Well I recieved my new sight today, The
Burris XTS-135
. Granted it is not an AimPoint, but from the research I have done I think this will suffice for the time.

Here is the info I have got from Burris on the sight and whether it would stand up to the the AR-10....
"That particular scope was specifically designed for AR-10 use. It will do fine on your firearm."

Some technical data I have compiled.....
Water depth......5 meters.....good enough for me...
Max cold temp.......+14, ok that is not so hot, for me given the time of year.
Max heat......+122, that will work. I am not planning any trips to Death Valley.
The Impact rating is up to 700 Gs......equal to the recoil of a 375 Wetherby Magnum, so recoil should not be an issue.
I am planing to do a full review of it, including a 100 round field test, which will goes as follows....
20 rounds of controlled firing....
60 to 70 rnds rapid fire.....
and the Last 10 to 20 will be a """"surprise""""
As I said, it is not an AimPoint (if I had the Money, I would have one) but if it does as Burris say it will do, I think it will be a good alternative for those that can not afford the "High End" optics, and for the average shooter..
Will post my findings and videos when completed..
