HELP! Optics problem...

[EJAIII]

If anyone can possibly provide me with a little insight, and direction I’d appreciate it. I’m looking for an optics rig for my Tactical Mini 14. Specifically, I’m looking for an optics rig that has a scope with some magnification, and a holographic sight that piggybacks the scope. Hence, I can pull up and catch the holographic sight for fast acquisition, or look into the scope for a shot that has a little distance to it. I’ll be using it for pigs, varmints and such. Does anyone know where I can acquire a rig described above, or have one pieced together? It has to fit my Mini and not an AR platform. To make matters even more difficult...I have an "eye" problem...I can't "see" paying $800 for a rig I described above....Needs to be somewhat affordable. Thanks guys!!

Anyone, Any Ideas?

Optics are one of those "get what you pay for" things... and super-ninja setups like that aren't cheap. What kind of distances are you looking at? one of the 1-4x scopes would probably be plenty, there are a few of them for decent prices, think Burris has one.

There's a model of ACOG that comes with small red dot's sitting above them. The ACOG will provide magnification and a ballistic retical, the small red dot above will give you that.

It's the Trijicon ACOG/RMR combo's. You can buy each separate or as a combo package. It's not cheap (well above the $800), but I've always said that it's better to buy a quality item that you want from the beginning. At least you have a starting point now.

You can use any scope you want or may currently have and use something like the SAR1 from TNVC, they make a model with their own micro dot for under $200.

You could also look at an offset 45* micro dot mount, or rotate the above mentioned ring.

I looked at the Trijicon ACOG/RMR combos. I'm aware of their pricing; and it's more than I'm willing to pay. Yes, I know you get what you pay for in optics, however it's going to be on my Mini. I don't need anything too deep or expensive, after all the bullistics on the Mini 14 go crap after 150 yards. I guess I'll put something together myself. Thanks for the insight.

I have no experience with this optic but it is a less expensive option.

I looked at that set-up as well. It's what I'm looking for...I just don't know about it mounting onto the Mini. I have factory rings for the gun. However, the holographic sight appears to be custom mounted on the rings used with the Burris. Do you think my rings could be subed for the ones used on this rig?

In optics, you get what you pay for.
