Optic for 2 and 3 gun competition?

[bryanbag]

I hope this is the right section.

As the title say, I'm getting ready to looking into optic for 2 and 3 gun competition.
There is just so much to choose from. I just can't figure out where to start, so I figure I would check with the local LA, MS, etc guys.

I have reciently bought a Daniel Defence Rifle and I am wanting to get in to 2 and 3 gun competition (well 2 gun for now - since I don't have a shotgun at this time, sold the one I had)
I know different distances play apart in which optic to go with
I don't know the average distances use here in south La. for these types of competition. So I don't know which optic to go with Scope, Red Dot or anything between. What are most of you using for your optics? I just trying to get info at this time so I will know where to start when I do get around to buying optic for my rifle.


Thanks
Bryan

First there are no 3 gun matches in south Louisiana. Poplarville, MS is the closest match and they shoot rifles from 5 to 500 yards.

Depends on what class you want to shoot in and what kind of budget you are working with. If money isn't an issue, Leopold is always a good investment. Vortex is good too, slightly less expensive. I use a Burris MTAC that was pretty reasonable when I caught it on sale and it fills my needs so far.

Any good 1-4 power will be all you need, more power is nice but not needed, I have a 1-4 and a 2.5-10, I like the 1-4 better, I'm thinking about selling the 2.5-10 to fund another 1-4

You need to talk to me

Bryanbag, the first thing you need to do is decide on a budget....all else will follow.

I looking in the $300 to $400 range for optics and mount.
I know I don't want to go the cheap out on optics when setting thigs up, knowing I will have to upgrade later on. I would rather get something that is more the middle of the road to get me started and if I get to a point where I need something better than midrange. Will cross that bridge when and if I get to that point.

In the thread in the link Scooter has above, he talks about the Millet. That probably falls in your budget and seems a good way to go.

Good luck.

Thanks for all the info guys. Keep it coming.
I was able to put my hands on a couple of different optics this past weekend. Right now I leaning towards the Burris MTAC. Price is right and I likeing the way the cross hairs set up is laid out.

Be careful looking at low power variables....some 1x scopes are not tru 1x. Some folks dont care, but the 1.2 or whatever bugs the heck out of me.
