Optics for M96

[yukoncoyote]

What do you guys think for an optic for an M96, Aimpoint Comp M3 or an Elcan Spectre?

 

[C9-Gunner]

I'm surprised you even thought of Aimpoint haha

I would mount a good 6-24x scope instead.

No one's said S+B short dot yet?

Acog?

Kinda leaning towards an Elcan.

Between the two, I'd go with the Elcan

The Elcan is a very bulky scope on an M96, it really messes with the balance especially side to side given the height required...I used one like that for about a year or so and it proved cumbersome...

Gonna try a Trijicon Tripower. A deal came along I couldn't resist. Would've liked some magnification though.

look up some reviews on that one, its overpriced for what it does. Go aimpoint for half the money.

Yep. If you go with an ML2 or even a new ML3, it may be more, but completely worth it.

The batteries don't last very long at all on the Tripower, and for what it does, it just barely fixes the "washout" problem.


Aimpoints (especially the new ones) have extremely long battery life, and can do outdoor shooting no problem. They are EXTREMELY bright!

With that said, something like a Leupold 1.5-5 might be a little bit better for that M96, since thats a lot of rifle for just a red-dot.

Aimpoint T1. They are gold on the Robarm M96, if that is what you talking about.

Elcan M145 on my PE 90 works great. Agreed it might make a plastic rifle feel top heavy but on the steel PE 90 its a great partner.
