I have a basically a new AR15 topped with a new Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18X44. I think it looks a bit odd with the larger scope, I’m on the fence about getting a 1-8 for it. What do y’all think?

I’ve shot my 1-8 out to 500 with out issue but my gripe was the reticle. It was a little too bulky for my liking and so I went back to a 2-10 for a more precise reticle. If you don’t plan on shooting much distance and don’t mind a bulky reticle the 1-6/1-8 are awesome. I will say the 1-8 was money for close pig killing (inside 50 yards)

Shoot it the way you feel comfortable. I usually don't put long range glass on my AR guns because none of them are long range rifles. The longest range scope I use is a Sightmark Wraith IR for night work. Erthang else has a 1-4x24 or a Reflex red dot with no magnification. I consider my AR's to be 100yds or less guns and for that I can use the peep sight and hit 6" steel gongs every shot at 100. Good enough to put the hurt on pigs. I'll bet this lil Vortex will be plenty and it has great eye relief. You can shoot it with both eyes open too. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-cros...iflescope.htmlLast edited by muzzlebrake; 07-30-2021, 10:10 AM.

Big scope don't hurt a thing if you don't mind the weight and bulkiness. It does extend your range by about double.
