Newb question: my ar has no sights whatsoever. I want to to shoot at both close range and long rang targets 100 yards. will this get it done?

BLUF: No.This device is simply a magnifier. It has no crosshair, and is supposed to be used in conjunction with other optics, such as a holographic or reflex sight. You'll need to get a low profile riser to use any sights with this device, as it sits a little high and does not provide for any adjustment. I tried to pair this with a Sightmark Ultra Shot sight, and I couldn't see the majority of it.

Yes sir, yes it will but you will need a sight with it . I think this is a good set up for what your looking for as apposed to a fixed power ACOG. There are great 1-6 magnification scopes out there but they are spend or junk. Here is a link to one sightmark model that mounts in front of the fixed power slide to side. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004TDIDW6?cache=a28c79c95ace8e49fb1e32b7dfcdf635π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1414472784&sr;=8-2#ref=mp_s_a_1_2 Yes sir, yes it will but you will need a sight with it .

Hi, reflex sights in general are mostly used for fast short to mid range target acquisition and i belive the smalest reticle for this sight ia 3 moa. At 50 yards the reticle covers a 1.5 inch circle at a 100 yards it covers a 3 inch circle thats what 3 MOA means. I only explain this to to show for instance if you were looking at a target at 300 yards the reticle would cover a 9 inch circle so depending on your purpose such as hunting, target shooting or zombies. Back to your question, you can sight in at 50 yards and depending on the zombie tranquilizer you are mounting it on, such as caliber, ammo load, barrel length balistics for instance a .223 caliber sighted at 50 yards would shoot high at 100 yards. A 12 gauge shotgun sighted in at 50 yards would shoot low at 100 yards. I'm sorry if this sounds confusing, it's probably my writing skills and my confused mind as well. In short if you give a bit more information on what you are looking to mount it on and caliber i cand give you a better answer. By the way it's a great sight for anything short of crazy comando ninja throw your weapon around as a grappling hook tactics.

I think it can handle 308 at 100 yards...but I would not use it for that far away. The tab on the target is approximately 6 inches and would be very difficult to hit at that distance. Also I find that when I do use the target it never lands with a tab facing me. I have to rotate about 45 degrees each time I hit it to get another shot. The reset would be very frustrating at 100 yards having to walk out after each shot to reset the target.

I mounted standard flip up iron sights in my AR. You can see the sights great right through the multi dot. Don't know why the reticle on top or a later on the side wouldn't work also. Very versital!

This device will bore sight a scope so you can hit the target at 50 yds. Typically, It gets me within 10 inches of point of aim first shot. It optimally works for a center of bore to center of the objective lens distance of 1 1/2 inches. Long distance sighting is up to the shooter after you align the scope by firing and adjusting the point of aim to zero it at whatever range you wish to use as your zero. The grid has nothing to do with trajectory, it just helps boresight the scope right after it is mounted.

No, short answer. Longer answer, it could depend on the target color, and your rifle scope magnification. 50 yards is a much better possibility, and at 25 yards it can most likely be useful, even with the unaided eye.

I haven't shot that but it's designed for rifles with long magazines. I believe I watched guys on YouTube shooting the ar's no problem. I highly recommend this product. I researched it quite a bit and I'm glad I bought it. Well worth the $$$.

Try, http://www.rawilson.net/shareware/BoreScope/ The software does not allow you to make a target for a 100yd zero on an AR. I had to use the website to get a 2 1/2" sight height for 100yd (standard L.E. distance) bullet does not rise above line of sight. Good for close in work. As for the mac I can't ans. that I have a PC.

No harm in trying it with the front sight post - if you crank it up to 4x (or slightly less?), you shouldn't see the front sight post. I don't know at what lower power the post will appear (as anything other than a blurb), but I'd think you could adjust it @ 1x etc. (where you'll be using it as a red dot) to rest just over the front sight? Mine currently resides on a 22AR, which happens to be the first AR type rifle I've had without a fixed front sight post. I have an ACOG (4x) and the front sight post doesn't bother me a bit looking through it - the front sight post is almost translucent when looking thru the scope - I'd actually have to look for it in order to know it's there @ 4x.

I had it zeroed with the stock sights. With the new sight installed in a neutral position, I got it to mark on paper at 25 yards, adjusted it to bullseye, then did the same at 50 and 100 yards. I consider an iron sight rifle a 70 yard gun, so I did not try beyond 100 yards. With just a little "Kentucky windage" it is not to hard to get a rifle to mark a newspaper size sheet at 25 yards. If you have trouble, try 25 feet. You could use a bore scope if you have access to one, but I didn't so I used the above method.

Yes and no, it will depend on how far is the target as the red dot is not really visible during sunlight. I am in TX and we get A LOT of sunlight, so not very useful for me. In the best condition, I think it would be good for 50 yards. The boresight only helps you sight it in, so that it will be closer to the intended target. I don't really recommend it.

By raising the scope you can use a lower power scope, which will allow you to use at short range and still be able to have your iron sights as backup. I would talk to others and maybe take a look at their comments.

IDK! Only shoot about 100 yards at the most at the range I go to. But at 100 yards you can see them. We just go and tape them over and continue shooting!

If you want to shoot over 100 yard. This is not the right one. spend some more money for Nikon scope. The scope you've asked is hard for to find target. I owned one but I regret for to buy it and left it there for awhile not sight in. That's why I can't return. Money is matter with scope the more you pay the best you'll get. And remember your is .308 this the one for yours.

It will focus out to as far as you can see. From 10yards to "infinity" but yeah few hundred yards is more like it. Unless you are putting it on a high power PCP Air gun then its really too much scope.

Absolutely. Put some blue locktite on them and tighten with the biggest screwdriver you can find. They've been rock solid on my AR 10 for almost 1000 rounds so far with no adjustment. And coincidentally the sights were dead on out of the box. No sighting in at all.

Yes, we have two ARs at our local club equipped with the sight and the SightMark magnifiers...one with the 3X and one with the 5X. These have proven accurate out to 100 yards.
