Titanium416 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Medium range engagements= Trijicon ACOG 4X Short range= EOTech holosights/Aimpoint M2/M3 For airsoft and real steel. Milla is right on with his comment on optics usage for Mil/LE and home defense. M0ar pics! Waiting on you to lead the way Hispeed how about those Hi-res... Best optic I've used for airsoft is the NcStar The NcStar compact Mark III Tactical scope has great eye relief . In 2-7x32 its great on the snap shot and when you need a clearer picture in distance circumstances. It's just as fast as my fakotech 552 but I have a much better chance of archiving a hit with the 2x view. You can keep both eyes open while using it keeping your perphials and its VERY acurate as well. I use 3.5x view when I need a high acuracy from the 100'-150' mark where the BB's trajectory is still relatively flat. Edited November 18, 2008 by Titanium416 Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 ive only shot at moving targets with irons (i was issued an A2) so i cant really comment... i just led them 1-2 person widths at 200 yards but what i will say is that i much prefer the eotech over the aimpoint for one reason: field of view. the aimpoint is tubular, which makes it in my opinion, slower and harder to use (very slightly though) i love the view on the eotech because its right there, and ready for you. no lining up at all. just one lens. i have a bushnell holosight on my 16" socom16, and i love it; i also have the best of both worlds because i have the dot version, not the donut. so for me, thats perfect. and on the perfect rifle -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky2129 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) i much prefer the eotech over the aimpoint for one reason: field of view. the aimpoint is tubular, which makes it in my opinion, slower and harder to use (very slightly though) If you are shooting as you should be with a RDS (that is, both eyes open) then there should be little to no obstructions at all. You should see your target, and superimposed over him you should see a dot (or in the case of the EOTech, the A65 Reticle) Folks claimed the same with the Aimpoint Micro T-1, saying that they felt they were experiencing "tunnel-vision" when using it, due to the small objective lens. This is operator error, unless you have some sort of astigmatism that forces you to close one of your eyes when shooting with an RDS (which does and has happened.) EDIT*** But as usual, chose what works for you. I sipped the EOTech Kool-Aid back in the day too... Picture Thread: Edited November 18, 2008 by Sparky2129 Link to post Share on other sites

N3M3SIS Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hi, this is my M4. standard apart from the front retaining ring. I modded this and removed the fixed sights from the gun. sorry about the poor quality pics, only get a camera phone to take them! Link to post Share on other sites
N3M3SIS Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 the only other thing ive done with this m4 is the silencer. used the internals of a vsr10 g-spec suppressor! Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 All this scope/optics discussion is good. There are a lot of general tips for what to use when. But in the end-use what works for you regardless of what latest/greatest thing you see on real steel pics. I'll shoot some pics of my updated M4/AR's soon... @Cryozen: great first post, welcome to the thread and I predict that you will be tinkering with your M4 soon... That's how we all started out (twitch-twitch). May I also suggest a higher mount for your replica Aimpoint red dot? You should be able to get a lower 1/3 co-witness with your front iron sight with that. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites

And a mount of some sort is on route as well. I should also mention it is a GR16 Carbine Plastica. For 170 USD, I could not have asked for a more impressive ROF.

Mr Foxhound Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) How do you guys go about hideing a PEQ Batterys wire?

She needs some gearbox loving, a reshim and relube, and a new hop up unit....
