[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 1038995, member: 69773"] I was watching a youtube video of Jerry Miculek and an AR demonstration. I am not that much an AR fan (mostly because of how the stocks fit to me), but he had an interesting setup with a scope on the top and another type of optic / aiming method on the side. (or vice versa) In any event, he had trained himself to rapidly rotate the rifle 90 degrees for either a scoped shot or non-scoped shot. Maybe this is common, I don't know, but it sure was effective for him. As far as lower powered scopes (4x / 6x) honestly I don't see the point of a variable in this range. A fixed power will nearly always give a wider field of view than a variable and something like an IOR 6x gathers a lot of light. I completely get the vision challenge, which can also make use of a variable more complicated. Wild boar can tear a person up pretty fast, so my suggestion is to have hunting partners carrying a mix of shotgun and rifle, backed up with a .357 or similar. At 25 yards that is nearly revolver territory. [/QUOTE]
