Hello List,
I have a preban Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine with an ARMS carry handle scope mount with an Aimpoint 5000 mounted to it. As the rifle is capable of minute of angle groups at 100 yards, I've been thinking about putting a Harris bipod and Leupold scope on it.
To get around the problem of closer range shots, I thought about buying the new Leupold LPS series 1.5-6x variable power scope.
By keeping the scope on the low 1.5x setting it would seem to me that quick "snap shots" at close quarters targets would not be a problem. The higher power would come in handy for target identification at longer ranges.
As I am somewhat new to rifles, I would like some experienced input.
Are my assumptions about the Leupold scope correct?
How far is the effective range of the .223 Remington using match hollowpoints?
Thanks for the input.
