Just obtained this and am looking at getting a scope and bipod. Any suggestions welcomed.
I am looking to use only for range at 50 and 100 yards. Was thinking about getting a red dot but opted for a scope instead. Perhaps will get a different AR eventually for home defense only or get a semi cheap red dot to swap out when AR is not in use. Choices, choices, choices.
I have seen Cabela's own AR scope https://www.cabelas.com/product/hun...0/cabelas-ar-rifle-scope/2339055.uts?slotId=6
I have this on the Savage 12FV https://www.cabelas.com/product/VORTEX-DIAMONDBACK-TACTICAL-RIFLESCOPES/2494697.uts?slotId=1 (4-12x40).
As far as what I am willing to spend, $300. Not sure if there are other scopes under that price that is descent/acceptable or have to look at something a bit better above $300.
For bipod have been contemplating whether if a bipod is a good choice or just stick to shooting rest. I have shot AR with https://www.amazon.com/Caldwell-Dea...640768&sr=1-4&keywords=caldwell+shooting+rest and have found it to be annoying due to the magazine. Do catch myself having to adjust once in a while.
Thanks in advance for the help.
This is my first AR. Trying to maintain myself from going over board on accessories, lol.
