    Was thinking of putting a scope on my M4 , need some advice on brands etc. Also can someone explain to me what 4x32 means ? is that a good magnification ? also do I need a large mount for it so the iron sight on the M4 is not blocking the scope ?

    You will find when looking through a telescopic sight on an m4, the front sight isnt visible due to the way the light is bent... odd but hey.

    4x32... means the objective lens (front) is 32mm, and it has 4x zoom. About as much as youd want, though judging by that size, is it an Acog?

    Brand... meh, not MUCH issue for airsoft. Holding zero dispite recoil isnt a problem, pick one you like and is apropriate, a 20x60 is great for a barret, but useless for airsoft :P

    Red dots are best, zero zoom, but far more practical, zoom on an aeg at 328fps is a bit overkill.
