’re shooting small targets.

All good choices. I always go with Aimpoints and ACOG’s on guns I have to depend my life on. Of the current crop the TA-33 is the best.

The trij accupoints are righteous.

From 0 to 200 you dont need a magnified optic, its just not worth the weight at that close of a range. I would go with a quality red dot. But if I had to choose for you list, TA33. FMJs-of-Freedom

I have 2 T1s already. Wanted something different. Is there something NOT on my list you’d suggest?

Aimpoint M4s

I have 2 T1s and want some magnification. It doesn’t have to be my go to optic as the T1s fill that role. I don’t think a 3rd Aimpoint is the answer but I wouldn’t mind trying the M4s someday.

I’d go with the NF 1-4X if you think you’ll not be shooting more than 600yds; also depends upon your vision.

6933, My local range goes to 200 and has a 100 and a bunch of 25 yd pits as well. Its where I do most of my shooting. I could stretch it to 300 at a range 30 minutes away. I have my eye on a NF 1-4 with NP1 in a Larue SPR-EER (I shoot NTCH using a Sully stock). I am so close to buying but was wondering about my other options.
Thanks for your answers.

Have you looked at the trijicon accupoints?

Had one once, barely got to use it. I needed cash and sold it. Seemed very nice. I guess I’m leaning more toward a traditional reticle for more accurate shootind with illumination for when the sun goes down a little. Are you loving the TR24? Why would you choose it over the 1-4 NF with NP1

I don’t have experience with other 1-4x optics so I can’t speak comparatively, but I’ve been very happy with my Trijicon Accupoint for 0~300 yards. At 1x it’s almost as fast as my H-1. At 4x, the 200 and 300 yard targets are just a lot easier to pinpoint. At those distances, I’m not missing a BDC.

I have it on a 16" DDM4.

Don’t own one personally. Buddy has one. Nice glass. Seemed the reticule was hard to find fast but the scope was mounted a little far forward. Anyone else have eye relief issues?

Are you talking about the TR24 or the NF 1-4?

Tr24.

Was it crosshairs and a dot (TR24-3G) or posts and a triangle (TR24-G)? I’ve heard the crosshair model can be hard to pick up fast but there’s no way the triangle is slow.

I shoulda worded differently. It is the triangle. The reticle itself isn’t hard to pick up, it’s finding the sweet spot with the eye relief that takes time. May have been the way it was mounted.

It’s got a mile of eye relief and has to sit far forward. If you are a ntch shooter you’ll need an extended mount.
