Just an idea. Convert your self-defense tactical AR into an all-purpose gun!

Posted: April 21, 2016, 12:01pm

We are all there: we keep our favorite AR as the “self-defense”, “tactical”, “bug out” or whatever we want to call it. To do that we felt obligated to equip it with a red-dot, a 3 or 4X ACOG or a 1-something scope. The result: it is a cool tactical unit, but in the range we cannot have fun even at 100 yards. The low power magnification prevents us to realize the accuracy potential of the gun and we proudly own the largest groups of the line L

An alternative is to use a regular scope but top it with a Trijicon RMR or Aimpoint T-1/2! With the help of the ringmounts from Nightforce or Badger Ordnance and flush rail-mounted RMRs or T-1/2s we can preserve the immediate target acquisition of a Red Dot while having a “real” scope in our ARs!

Some available accessories (left to right) Nightforce “Ruggedized Platform”, Nightforce “Multimount’, Aimpoint T-2 with rail mount Trijicon 3.25 MOA RMR with rail mount.
