Rifle Scopes Lightweight short range hunting optic?

The Vector is really starting to sway me with all its features. Trying to find a 2-10 or 1.5-9 for a mid range AR to replace my Viper gen 2 2-10 since the turrets are huge and do not lock. Vector has looking turrets and the GPO 1.5-9x44 has capped turrets and the only one in that line with a mil styled reticle. There really isn't a lot of options with a decent reticle in the midrange scope market. Not doing the Athlon 2-12 after reading about so many breakages. Yes they have a rock solid warranty, just don't need a scope crapping out halfway through a run and gun. The MK4 Leupold seems to be 50/50 on satisfied customers.

Optics Advice for AR-15

For my close in AR, I use an Athlon Helos btr gen 2 2-12 x 42. I dont like telescopes on my rifles especially my lightweight, close range AR's, and this fits the bill pretty well. It's not perfect however. For me the reticle is too thick (i do know that it was intentionally designed that way for bigger targets closer in) and sometimes (not very often) the reticles pretty useless at the lower powers.
Overall though, it's affordable, not big, has locking turrets, and with a throw lever is a fast scope that you can scan at 2 power, pick up a target, throw up to 12 pretty quickly and engage what you need to engage. I think it's a good compromise for me.

Firearms Alchemy Custom Weaponry Quantico HiCap Full Rail 9MM

Selling my lightly used ACW Quantico Hi Cap Full Rail 9mm in Vintage Classic Finish with Optics cut (RMR), flat trigger, and black barrel. Shot it a couple of times. It is a great gun but just doesn't get used and is too nice to be a safe queen. Includes the two 17 round magazines that came with, though if you are in a restricted state I can keep the mags and knock $100 off the price.

For sale only where unambiguously legal.

$4200 shipped insured. No trades please.

I can take cash, cashier or personal check (personal check clears before shipping), or money order.

Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

That Bisley Hunter is my favorite gun to shoot. I found it collecting dust at a pawn shop with a Burris 2-7 and got it for $600. The Burris took a shit and shattered a lens on the 2nd range trip and a couple days after sending it off I was traveling over to Daytona and found that Leupold collecting dust at a random gun store center state for $150.

One of these days I’ll have it punched out to 44 mag.
