I've been shooting pistols for years. But, I recently picked up an AR and put a 1x RDS on it. I took it out this past week to a 330 yard range and had a great time.
I realized there that the rifle is fully capable of using that entire range, but my 55yo eyes certainly can't see much beyond 100 yds without magnification.
So, now for the first time ever I'm looking at rifle scopes, and I'm in analysis paralysis. There are so many options from even 1 manufacturer that I'm clueless how to even evaluate anything.
And, I realize that good ones are expensive, so if I make a bad pick, I'm out a fair chunk of change.
Do the folks around here that use them regularly have any kind of system to make these kind of choices?
