I have a home built 18” 223 wylde rifle. I am looking to put a scope on it. I am mainly a bolt gun guy so I am not looking to drop serious money on something I won’t frequently use. I am torn between 2 scopes and therefore, 2 approaches to a DMR. Both scopes are nearly identical in price to that’s a wash
1. Athlon helos 2-12 scope. It has a good reticle, but it is more geared towards the longer range side of using this weapon. Wouldn’t be the most handy in quick shooting or would be overkill in an indoor range. 12x on a dmr is nice to have.
2. Primary arms 1-8 FFP with a griffin mil reticle. This is more geared towards close up shooting with a 1x power, but has the mil system in the reticle if I do take shots out to distance. Definitely not ideal but useable at that mag range out to 600 ish
What would you choose? What is your preferred emphasis with a DMR rifle?
