Your long range question yes. For your other two questions I do not use those types of firearms so I do not know.

I Do have an AR-15 and I have used the Jim Shockey Primos Gem 2 Tripod and it works great. I have owned 3 other tripods and gave 2 away. I bought one from Cabela's and it cost me $229.00. A little over a year of owning it, I was shooting at a deer and the top broke into several pieces. The Gem 2 is the most solid and best Quality tripod I have ever used. I use the Gem 2 to sight in my hunting rifle all the time and it works great. I believe it is good for long range shooting. I shot my buck this year at about 164 yards. the Gem 2 is the best investment I have ever made.

To sight in your rifle I suggest using a bench at your local rifle range. The Primos tri pod should have no problem with the AR 15 depending on the add on you may have on the fore end. Last for long range yes the more stable a shooter is the better more so the longer the range. Hope this helps Mr. Rabbit and good shooting.

Personal choice on the AR-15, depends on the situation. I would want a true front rest and back rest if I were zeroing a gun. It would be good for the longer shots mountain hunting offers.
1272624
Dale, yes both can be used with an AR -15, It is a field tripod or bipod to steady the gun and increase the accuracy of the shot but it is not intended to zero a rifle for that matter you need either a couple of sand bags and/or a rifle rest like the ones made by Coldwell, and finally yes the product is meant to increae the accuracy of a shot at any range both short and long range providing a more steady platform to support the rifle
1272625
Yes and yes to all of your questions.Well built and i put a laser in the barrel and sight any thing in.
1272626
Bench rest or prone with a bipod is best for zeroing or long range. This is a good hunting tool for any rifle when you need to be better than "off hand". Works good in standing or sitting position. I'ld say 0 to 200 yds this works good. Better shooters may get better results.

Well I got the 3x cuz I mounted on a AR with a 7.62x39 upper , now this caliber is good for CQB but not as good as a 2.23 for long distance for that I have another rifle with a scope up to 600 yrds, so for 100 yrds to 150 yrds I think you are ok but if you want to shoot further go with 5x

Like a champ. You may need a rail to mount it to. Not sure what yours comes with for scope mounting. I have one on a Ruger 10\22 and it works great. I'm shooting 200 yards. Nice magnification and pretty good optics for $50 bucks. Aim Sports was great to work with and good fast service. You may need a scope mount which you can also get from Aim sports and probably have it all by the end of the week. Good luck and happy shooting.

I have used it on my .22 rifle, so I think it would work good for an Ar15. It has some great features for the smaller caliber guns.

I havent mounted it on a rifle as yet.I have about 28 acres and I like to watch the wildlife I have here.I primarly just use it by itself right now.I'm looking for a Ruger 10 22 in 22 magnum.5 years ago I gould purchase one for less than $400.Now the greedydealers want$900 and theammo is obcsenelypriced.I live in TN and even the local walMarts haven't hs any 22LR for almost a year.just useing the scope I can see what goes bump in the night,

This is a very very acccurasy. I use the crosman premier hollow point and domed...this is a best air rifle for small hunting...I loved this rifle...

I purchased this rifle as a beginner to the air gun hobby, and found it difficult to maintain scope zero due to the recoil and poor construction. It will work fine for a few hundred shots, but everyone I know who has purchased Gamo rifles has had this problem. Yes a 15yr old should be able to cock the gun!

2:03 PM (2 hours ago)to Amazon I am using the UTG CQB Red/Green Dot Optic Model SCP-DS3840W. I only use the rifle for targets and this works great. We shoot at 4" steel gong targets from 100 yards and only miss when it is shooter error. This model has locking windage and elevation adjustments. The fellow I shoot with does not have locking adjustments on his optic and has had to reset each time we shoot. I am very happy with my setup. In order to mount both you will have to have a top rail on your handguard. I replaced my stock handguard with the UTG SSSR Model 4/15, easy install. Hope this all helps. 2:03 PM (2 hours ago)to Amazon I am using the UTG CQB Red/Green Dot Optic Model SCP-DS3840W. I only use the rifle for targets and this works great.

I would use it at any range for target shooting. When used for hunting, it should be mounted only on long distance firearms. Expect any moving animal, at less than 150 yards roughly, to jump out of your field of vision because you begin stuck at 9x zoom. You want long distance targets and I'd say at full 24x zoom, a skilled marksman could hit a target a 1\2 mile away at least. Hope that answers your question. I didn't use it but would recommend it be installed on a lever action 1st, 2nd a bolt action, and 3rd an AR in .308 or .300 or larger caliber with a lot of extra rail space. And yes this thing is freaking heavy. Not tactical in any way at all I would use it at any range for target shooting. When used for hunting, it should be mounted only on long distance firearms.

Got it for Christmas, and it's been hardcore winter since then, so we haven't used it much yet. Looking forward to spring. I can tell you, though that it doesn't work well for very long at all in very cold temperatures. That's no surprise; the information that comes with it tells you that. Also, it's a pistol and doesn't have the velocity of the rifle, so it won't have the accuracy or range of the rifle either. Compared to a rifle, you would need to be pretty close range to do any real damage to anything. Even then, we shopped and compared pretty hard before buying this, and like it very much. It was a good choice for us. Hope this helps. Got it for Christmas, and it's been hardcore winter since then, so we haven't used it much yet. Looking forward to spring.

I would get an AimPoint patrolman or an EoTech. They are more expensive but well worth the extra cost and will survive your 7.62mm. Trust me I know. I have used them in a number of harsh environments. You may want to get a riser to help with co-witness. Let me know if you have more questions.

I mounted mine and zeroed it within 4-5 inches of bullseye. Ran over 50 rounds and it still held target. I might be wrong, but this site is good for 50 yards. After that, it would be best to use a scope.

I still have the original 2 point sling on the rifle with the bipod. It fits between the legs or to the side. I will probably change to a single point in the future.

i've never tried the burris. The Leopold is one of the best illuminated scopes i've ever seen I love the motion senser illumination. My Leopold is on an IWI Trevor a killer pure and simple. i draw this weapon, target is down, day or night. Come on, best NRA rifle and optics platform???

I have had this mounted on my AK47, many shots down range. Less than 1" at 50yrd and less than 2" at 100 yrd. Friend mounted one on his AK with the same results, he just bought one for his AR15, and I'm getting one for mine. Several negative reviews out there, but I can't speak to other peoples installation/mounting or use. Mine and friends work great, holding up to AK47 recoil, multiple disconnects and banging around in /out of trucks. Still holding zero after 8 months. Buy it, price is good and it works.

Mr. Floyd: Yes, I believe this vest should hold between four and six thirty rounder mags for the AK-series weapons. You may only be able to get one mag per pouch because of more curvature on the AK mag than on an AR/M16 version, for which they are actually designed. The pouches are NOT wide and deep enough to hold SKS mags, which have the long, front mounting lip. This is a terrific vest. I put two more AR mags in a Blackhawk belt pouch, and use anchor the whole rig on that same 5.11 Tactical Belt. 250 rounds of rifle ammo and over 100 rounds of pistol ammo is a good bit of firepower; far more than I was able to carry in Vietnam on a patrol.

For the price it's definitely worth a try. Truthfully thou, a full auto AK47 firing the 7.62 rd, if it was zeroed in wouldn't be for very long. It's just to much recoil and you would be adjusting every time you changed out a mag which gets boring really quick. Personally, I would say leave the scope off AKs are sexy without scopes buy if you really want a scope I would recommend the ACOG. They're built specifically for high cal. full auto assault rifles but they are going to be a bit pricey.
