So i;ve already decied i would like something with a power between 4-14 and 4-16 in mil-dot. I was looking at both the falcon menace and nijkon monarch and was wondering what other scopes for $550 and under would be reomended. Any opinions?

Re: Choosing optics
Yes. I have a recommendation.
Learn to use the search button. You just asked about suppressors in NY which is also easily searched. If you learn to search before asking, you'll ask better questions and get better responses that are more relevant to your needs. You've failed to provide background, what you're putting this scope on, your experience, and the discipline you intend to shoot. You'll need to do some searching, read the stickies, then come back and ask a more relevant questions.
ETA: a "One shot, one kill" "Sniper" like yourself should have some idea of what scopes would work for you, since you're a sniper and all

My brother has has very good luck the last 2 1/2 years using a Konus M30 6.5-25X44 scope on his Remy SPS 20" 308. It has very good resolution, tracks well and has held zero. It sells for $329.95 @ SWFA.

Re: Choosing optics
I have done my research thats why i already have the power base and a few ideas. the point of a forum to ask ask questions and get opinions on things that arnt found in other threads. And for details, I plan to put in on my remington 700 chambered in .308 with a B&C medalist a5 stock and DBM. I then plan to paint the scope a desert tan as i did with my stock. This scope will be used for both hunting and range shooting from 200 - 700 yards

Take a look at the Burris MTAC in 4-14. It has a gen2 mil dot reticle and 1/10 mil turrets.

Re: Choosing optics
Of course, somebody needs to evcourage good questions and independent thinking. What type of target shooting? Known range? Do you have a preference of FFP or SFP? Do you know advantages of each? Why mil-dot over other, more useful reticles? That budget is constrictive for a good featured scope. I'd look at adding budget for a more useful scope or look at a used Bushnell Elite Tactical. Also consider the SFP Vortex Midway special.
Also, where did you serve as a sniper?

Re: Choosing optics
At this stage of my life, I'm moving from irons to scopes. I like the Nikon offerings so well on my AR's that I've ordered a 4-16X50SF BDC for my new Remington XCR Compact Tactical My 20"HBAR MT6700 has the 2.5-8X32 BDC and after taking a look at the SpotOn software its very easy to solve (dope) the results. I just put the app on my iPad mini for sboout $5 and ordered it for my laptops and desktops for $17 shipped IIRC..I think I'm gonna like it.. Ron

Re: Choosing optics
What I don't like about the BDCs are that they are designed around one weight of bullet at one velocity. I would rather a standard scope with hashes that pertained to actual units of measure rather than the constants of a fixed round.

I actually found your humor to be good. It really made me laugh. I actually thought you were funny by continuing to push for the sniper credentials. Sorry I didn't communicate that better. I have no sensibilities. ;-)

Re: Choosing optics
I would also like to know his sniper credentials. I don't give relevant information to mall ninjas, airsoft rangers, or keyboard commandos. It's pretty useless to answer his questions in my opinion since he is already able to get one kill per shot...

Re: Choosing optics
I just get a kick out of Tyler. He's always straight to the point. Off with there heads! If they don't bleed out, I'll help them. I've seen him do it more than once. Yeah the OP could very well be mental. Supressor in NY, painting the weapon desert tan (although if he is in NYC, taxi yellow might be better)! Sniper name, one shot one kill. But I believe the freak boy in the tower at UT in Austin, went by Charles. So what can you tell by a name? It's the ones that appear normal that scare me.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions, hell, I'm brand new to this game.
The issue is that you ask the same question multiple times.
It's one thing to ask questions that have been asked by others hundreds if times over. It's a compleatly different thing to ask YOUR same question over and over

Re: Choosing optics
What is up with the abundance of 13, 14 and 15 yr olds that seem to be posting here on the hide. Correct me if I'm wrong but you must be 18 to purchase firearms and ammunition? Look kid use google to ask your question then add snipers hide in with the search. Your questions will have already been answered more than once. I will first off say I'm in no means a "sniper" there is more to being a sniper than just shooting though. Good luck.

Maybe so, but I know many 13-15 year olds who are fantastic shooters. Maybe they can't purchase guns yet, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be learning about guns and learning how to shoot.
xSniperx, keep asking questions and keep learning about guns and precision rifles. BUT, like Sheepdog said, do research on your own, as well. Google is great. For example, if you want to search the forum for Nikon Monarchs, Google something like "nikon monarch review site:snipershide.com". As far as posting on the forums goes, if the answers we're giving you aren't what you want, the question is probably too broad or too vague. Listen to what people are saying, then post IN THE SAME THREAD if you have questions or want to clarify what you want. Also, checking your grammar and spelling before posting will go a long way when it comes to people taking you seriously.

Re: Choosing optics
Stay away from the Nikon Monarch Mildot. You'll have a mil reticle with MOA turrets. If you want a Monarch, I have two of them, get either a Plex or BDC reticle (which are for hunting use). Recommend you save a bit for a Vortex Viper 2-10 PST (MRAD type reticle) with Aadamount 30mm low rings; with a base, that will put you right $600.

Nothing wrong with a 15 year old asking questions.
My 12 year old asks a lot of questions...but seeing he is shooting 1.25MOA with his Savage .22 I don't mind.
Also...he can spell.
If I was xSNIPERx I'd worry about the basics like spelling and sentence structure more than what scope to buy ;-)
