    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    Good to hear from someone who has owned both. Which one is better at max magnification? I will be driving up to Oregon this Friday for coastal Elk season and it is anything but flat. In the past I've always kept my optics on there lowest magnification while hunting for quick target acquisition...

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    I will admit that I have an irrational bias against Bushnell products. That said, the LRHS ret is perfect for my needs. I am only leaning toward the T5Xi and PSTG2 because I have a feeling that I'm going to wish I had a wider FOV on the low end if I go with the 4.5-18 LRHSi.

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    Agreed, the SWFA is a good base line but for the same price as the Ares, I think the Ares is the slightly better/more modern option. The TT315M is awesome and they go for $2300-$2500 used which isn't bad; I like the March 3-24x52 FML-T1 better but thats probably my lack of experience speaking...

    I agree, the Tubb reticle is awesome! Do you know if he will retrofit it? I think that the next best option for the Mark 6 is the TMR, I would dial in elevation and hold windage with this ret. I really like the CMR-W ret as well but I believe it's caliber specific because all the ones that I...

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    I'm glad there are other people in the same boat. I'm thinking the Mark 6 would be ideal but at less than half the price the Ares is hard to pass up as a stepping stone. Have you taken a look at the March 3-24x42? It's in the same price range as the Mark 6 Illum TMR on the used market and the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 3-15x44 VS. Steiner T5Xi 3-15x50

    How similar are these optics in performance? What do I gain by spending more on the Steiner?

    Rifle Scopes General Purpose Scopes: Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44 VS. March F. 3-24x42

    Illum. TMR on the Mark 6 and illum. FML 1 on the March F. Which would you choose and why? If there are other 25oz optics in this tier please enlighten me.

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    I agree, these two seem like the best options. Are you looking at the Ares 2.5-15 and PST G2 3-15 or the Ares 4.5-27 and PST G2 5-25? Is there a rebate available for the PST G2? Please enlighten me.

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    Thank you for all of your detailed responses thus far. I read the blog post you sent me and it was very interesting. I have decided that I have a hard budget of $1400 and that I want to buy a used optic. I could get the K312i for $1600 used or the March 3-24x42 for $1800 but that is just over my...

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    I would like to mention that I put QD mounts on all my scopes and this scope will also be used on a precision 22lr AR as well as a precision 223 wylde AR, so parallax adjustment and accurate tracking are essential features. I have only ever used MOA SFP scopes with plex sights so I'm having...

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    In that mag range I like the Ares 2.5-15 and the SWFA 3-15, anything less than 3x min mag is overkill since I also have a red dot mounted that I feel comfortable with out to 75 yds and I would like to do some long rang target shooting as well so I don't want to go any lower than 15x max mag. I...

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    I would like to keep the weight around 30 oz but less weight would be welcome. 3-18x44 would be ideal but the only options I see are the IOR and Mark 6 with the Mark 6 being my dream scope for this build. The Bushnell 3.5-21x50 is also a contender but it is on the heavier side. Do you think I...

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    I am ready to take the plunge into my first FFP scope. The scope will be topping an 18" 6.5 Grendel precision AR and will primarily be used for varmint and white tail hunting anywhere from 50-400 yds. I also have access to private land where I can shoot targets out past 1000 yds and I would like...
