The ACOG is 6x with a BDC for 7.62... it's also $3K. The ELCAN also has a 7.62 BDC and is $2K. The S&B is $2700. Prices are pretty even.

The ACOG is so sick (plus it doesn't require batteries for the main scope). I'm leaning that way, but $3K is tough pill to swallow when I'm trying to finish my garage, pay for my baby, etc. I'll probably just do it and work some extra time overseas....

Thanks for the input!

My SBR with the can and tax stamps will be around $2K without glass. I will most likely end up going with an EoTech, or a low-powered Leupold tac-sight.

ACOG seems amazing but I have no real experience. You peaked my interest so I just googled a bunch. Either way make sure you post finished pics.

Yeah, I think I'm going with the ACOG. I found it a couple places for $2200. Thanks everyone.
