AR-15 Optics
The AR-15 being such a versatile firearm with so many configurations and calibers being available for the platform its possible to select the right optic for the task at hand. Fortunately most configuration of the AR-15 have either a mounting rail or removable handle making swapping optics at will a breeze without losing the zero point of the optic. The AR-15's that have the carry handle that cannot be removed there's quick change mounts that bolt to the handle as well as optics with the AR-15 carry handle mount built in.
Optic types are available for just about any purpose. For close quarters protection consideration would be given to dot or holographic sites with no or very low magnification. As target distance increases adjustable power dot or traditional reticle type optics should be considered. Its also quite possible to mount more then one optic on the weapon. A long range optic would be the primary optic while attached to that would be a doctor sight or small dot. That option would in some applications require tilting the gun at an angle to utilize the optic. For long range tactical optics an adjustable 4.5x-14x optic would be typical. For longer ranges such as target shooting at several hundred yards or varmint hunting an optic in the 24 or 32x would be appropriate. We will try to show some common examples below.
Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sights are now in use by many Armed Forces including elite Special Forces around the world. The CompM2, also known as the M68/CCO (when used by US forces), is the standard sight for the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force as well as the armed forces of many NATO countries. Due to its compatibility with all generations of night vision device (NVD), the CompM2 is ready for use around the clock. The CompM2 holds up under the roughest physical handling and can withstand the most severe weather conditions and temperatures.
In fact, Aimpoint CompM2 is completely submersible and will withstand pressures up to 2,5 atmospheres allowing it to be taken up to 25 meters underwater. When the CompM2 was initially released to the market, it became the benchmark against which all other combat optics are measured. While primary utilized by armed forces, hunters and sport shooters who want a professional grade sight can also use the CompM2.
