  A:

  In your other post you said you'd be shooting ni further the 100yds, so unless your using this as Varmit control you shouldn't really need something that 3x at the low setting, I would run a reddot, at 1x (which most reddots are) you get much faster target acquisition at close range and much faster transitions. And even if you need to reach out you can add a magnifier at a later date, the magnifiers attach to the rail, but have a hinge on them so you can go from magnified to 1x and back just by flipping your magnifier to the side ( they come in 2x, 3x, 4x, and 6x, and probably more but those are the most common I've seen)
  , the other option would be a Low Powered Variable optic (LPVO) which will be at or near 1x on low swtting and can go up 4x-10x on the high setting (depending on which you get)
  I use my ARs for Plinking and home deffense (never have had to yet but thats what I set them up for) and reddots are pretty dead on to 100yds as long as you train with it.
  Good solid reddots that won't break the bank to bad are the Romeo5

  And the Romeo7

  The Juliette magnifier pairs very well with either of those.

  Main difference in price on the magnifier is window size, magnification level. And body size.

  Raimound, the Delton Sierra 316 would be the better of the two rifles. The Echo is the base version. Cheers and stay safe!
• Q: Will the front sight on the DelTon 315m echo be in the way for a Sig romeo 5 red dot?

  A:

  Using the tall mount that comes with the Romeo5 will give an absolute co-witness where the front sight post should line up directly with the dot. Like this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/mgm-content/sites/armslist/uploads/posts/2018/04/22/8263928_02_sig_sauer_romeo5_1x20mm_red_do_640.jpg

  A:

  Daniel, you don't need to go expensive for a good tight fit rail. I have used the FireField Quad Rail M4 on two of my AR's with nary a complaint Sir : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/85810/firefield+ff34001b+quad+rail+m4+aluminum+black
• Q: Love all the data and specs on this rifle on the DelTon website. I believe this rifle is closer to being (almost) 100% mil-spec than the S&W M&P Sport 2. I am undecided but would say you get way more for your money with the 316M. But is the barrel made from 4140 or 4150 steel? Thanks.

  A:

  Christopher, Del-ton says Barrel material is CMV steel with manganese phosphate finish; M4 profile, threaded.
  Del-ton Customer Service should be able to specify which Steel at 910-645-2172 since they do not add this info in their descriptions.

• Q: How does this compare to the other entry level ar-15s?

  • Answered
  • Asked 03/26/2019 00:42 by Mike S

  A:

  Mike, Compares very favorably to sub $800 ARs. Has 1 in 8 twist (good) 4150 medium weight barrel (good) and front and rear sights (good). Forward assist and dust cover (good). Milspec not commercial buffer tube (good). Great buy. All features you find on $1500 ARs with more expensive furniture. This price will not last long.
