Then you got a hell of a deal. Every ACOG I have ever seen is 600+. Congrats, I wouldnt hold my breath to see it again.

This is true, i havent seen any model new for under $900, and yeah, I probably wont win a bid like that ever again, smart guy should have put a reserve on it.

Damn lucky you, ACOGs are great but I can't see myself putting a scope that cost more than my rifle

Hey tvfreakazoid what about this? I want one just cause it could be used for CQB, not as good as eotech or aimpoint, but close enough. Plus if you want to reach out you got the 8x both are going to be pretty damn expensive

Those seem pretty sweet. How much???
What is the eye relief like? Like I said before i don't know anything much about scopes. I noticed that when I look through the scope It seems i have a hard time focusing and bothers me a little. It's not like if you look through a acog where i can have both eyes open and it doesn't bother one bit.

I was also thinking about getting one of these budget optics. If guys had to choose between the 2 which one would it be? I am open to suggestions if there is something better than these optics in similar price range. Also which size mounting ring would I need for the optics (I have a POF AR? The iron sight I use is a MI low profile)?

Vortex strikfire optic
Or
Tasco propoint optic

I'm new to the AR seen and I would love to have a acog. But I don't care what anyone else says about them or other higher end optics, they are waaaaaaay over priced. If I had a chance to buy one on ebay for that cheap i would of. Your very lucky.
It seems to me that gun accessories are way over priced. These companies like to rape your wallet. But people do buy them.
