I just picked up a Primary Arms Compact 3x and I like it a lot. Got it sighted in last weekend at the range and it really is a great deal for the money. I think it was about $180 if I recall correctly. Illuminuted reticle if you want it. Nice clear glass with lots of viewing area.

I had a Nikon M-223 2-8x on there but took it off a while back to get better with my irons. I ended up mounting the M-223 on my 10/22 and getting the Compact 3x for my AR. Love it.

The advantage of a 1x at the low end is that you can shoot both eyes open just about as quickly as with iron sights (or a red dot), but a better hit rate. This is idea for close quarters.
Then by cranking the scope up to 4x, you can hit targets pretty consistently at 100 or 200 yards.
The M4 variant is unusual in its effectiveness both as a CQ weapon and a medium range rifle. The 1-4x compliments that capacity nicely.
Anyone have any experience with this one?
[h=1]AR-332 Tactical Sight 3X-32mm[/h]
I currently have an EOTech and I'm not a huge fan. Looking for something with some magnification...
Thanks, You talked me into it.... just ordered one from Optics Planet..
haha. me too!
I have the same sight. It's damn near identical to the Burris AR-332, and 120$ less than what my buddy paid for it. I haven't gotten to range with it yet, but next couple of days.
Any recommendations for a specific 1-4x?The advantage of a 1x at the low end is that you can shoot both eyes open just about as quickly as with iron sights (or a red dot), but a better hit rate. This is idea for close quarters.

For $150 you cannot do better. At 1x the reticle is like a red dot. FFP so at 4x you can see the subtensions. I just bought another. Better eye box than my 1-6 Strike Eagle.
For those with a 1-4x scope or red dot shooting out to 100-200 yds, are you able to see the bullet hole without using a spotting scope? Or are you hitting a steel plate or a 12"x12" paper target but not knowing exactly the point of impact? I don't want this to be a MOA argument like the one from a couple of weeks ago. But wanted recommendations on a smaller sized scope with good magnification, so I don't have to use a spotting scope. My 1x red dot is limited in useful range and I feel like a cheat when I crank up the bigger and heavier scopes to 10X+.
You're not going to see bullet holes at 200 through a 4x. You're possibly not going to see them at 100 either. Get a spotting scope.
Even a decent spotting scope will have trouble with 5.56 holes at 200m on the black lines. .308 is much easier to see. But we use the spotting scope for 9mm holes at 200m as well: There is just no substitute for a quality spotting scope.
It's cheaper then some of the spotting scopes I've looked at .Works great if you have the budget and are only shooting at one distance. If you go back and forth between 100-200 or more then I'm not sure how good it is. Also, how do you protect the cameras from strays and ricochets?

I love this scope.
