What do you guys think of the Lucid HD7 atop this?

I would love a red dot on this rifle. I would prefer one with magnification though.

Lone-Wolf, i put a Vortex Strikefire on mine. Just blasted away on it, though. Accurate enough at 50m lol

The Strikefire comes with a doubler which really barely makes a difference except to reduce the field of view.

Yea, the doubler screamed gimmick to me.

Seems to be pretty normal for these rifles to require at least 30MOA in adjustment to get a 100yd zero. Thus you will likely need a scope with at least 70MOA total adjustment.

Totaly agree. I also believe that a Vortex or a Redfield would suit this rifle just fine in my opinion.

WTF does this mean?
TOTAL ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT RANGE – 30.0MRAD

I have an IOR CQB 3x on mine and love it.

TOTAL ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT RANGE – 30.0MRAD

MRAD = Milliradians (3.6" @ 100 yards)

Think of it this way... You have a circle with a radius of 100 yards, the circumference of the circle that would create is approximately 628.32 yards, or 22619.52". A milliradian, being a ratio between the length of an arc and its radius, means that there are 2000pi milliradians in a circle (1/6283 of a circle). So to get the value of a milliradian at 100 yards, you divide the circumference of the circle in inches by 6283.

22619.52"/6283=3.60"

Scopes that are graded in milliradians (like the ones available from Vortex) are often adjusted in 1/10 MRAD increments.

There are 2000π milliradians (≈ 6283.185 mrad) in a circle. So a trigonometric milliradian is just under 1⁄6283 of a circle. This “real” trigonometric unit of angular measurement of a circle is in use by telescopic sight manufacturers using (stadiametric) rangefinding in reticles. The divergence of laser beams is also usually measured in milliradians.

It's essentially an "alternative" to MOA (Minute of Angle = 1/60 of a degree, just over 1" @100 yards)

Simply put, the Mil-Dot is a range estimating reticle that was developed for military applications. The space between the dot centers subtends one milliradian (Mil). One Mil subtends 3.6" at 100 yards, or 36" at 1,000 yards.

Thanks ar180shooter, although I don't understand a lot of it.
