Re: 2.5-10 or 1-4 for an spr
600yds is about max with a 1-4 and that is with a uspsa target for me anyway. I would go with the 2.5-10

Re: 2.5-10 or 1-4 for an spr
I run a 4X Talon on a 16" AR and like it but wish I had more. I've ran a 2.5-10 NF on it in the past and I believe I'm going to go back to it.

Re: 2.5-10 or 1-4 for an spr
I would say something closer to the 2.5-10 range for an SPR and 1-4 for a carbine. Depending on the distance and target size, you may do just fine with irons.
I have a 2.5-10x24 on an 18" Noveske SPR and really like the combo. I do have a 1-4 Vortex on order for a 3-gun build though.

Re: 2.5-10 or 1-4 for an spr
I'd prefer 2.5-10x for out to 600 meters,
but you said you'd like to do local carbine comps,
so I'd go with 1-4x for shorter range carbine comps.
You can still shoot 600 meters with 4x.
That said, I'd prefer a 10x with a mini red dot in an offset mount for the close fast shots.

Re: 2.5-10 or 1-4 for an spr
I am stuck with the same decision. I am going with 2.5 x 10 because it will be mostly used for hunting and paper. 2 x 12 would be nice but there are only a few and expensive options right now.

2.5-10 for sure. 1-4 is way too weak for serious long range work.

True, but 600 meters is not serious long range work.
I have no problem shooting E-type silhouettes at 600 meters with 3.5x and 6x ACOGs.
It's all a compromise and we have to decide what ranges we will prioritize and what ranges our optic will be just good enough. The local carbine comps that I have been in were primarily short range with a little midrange.

Re: 2.5-10 or 1-4 for an spr
Id go with the 2.5-10 for that.
I have a USO 1.8-10 on my mk12 and it works great for sub 100yd shots and out past 600yds. IMHO its one of the best all around scopes for that type of platform.

Re: 2.5-10 or 1-4 for an spr
For all around use a 2.5-10ish scope is best but you won't be using that in a carbine class. Probably best going with a red dot or just plain irons for that.

I have a vortex pst 2.5-10 on my 18" ar with an offset mrd. I am happy with the set up.

Re: 2.5-10 or 1-4 for an spr
Don't have any pictures since I changed to this optics set up. I use a Warne ramp mount which has the off set mount for the mrd built into the base. A real nice set up as long as you don't want QD.

What about Bushnell's 1-6.5x24 FFP Elite Tactical?

Re: 2.5-10 or 1-4 for an spr
I have a PST 1-4 which excels at CQB and a NF 2.5-10 which beats by a large margin past 400 for our 3-G matches and especially and out to 700 Meters. There is no free lunch.
I have a USO 1.5-6 DFP coming which should work for both short and longer ranges, but it has run my lunch fees up considerably.
