I'm considering this for my Kel-Tec PLR-16 with standard sights but was considering adding a 3x magnifier for shooting plates at 200yds. Suggestions?

I'm very happy with mine and close range - 25-50 yards. Laser and dot seem to hold zero well. Have not tried with a magnifier but good idea!

I still love mine. Red dot is very crisp. Scope is accurate up to about 75 yards then visibility is tough since there is no magnification. I think the 3x magnifier should be a cool add on for this scope. Not familiar with the Kel Tec but not sure if the laser would work with existing sights since laser is mounted at base of scope and might interfere with sights. Scope is nice quality and should be great for your needs

I returned the first Redfield I got because there appeared to be multiple red dots when looking through the scope. The seller sent me a second one, so I sold it before I ever opened the package. I purchased the Nikon P-223 BDC 600 Riflescope with Rapid Action Turret, Black, 4-12x40 from Amazon and am really happy with it. I've actually used it to hit plates at 200 m (at about 6X) standing without support in a competition, and it worked great on my Tavor.

It took some digging, but the optical centerline of the Redfield is 40.4 mm above the top of the picatinny rail. The UTG multiplier, also available on Amazon, is almost a perfect match at 40.0 mm. I had to search for that information and call the manufactures. It's absurd that they don't publish the only essential piece of useful data that would allow you determine the compatibility of these red dots and multipliers.

I would suggest a 4x32-40 scope. I prefer a Swiss Arms (only $28) or a Leapers ($35-45).

You would not use 10x at 20yds you would drop it to 3. Do not buy this scope! It is absolute junk! It fell apart after one mag! And its heavy for what you get. Again junk!!!!!!

To add. For around 50 bucks more you could get a LaserLyte CM-15 Center Mass Kryptonyte Laser Sight. This is made for a shotgun showing a green laser shot pattern which is supposedly pretty accurate.

No, the do not. And, despite the good reviews, I just replaced this scope with a 4-12 x 40 Nikon Prostaff. This scope did not focus well for me, nor is the target all that clear at 100yds, let alone 200. I had all kinds of trouble positioning my head to get a full field. Just didn't work for me and I would not recommend buying one. All my other rifles have Nikon scopes and I have not had a single problem with them- ever. Just my 2cs

Ron, I just bought one of these. Wondered if you found a scope, red dot, etc. that you liked. Thanks.

I think this scope would be ideal for that rifle but I would go with a higher 3x9 power for that application. At 100 yrds I find myself wanting a little more magnification than the 2x7 I bought. If you have old eyes, even more so.

I think the length may be an issue because of the short rail. You may want to consider and Eotech optic.

I have a Nikon Prostaff 3x9 BDC with it on a 6.8 AR. I wound up using a dremel to remove a little metal from between rings. The Nikon scope turrent base is fat, and it caused my crosshairs to cant right by a bit. Otherwise no issues.

I mounted that exact set-up and had good results. It depends a bit on the iron sights, but if you're using the stock sights then it should be no problem.

I have two of the Primary Arms 1-6 scopes and I really like the layout of the reticle. It gives you a lot of information in a very intuitive way. I don't find that the clarity is lacking at all as far out as I've taken shots with mine so far. I have a shoot coming up this weekend with targets out to 480 yds, so I will get a real test of the scope with those. But I would recommend it from my experience so far.

I think so the magnifier sits a little high but I think yours will just be fine since yours does too but the only problem I ran into is space the magnifier takes up a lot of room on the top rail I imagine you would run into an issue depending on the gun it will be mounted on

Also I think you can look up bdc conversions on Google. Its a great scope for the money. I've owned quite a few rifle and scope setups and this one on my tikka t3 has been my favorite and most useful across the board so far. Haven't found a use for the illuminated reticle yet but its cool to have.

Purchased by husband who uses scope for competing in 22RF tactical matches. Being that he is older and eyes aren't as good as a young persons he chose to put a slap to the side 3x magnifier behind it. Which he uses for target 50 yds and beyound. Where the scope shines is in the CQB portions of matches. The magnifier when slap to the left side doesn't interfere with acquiring a quick sight picture and is readily available when needed.

Thanks for the quick reply. BTW, would you recommend the Ameriglo sights you purchased, or another manufacturer?

If it wiggles a mm it becomes useless. I have one mounted but just use it to sight in long distant iron sight shots. I've bought two different versions of these; both needed heavy dremmeling. I'd say try a side mount that screws into your stock

For the money go with an EoTech. I returned my MEPROLIGHT because the mounting didn't feel solid, even after adjustment. Maybe I got a bad one who knows. I already spent the money to swapped it out for a Aimpoint T1 micro and haven't looked back since. But to answer your question, I felt it sat to high on the rail.
