Supporters Lozart Posted March 25, 2015 Supporters Posted March 25, 2015 Been looking at scopes for my new M14 EBR but big proper sniper scopes seem a bit overkill so I have been looking at Visionking Short Dot types. Can anyone recommend alternatives? Are the TAC Vector ones any good? Looking for something reasonably low magnification because let's face it, this is airsoft not The Deerhunter.
BrightCandle Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I have another 2 scopes that might be worth looking into: - Red wolf airsofts fibre optic 1-4x - The Bushnell banner dawn and dusk (about £110 on amazon). I was looking for a short dot, in the end went with the Bushnell and have found getting a flash hider for it near impossible but the sight is really clear. On high magnification the sweet spot is a tad too small IMO but on 1.1x or so its got great eye relief. Lozart 1
Supporters Lozart Posted March 26, 2015 Author Supporters Posted March 26, 2015 Cheers for that. Only looking for low end of the magnification and eye relief is more of an issue than high magnification!
BrightCandle Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I personally have found 3x about the sweet spot for my AEG for spotting BBs and where they are landing. But with a sniper you might find a bit more is useful as you'll be looking about twice as far. Lozart 1
Supporters Lozart Posted March 26, 2015 Author Supporters Posted March 26, 2015 At the moment I'll be running it as a standard AEG. I do hope to DMR it at some point though but not out and out sniper levels!
ikarma70 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Why not go for a decent 80's or 90's scope? They generally have superb optics, the reticle is etched into the glass and you can pick them up cheap. I bought an ASI 4x40 super scope for £15 and a 90's tasco 2-7x32 for a tenner!

Supporters Lozart Posted April 5, 2015 Author Supporters Posted April 5, 2015 Yay! Bit of a result. Found a site selling a copy of the sage rail for $99 a a good buddy in the US that has agreed to forward it for me!
Supporters jcheeseright Posted April 5, 2015 Supporters Posted April 5, 2015 Vision king short dots are pretty awesome, for the price I don't think there's a better option. Lozart 1
