What the hell do i do with this thing?

[paliknight]

I made an impulse buy during black friday from cabelas. obviously its a rifle scope, but im not well versed with these types of scopes. im only familiar with red dots and holographic sights. can this be mounted on my SCAR-17 and what would be the best use/s for it? Thank you all for the help.

you will need a base mount with ring for the SCAR 17 and BAAAAAM. Scoped Scar

ADM SSR DELTA looks like it will be high enough for the scope to clear the rear sight.
I'm sure you can find others

i got some of these but that was an impulse buy too lol. I dont know if theyre any good or if they would clear the factory sights.

lmao yeah but what in the world should it primarily be used for? short range hunting, medium range, target practice?

I use a Nikon 3-9x 40 Lustre for deer and coyote hunting. Not for distance or target. I use Nikon Monarch 6.5-20x50 on my longer range guns.
Nikons are well built, very clear and hold zero.
Thats good enough for me

Have one on my coyote rifle. Does a great job.

A 3x9 scope works great with a rim fire rifle. Figure out your bullet drop and correlation to the BDC and keep it on a 3x5 card with the rifle.

Or get a quick release mount for rail and have it as a back up to irons. I use a larger scope on a railed upper for coyotes.

3x9 has a wide range of applications and for the dime the Nikon is a decent inexpensive piece of glass. Not a good choice for a pistol-it needs a longer eye relief.


I was concerned about the AR front sight interfering with the sight picture but it's a non-issue.
