    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    Thanks. That particular one was pointed out to me....and I'm 'eyeing' it hard. I watched the video from earlier in the thread and he mentioned the 1-6 as being great. I've a couple scopes on Ebay at the moment so should have the funds for this soon. Like I said, need one for the SR15 so I'll be...

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    Funny thing is....didn't even know I had 'the itch'; took me a lot of effort to come full circle. Hopefully, it works out great; if not, no worries. I have gotten feedback from three different owners (not the seller although he confirms) that love theirs so will keep fingers crossed. Again, I...

    Dang, with as many optics as you've 'killed', you must shoot every day! Jealous...

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    I'm gonna swing by a shop and see if I can get my hands on one and/or buy one here or ARfcom. I still have an optic need for the SR15, just gonna wait and see how I like the S&B first as it may impact my course of action. Thanks y'all.

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    Yes, I’m aware thanks. I bought the 1.1-8; price was excellent and given availability, I had to try it knowing the others can be found in abundance. I’ve thought about it and really was driven to try German glass. I’m not an experienced shooter like most here so am sure it will meet/exceed my...

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    I think I’m going to get it since it’s a one-off opportunity and see how it goes. Worst case, sell it and buy a Viper or ATACR since they’re easily found. Thanks y’all, will report back how things shake out. To add; because of the video above, I may consider getting the Razor 1-6 for a SR15.

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    Really, just overall I’d like to know more. The only comment I could find pro/con was that the red dot at 1.1 is too small but that may be just a subjective thing. I’ve found a place in my AO that has the NF and Vortex scopes so hope to put my hands on those today. I doubt they even have S&B...

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    The one I’m considering is the 1.1-8 High Power and like I’ve said before, there’s nearly zero information out there in them so am in the dark. To be honest, I’ve never held a S&B scope before but know they’re supposed to be awesome so that is driving my interest; the scope is my price range at...

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    Thanks. I appreciate the explanation of the reticle, it really does seem right for me. And thanks for the info re: Scalarworks, it was on the short list for a mount! BTW; what brand is that Red Dot?

    Sweet! Thanks a bunch. I feel like I’m finally narrowing this down.

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    Thanks, but I don’t plan to shoot Long Range recognizing my lack of time to properly learn. And I didn’t mean to imply that being the mission so sorry if I’ve confused things even more than necessary. Your comment re: the lack of Intel is probably spot-on; there’s a reason ;) Sounds like getting...

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    I don’t want people to tell me to GET it, I want people to tell me ABOUT it. There’s like zero real intel online so just looking for real people with real experience. Other than that, YEAH, I’ll figure it out on my own.

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    Thanks; that makes a lot of sense, sort of just splitting hairs at some point I suppose. I’ll never have the time to train long distance and using a lot of holdovers so now prefer ‘aim and point’ like my ACOG’s and Accupoints. I know they are not spot-on but I like BDC reticle with a ranging...

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    This is where I get stuck on doing a 1-x or something like 3-12 (or close to that); seems no one makes a really good 1x and as such, people mount a red dot. If I’m gonna do that, it seems smart to live up in magnification slightly and go with an RMR? Granted, it might be different if this were a...

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    You have to tell me more about that paint! That’s bloody sexy. And just to be clear, that’s the 1.1-8, not the 1-8? My only hesitation there is the how the reticle looks at 1x; I’ve read you almost can’t see it. Can you confirm or deny please? I’m gonna get my hands on the Razor and see if it’s...

    Thanks y’all.....any thoughts in that Schmidt and Bender 1.1-8?

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    Thanks. I may go up to Bass Pro and see if they have any in stock. To be fair, I've never held any of the Vortex higher end stuff; only Strike Eagles.

    Need a 1-8 at $2K or less and need some help deciding....please!

    I've gone around and around on this and here's where I stand.... Rifle is a SR25 16" barrel; role is range time/SHTF and hunting deer. While I have other AR's (2 SR15's, PWS in 300blk, etc.), this will be my 'main' rifle so I want to keep it light but able to shoot to 500y. I'm currently...
