Im just a laymen looking for a solid scope for small game hunting and target shooting. I like both the extra light and uncapped turret features of the tactical version. However, Im not too familiar with the mil/moa setup. Would the APT be to complex for what I want to use it for? Which would you recommend for someone in my position?

The mil-dot system is very easy to learn and the beauty is that you can use like a regular scope until you play with the mil-dot.

I like the APT and mounted mine on an AR. I have a friend who put one on a rifle that is in caliber .50 BMG and has shot it many times and it has held zero and is very good for his long range shooting. Once you learn you rifle and apply the MIL to your caliber you will like it.

I have both the APT and APV ... I prefer the APT and the external adjustments. Both have very clear glass.

sorry for late reply. I would highly recommned it. this is no aimpoint, but its not too cheap or shabby. I have also heard that Primary Arms does a good red dot. You may want to check out that option. For the price you cant beat it.

I am very happy with the Tasco World Class scope. I have to admit I bought it based on the price point for the features. I also use it on a Benjamin Maurader .25 air rifle, so I am only using it for 100 yards or less. At 100 yards it is very clear and the mil dots are very useful because my air rifle drops about 6 inches at 100 yards (it is flat out to 50 yards). The optics are very clear and it has retained the zero I set about 8 months ago after many uses.I would recommend purchase of this scope without reservation.I have not used the Bushnell Trophy XLT Mil-Dot Reticle scope, so I am unable to provide a comparison for you.

One of the reasons for paying extra for the BDC is to not have to turn and either count or look at the clicks on the turrets. There is also a model with a smaller objective lens. The smaller the objective, the lower the light gathering. I set up mine with an American made Weaver look through mount set up specifically for my pre 1985 Ruger 10/22. No need for rails and sighting took one shot, and that was only to move the POI two MOA.

btw...my tasco world class3-9x40mm loses clarity with sundown or lower light. I forgot to note this point in earlier comment. it's a damn good build and buy for the money (51.99) but, more demanding purposes will require a much better scope. p.s. this would not be my combat scope on an ar15 either.

I'd pass on this unit, mine works quite well however my brother in law bought one as well as a neighbor & both of them are soo poor you honestly can't make out anything, just general shapes. However on a daytime scope, an ATN or equiv. Gen. 2 monocule works quite nicely, the problem is by the time you add the scope swing arm & Ir light you right at the price of a PS22 which is far & beyond any duel purpose monocule. If a Gen. 2 is out your budget, I'd consider a high focus spot LED gun mount with a pressure switch, it's on&off instantly. You can train & make your shot in less than 3-4 secs. Just some options....

Ron, I just bought one of these. Wondered if you found a scope, red dot, etc. that you liked. Thanks.

The P-223 is perfect for me as I rarely shoot over 100yds in hunting applications. Occasionally I do shoot out to 300yds on targets. The P-223 has great turrets with real crisp adjustments. The ProStaff that you mentioned is a good scope too so it really depends on what you are trying to do with it.

It has the typical raila that most modern scopes /lights etc...will mount on. the scope mine came with was okay...but i opted to purchase something with a bit more power. I also had it borescoped at 50yds. And the rifle in now extremely accurate. It's not a bad deal out of the box...but once you start buying better scopes...ehhh. not really. You can find better setups for the best bang for your buck. Check out Gamo and Benjamin. You'll pay more.....but you get more.

JJ350, I have a AimPoint with a magnifier on a M-4 platform, works well, but you have to swing the magnifier into place to go from 1X to 3X. I bought the Burris for 3-gun competition and is mounted on Colt 3-gun ready platform. The Burris XTR 1x4 scope comes with a holographic red dot that i mounted on top and good for close targets, for targets 50-200 meters downrange, I get into the scope and I added a speed ring for quick access from 2X to 4X. I can dial it up shooting or running. The glass is very clear and has held up very nicely so far. (6mos) Well worth the money and comes with the mount as well. You mount it, zero it, shoot it.

In my opinion it's great for close targets. Works perfect on a home defense shotgun. If you shoot at further distances past 25 yards or so very much you will like the smaller moa dot better though. Really depends on your application. Excellent product.

I believe the clarity is better. I like the quick throw lever and the scope looks better on an ar than the mtac in my opinion. Ironically i bought this scope to replace a burris mtac. As far as the main benefit goes, the ffp reticle, do your own research to determine if its the thing for you. From a tactical perspective ffp is the way to go. Bottom line, I love it, and would def recommend.

The turrets track very well. This scope seems to hold zero better than some of my more expensive scopes. Good luck

I believe the only way you can do it is to educate yourself via the Internet. First define the type of shooting you will do. Are you just shooting paper targets or will you be hunting etc? Then do your research. I prefer the mil dot reticle. The mil dot allows you to judge range, bullet drop, lead etc. Whatever you choose the scope will come with instructions as to how to use the scope and the reticle specifically.

I highly recommend the orange front sight post. I have multiple sets all in orange and it reallyJumps out at you when you are looking for fast acquisition. As to the other question point of aim is point of impact. It's is a large front sight post so your basically putting the center of the post where you want to hit.

I think that Tiki19's answer is a good one. I use my AR15 just for the enjoyment of shooting so having both options is more of a novelty for me. But it is nice to have the option available in case I need to contrast with the target.

My scope came in with the site and mount for each. Both were mounted and work very well. I have to tell you that I like the scope much betted than the holo site. I spent 4 hours training with an instructor and I use this package. Once I set it I didn't have to make any adjustments. I sent approx 600 rounds down range and was able to accurately hit a full size silhouette at 600 yards 3 times in a row. That was with an AR15 shooting 5.56.
