Rifle Scopes $1500-$2000 budget compact scope suggestions?

[Winny94]

Looking for something for a 20" 308 - sort of a handy rifle for 100-600 yard shooting. Right now im looking at:
Leupold Mk5 HD 3.6-18
Sig Tango6 3-18
Stenier T5xi 3-15
EOTech Vudu 5-25 (if they ever release it - this is probably falling off the list)

Has anyone shot more than one of these and can compare?

The EOTech is already out. Guys here already have some.

I had the Leupold MK5 for a few days before changing my mind and sending it back. Did not mount but did looked at through the glass and it was a bit better than on Steiner. Still own the Steiner and I like the turrets better on it than on the MK5. If you look around sometimes you can find the T5 under $1,500. Can' tell you about the others.

You can find deals on AMG around 1900-2k. I prefer it over the mk5 and tango 6. Haven’t compared to Steiner or vudu yet.

 

[Dthomas3523]

Oops. The AMG isn’t “compact” in length.

Had a T5Xi 3-15 that had the illumination go bust on the first outing. Went to a leupy Mk5 3.6-18 and I’m liking it a lot. To my eyes, glass looks very close to my ATACR SFP 5-25 I had on my TL3 build. Very light and compact.

Maybe the easiest "what scope" thread I've seen in awhile. Vortex AMG 6-24, unless length is a serious concern or you need something less than 6x. But the AMG has alpha-class glass, a good reticle, great turrets, awesome illumination, lightweight, pretty compact, awesome warranty, etc.etc.etc. It was built for exactly what you want to do.

Leupold Mark 5, Steiner T5Xi, Nightforce 2.5-10x24 and NX8 1-8x, I think are all good choices. ATACR 4-16x, but probably blows your budget.

Bushnell HDMR2 is what I run on a similar set up. Could not be happier. If your not into the Horus system, the DMR2 is the same scope without Horus but it does have an illuminated R.

Except for budget, this is a really awesome option.

Shameless plug, but I'm selling this one with nice accutac bubble level rings and Butler Creek caps:

Another shameless plug. I'm selling a NIB tango 6 in your budget.

If you would consider Atlon Cronus Glass is crisp clear and still within your budget

 

[mtnhickorynut]

Sig Tango6 is best choice from your list, in my opinion. Very nice scope to look through. Their lack of confidence in lifetime of electronics is shown by their warranty though.

New? DMR2 or mk5

Better than both of those? Used NF ATACR 4-16
