I have finally settled on a Optics package for my AR uppers:D

Just picked up a Bushnell 6500 Tactical 2.5x16x44mm Mil-dot in a Burris PEPR mount for my precision upper and have mounted a Bushnell TRS-25 dot sight at 45 degrees off the main scope tube(Millet 30mm acc rail ring). I think with the 2.5x and an extra dot sight I can still retain some close up use with the longer upper as well as a long range zoom for the reach of the .223.

My 11.5 upper sports a EOTec on a Larue 110 mount with a Arms BUIS and a light/laser offset on the front handguard. Light and very fast and I do have a 3x on a twist off mount if I need a bit of zoom.

Had just finished selling my 4200 Tactical to get some of the funds needed for the 6500T and was at Wholesale Supply on St James. They were nice enough to have one in stock ready to go and even matched the price of an online competitor to save me from waiting a week to get one through an online deal. A big thanks to the guys there:D Even had some FGMM ammo too:eek: Nice to have a store like that in your back yard! I am finally happy with my Optics selection and just wanted to share...Any hints or comments would be great!

Looks good. Very versatile setup with that range of magnification and a red dot too.

I was thinking this scope gave me the best of both worlds with a small 2.5x for the closer stuff and a full 16x to see as far as the 223 will reach. The lower magnification makes it way better suited than the 6x24x50 that I had on it before. The 2.5x seems to be a way better option:cool:

The off-set dot sight will give me a fast second option for the really close stuff or for when the scope is dialed up too much and seconds count.:ar15:
 
Excellent scope choice. Judging by the red-dot you must be a fellow lefty. I bought the 50mm objective version of your scope. Perfect magnification range in my opinion.
 
Where did you manage to get a Burris PEPR mount in Canada? I've looked everywhere and not been able to locate one. I even phoned Burris and they would not ship me one. Oh, and how much?

P & D Ent (see above^) would the dealer that had it in stock when I need one:D A whole thread was on this subject- http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=453214

JasonS- I am a right handed shooter. I look over/past the scope to see the dot sight. I tend to tilt the rifle to the left when doing this;). I wish they offered the 50mm with the target turrets! A very nice scope regardless:D
