Bought a BCM MK 12 AR for Christmas and I'm looking to put a 1-6x or 8x scope on it. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to go with but I had some questions on it as well as looking for opinions.
Specs of the rifle here.
Being my first variable power scope, I'm not looking at spending a "ton" of money on a scope but not wanting to buy junk either. My thought is that the money I don't spend on a scope now, I can spend on ammo and range time until I get better, more comfortable, and more willing to spend money on better quality glass.
So I'm looking at this 1-6x Primary Arms scopes. I have a fixed power PA scope with the same reticle on my 10/22 so I'm comfortable with it. I though about getting the -8x scope, but at over $100 more, I thought better of it since it's going against my cheaper to start theme.
I've heard a lot of good things about this scope. Anyone else ever play around with it? Any other suggestions on a different scope with similar specs and price range I should look at?
Also looking at suggestion for scope mounts and of the ones that are offered by PA on the link above. Of the scope mounts offered by PA what would you go with? And looking at the American Defense mounts, what's the difference between the regular and Extended mounts? Is that just eye relief? With all the top rail space I have, does this even matter? And I see that the Recon has an extra cantilever throw compared to the Scout. I'm guessing that makes for a more secure mount?
Thanks for any opinions provided. And I have to include a gratuitous picture f the new rifle.
