Question: Do I need rings AND a riser for my M&P 15 Tactical, to raise it up to 1.5"? I'm confused (most of the time).
Document: I bought this scope because it has 80 clicks of elevation and 80 clicks of windage. The only other scope (that I foud out later) in this this price range that allows that much adjustment in a 1 inch tube is the ProStaff, but it is bigger and more expensive. Anyway the Redfield was installed on an old Swede 6.5 x 55 sporterized that Bubba had jacked up the mounts so I had to mount high with the mounts that were on the gun.
I recently purchased a Nikon M223 1-4x20 Scope for my Ruger Mini 14. The brass was ejecting and hitting the windage turret hard enough that it broke the turret. It's on its way back to Nikon for repair and will probably be used on an AR that I'm currently building.Anyway, that's neither here nor there, but thought I'd share it so you'd know where I'm coming from with optics.
They're a little finicky to get installed, but once they're on the gun and cinched down where they're supposed to be, they work excellently. So far, I'm really pleased with this scope. The only thing that I'm not sure of is the eye relief. There's plenty of it, but the window is narrow. Subtle movement, especially at the 5-7x range gives vignetting rather easily.
Good enough that I could shoot with sunglasses or protective glasses and not have them anywhere near the rear of the optic. However, the scope is not very forgiving in the vignetting department. What I think are subtle movements cause it to vignette, more so at the longer end (5-7x). Is this a deal breaker? Not on a scope that I've got $100 in. Does it make me want something else? Not really.
The 2-7x34 fit perfectly and was quickly sighted in without issue. I have found that, for me (I am a very tall fellow), some scopes are rather hard to get the full view through the optics, but this one set up right the first time. I appreciate that removal of the headache.
Subtle, clean, unobtrusive. I'm not against branding on my firearms, but I try not to be flashy with it.I'll update this in a few days when I've had a chance to sight it in and get some rounds through the gun with the optic mounted.Stay tuned...***********UPDATE***********I got the scope mounted to the gun.
I was only out to about 50 yards or so, but it was enough for me to get a good idea on the scope and how it would perform. In a couple of days I'll get it out to the range and take her out to 100 yards, although I'm not planning on shooting at that distance very often.I think the scope looks good and, perhaps more importantly, feels good on the gun. It balances nicely and is not overly large or top-heavy.
This scope is a super value for the money spent on it. Glass is crisp and clear and the sight picture is very nice. Even in low light, this scope performs well. I put it on my AR with grand slam ring mounts and couldn't be happier. Zeroing the scope was easy and has a large range of adjustment. My family has a long history with using Redfield scopes and I'm happy to see they have come through one again with this product.
I'll put it on the rifle and get it on a rest to really take a good look through it, but so far, I'm impressed.One thing I really like about the optic (that others may find trivial) is the branding on it. It's subtle and not flashy at all. No chrome or gold or anything weird. There is one logo on the left side of the tube (opposite the windage turret). It's recessed slightly and very small. It's red with black lettering.
Looking through the optic inside the house, it seems clear, bright and sharp. Mounted in the medium height rings, the scope clears the rear sight of the Mini easily and the bell of the front objective clears the plastic guard on top of the barrel with just a little room to spare. In my opinion, it looks nice on the rifle and fits it well in both size and finish.I'll get back on this after I have a chance to get it out at the range.
Answer: no
