So I won one of these in a raffle and I'm trying to figure out an optic. I threw and AR536 on it because I had one laying around. Eye relief isn't ideal but I'm going to shoot it next week and see what I think. It's short, light and will most likely be a truck or Ranger gun so I'm thinking something I can acquire a target with quickly and most shooting will be sub 100 yards.

I've got one and am very pleased with it. I real "hog hammer!" To ensure I had some good eye relief, I went with a Bushnell Banner and it has worked fine. It kicks like a mule, and as mentioned, it is very loud, but it puts whatever you're shooting at down very quickly.

This is one that’s on my list, if I happen to see one for the right price I’ll grab it.. optic wise I’d do a low power ar type scope like a 1-4 or maybe a 1-8 like the pst that midway has on sale for like $359 or so.

Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.
