Seems the 3x has better reviews, how well is the x5 at 100 yards or should I go with x3? Shooting a ar 15.

I have problems with my 5x. if your looking at 100 yards I recommend the 7x HOWEVER!!!! BE WARNED my sightmark 5x slide to the side magnifier DOES NOT align with my sightmark reflex sight. This is a common complaint that I have discussed with other owners. Try your luck if you wish but I recommend you buy from a different company.

I wouldn't spend the money. The glass is very hazy. I find it easier to shoot with iron sights. I don't use mine. Save for a better brand or get a real scope.

I have this and if you do not have the pro sightmark recticle, it will be blury and or have a double image. It is frustrating at best. For someting that you want to be accurate at 100 yds, go with a decent scope like a Nikon 4.5-14 x 40 BDC and you will be extremly glad you did. I'm 56 and it is hard for the old eyes to see a 22 size hole in a target at a distance. This is my best sugestion. The red dot recticle is great for close proximity shooting, not so much for longer shooting, Target, etc.

I'm shooting at a 100 yard outdoor range, so it's not a problem for me at that distance. Can't vouch for beyond that. Most shooters I know use a scope for beyond 100 yards, and a red-dot like Lucid's HD7 for CQC and less than 100 yard engagements.

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.

Well it depends how far are you shooting in my neck of the woods. 3x9 is fine. I like 3x9 I leave Lt on 3 while walking in just in case I jump something.On 3 I can focus quickly on a target . The only time I adjust higher is when sitting once I spot something or when target shooting. I normally target shoot 50- 200 yards with no problem with 3x9 either way its a wonderful scope you be happy.

Crossman premier dome hollow point shot very well in mine. Plus they are cheap and readily available. Have put down a rabbit and squirrel thus far with good results. Both were about 25 yard shots.

A friend of mine has gotten three bucks in the past year with his barnett. Once sighted in the crossbow was very accurate. I use mine for competition and protection

I bought one for the wife and was surprised that it is plenty strong enough (I have to pull it back for her). My compound is set at 65# and it easily shoots as strong as that. The arrows are cheap (buy some carbons). I couldn't tweak it in with the peep sights so i put the scope on (it was a little difficult) and it shoots fine. All in all plenty of power and well worth the price. I would suggest a puller as it cocks the string evenly.

I have the Buris 5x with the Burris Fastfire II mounted on top. This is a great combination on my Colt M4. I tried the Burris 3x but found the it a bit too little magnification at 100 yards and too much at close range. With the 5x and the red dot you are covered from close range to 100 plus.

To sight in your rifle I suggest using a bench at your local rifle range. The Primos tri pod should have no problem with the AR 15 depending on the add on you may have on the fore end. Last for long range yes the more stable a shooter is the better more so the longer the range. Hope this helps Mr. Rabbit and good shooting.

I have not used it for any 3 gun matches but I have used it from very close to past 100 yards. It's a great scope for the money. There are many better, but it's going to cost you a fair bit more.

The rocker is great. I had 2 HMC150's and two GL2's before that...the XA20 probably the best zoom of the 3. I don't adjust it personally. I leave the main rocker at variable and the top at fast.

I think that Tiki19's answer is a good one. I use my AR15 just for the enjoyment of shooting so having both options is more of a novelty for me. But it is nice to have the option available in case I need to contrast with the target.

I don't have experience with the others, but I can see the holes in my target at 100 yds easily. It also holds a good zero, and I am getting 1/2 to 1" groups with my 24" heavy barreled AR at 100 yds.

I'm not sure but I believe both have triangle "dots". 3.5 will shoot approx 3.5 inch groups at 100 yards. 7.5 will shoot approx 7.5 inch groups at 100 yards. I put this red dot on a pistol so I went with the 7.5 because I'm only shooting to 50 yards at the max which would hold a 3.75 inch group if I could even shoot that well. The way I see it, get the 7.5 for pistol or shotgun, the 3.5 for a rifle.

Personal choice on the AR-15, depends on the situation. I would want a true front rest and back rest if I were zeroing a gun. It would be good for the longer shots mountain hunting offers.

I have owned about 5 here and there and It seemed to me the internal parts seem to give out after about 3 months. The x-five is just to me the same but little higher mag wells and sights.

I have no experience with the x3. but considering the cost and bulkyness I probably would go for the x2 which I have and thoroughly enjoy and like. Go and check out reviews for the x3 and determine what you want.
