So if only target shooting (AR) do I really need an awesome scope?


I'm not the scope guru, but I would say it depends on what you need.

I like having a deer scope on an AR, because to me it is just a semi auto .223 that will reach out there and touch something.

I never like the non magnified red dot holograph sights, but I don't shoot close range. I know why our soldiers love them in urban settings though... so it depends on what you want to do with the gun.

nope

Most target shooting is close range with an AR. I ended up taking my scope off because tactical courses seldom have a long shot.

A good AR will group long range, but the wind will eat it alive. If you are looking to shoot longer ranges, I would beef up the cartrige.
