Ok now I’m јυѕt saying іf уου lіkе іt better thаt way thеn іtѕ уουr business, аnd аll thе power tο уου. It’s јυѕt thаt I wіll gο tο thе range аnd I see thеѕе ARs wіth scopes more expensive thаn thе gun. It јυѕt kind οf dumbfounds mе. If уου want tο dο long range target shooting, whу nοt gеt something mаdе fοr thаt? Lіkе a bolt action rifle οr something іn thаt nature. I feel lіkе аn AR wουld bе more fun wіth open sights, οr maybe аn acog scope. I mean іf уου already hаνе аn AR, fοr a thousand dollar scope уου сουld gеt a 30-06(οr something lіkе іt) wіth a nice scope οn іt fοr thе same price. Thаt way уου сουld hаνе two very nice firearms. Don’t gеt mе wrοng someday I wουld lіkе tο bυу аn AR15, I јυѕt don’t really understand thаt.
mу bаd forget thе acog. I didn’t know thеу wеrе thаt expensive

Which do you prefer shooting your enemy at say 20ft or 2000 feet away from you. With some skilled shooters they can take out a target up to 2,430 metres away. Scopes allow folks to develop that skill to it’s fullest.

Well, you said get an Acog. . . Those cost more than most ARs, so. . . that’s a bit hypocritical to your rant. People like AR’s because they are light, fast, accurate, have no recoil, and cheap to shoot. They can spend their money on whatever they want.
I agree that if you want to shoot for groups at long range, you need a quality . 308 or larger bolt action.
It is not at all uncommon to see a scope on a rifle that costs a fraction of the price. ARs are among the more expensive rifles out there (not because they’re expensive to make, mind you; just because of demand).
Most people spend more than they should on CQB sights like the ACOG. Most of the price tag of those systems is the result of mil-spec testing and certifications, and I’ve never seen anyone treat their EOTech or ACOG like a weapon. They usually treat it like a prized family heirloom. They’d do just as well with a cheap BSA from a discount store.
However, I’m a believer in buying good name-brand stuff, so I don’t hold it against anyone.
Most of the people at the range that have all the scopes, lasers and flashlights on their weapon have never been in the military and had to lug around all the extra weight all day.
The AR-15 is the Harley-Davidson of the weapons world, there are so many accessories available it is mind-boggling.

That’s the beauty of a flat top. You can put whatever you want on it.
What I don’t get is how people buy a $1000-$2000 rifle and put a $40 POS optic on it.
Iron sights are kind of glamorous, but they pain is that to you any focus on the front sight to shoot accurately. Same thing with any kid of iron sights. You can shoot very accurately with iron sights, but it takes a lot more skill and practice.
Optics let you focus on the target. A quality red dot just seems like a lot of fun.
AR’s are a LOT of fun.
