Hey guys. I know that scope recs have been done ad nauseum here and elsewhere but before you snuff me out: this one will be generally focused on second hand market and current closeouts because that's where I feel like I'ld get the best bang for the buck.
So without further delay, I have a budget maxing out at 1200 and here is what I'm seeing:
Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50mm TMR ~$999 new closeout
Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20x50mm MilDot ~$800 used
Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56mm MilDot or MOAR-T ~$1200 used
burris xtr ii 5-25x50 with rings ~$700 used
BUSHNELL ELITE TACTICAL DMR II PRO 3.5-21X50 ~$1000 open box (need new rings so +$100)
swfa rifle scope SS-HD 5-20 X 50mm ~$1000 used
Athlon midas Midas TAC 5-25×56 APRS3 FFP MIL HD ~$900 open box
US Optics TS-20X MDMOA ~$900 used
So what would you choose and why?
- Use is long range shooting and hunting with the 308AR platform.
- I need high mag variable because my eyes just aren't that great (~5x thru ~22x+)
- I'ld like good glass but more importantly I need accurate dialing
- Prefer to stick with 30m tube since the rings were kinda $$$.
