First Time Out
First Time Out
Took my new AR7 to the range to break it in. Used CCI Mini-Mags, worked great. The iron sights where very good. Then I used a ten dollar red dot sight, and after adjusting it work also, however, the iron sights were better. Nice price, excellent product.

Re: First Time Out
Welcome aboard Sarge, the AR7 sure is an interesting rifle. I might find that I need one if the owners here keep saying good things about them.

Re: First Time Out
Sarge, I'm glad you like your AR7. What kind of cheap red dot did you get? I got one from Crosman last year for ten bucks. It was pretty cheap, but it worked great on one of my air rifles. I should try it on a .22 just for fun.

Daytime Dave:
I bought the red dot from Optics Planet on sale. Like the fellow on youtube, I attached a cheekrest/pouch which works well. The small pouch holds the sight and a box of 50 rounds. I also did the modification to the ammo loops and can put two magazines on the outside. Great idea from this fellow, recommend to all.
