GBBRs and optics

[DanBow]

Not sure what I'm going to put on my gbbr, when it arrives, but is recoil an issue? Do I need real steel optics?

I've got a couple of replica 552s and replica T2 on some of my GBBR's . They all work fine and hold zero .

I don't use mine often but got into the habit of checking any body screws etc as I clean after a game, they can work loose occasionally.

I tend to get aliexpress optics a lot in the sort of mid range and Ive not yet had one damaged by being run on a gbbr but that is obviously partly good luck in the qc lottery. The only optic ive had trouble with was an old cmore like this which lost zero a lot and the battery bounced out of place. All of the others I have used have far more solid mounting solutions.

It also depends a lot on the gun. Id feel fairly happy mounting nearly anything on my tokyo marui gbbrs as they have fairly soft impulses overall but Id go for something a bit more solid on my vfc's

You can pick up second hand vortex strikefire II dot sights quite cheap, the warranty is well worth it as it covers it getting shot out
