Sure shoot me a PM with your recommended parts

Hey guys, after my LaRue AR-10 6.5CM Ultimate Upper build I've been lusting for amother AR15 in 5.56/.223. I have a early 90s stock Colt Match-HBar with iron sights that I inharented...I plan on leaving that way for sentimental value. So...after shooting the LaRue AR-10 I built the other day...

As for why...the glass is great on all the models I looked at but the feel of the adjustments (I was surprised how much more comfortable some models felt to me than others), customer service, and track record is why I finalized my preference. Glad I went to look at them in person!

After some thought, talking to folks at some local shops, and online reviews I have decided I am going with either a Nightforce or S&B. Need to now finalize on 1st or 2nd plane. I think I will go with a new NXS if I decided on SFP...a used or demo ATACR or S&B if FFP.

I think I am going to find a place or places that have in stock...I'd like to set my hand's on them! Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 ZeroStop Nightforce ATACR Leupold Mark 5 Riflescope 3.6-18x44mm Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 6.5-20x50 Price difference is $2300 to 1300. I understand the Mark 4 maybe...

The other Leupold option is Leupold Mark 5 Riflescope 3.6-18x44mm M5C3 Matte Front Focal, Color: Black, Tube Diameter: 35 for $1600 new. I really don't like the size, weight, or look of the Vortex Scopes...I'm sure they have their place, just don't feel like it will work well with my setup.

Well...I think I am going to give a FFP scope a try. Although initially I was leaning toward a NightForce NXS or ATACR, or perhaps a used higher end scope I feel guilty and foolish spending a ton of money before I get some experience under my belt on the AR 10 platform and with FFP scope. Does...

Wow! Thanks for the feedback thus far. What is the purpose and applications for the first vs second plane focus? It would seem to me (this is with never having shot a ffp scope) is the advantage of a ffp is the ability to effectively range with the scope?

Hello all! First time poster (long time reader) here from Central PA. I have a AR-10 build in-work using the LaRue Ultimate Upper in a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22" barrel (no suppressor) just muzzle break. While I wait for my LaRue Lower to get manufacturered and delivered I have been mulling...
