Rifle Scopes alternatives to the CQBSS

[jLorenzo]

Found the CQBSS and think for my AR this is the kind of scope I want.
1 or close to 1x at the low end
Ffp
Mil reticle usable for hold overs at max power
Some kind of donut or red dot at 1x
Anybody have any recommendations that don't cost quite as much? Really like the Hours they have in the CQBSS not sure what it is, H37 or H25?

It's a Lil less than the leupold I think actually really like that reticle alot. All these scopes have fixed parallax or is the turret on the left parallax and brightness?

I kind of just went through this same process after I did a run and gun. I had a 3-15x50 XTRii on a 6.5 grendel. The grendel isn't the best caliber for these events, but it was too much scope. Primary arms has their platinum (ffp illuminated) 1-8x with a standard mil based reticle. It has 0-10mil hash marks, a center 2mil horseshoe and an outer 20mil? horseshoe as well. $1300 or so retail, but they also have some blems on ebay that are $1k. I bought an ebay blem and haven't mounted it or shot it yet, but it's nice, the blemishes are hard to spot as they are on the very edge of the field of view. The biggest drawback, I haven't shot with it yet, is that it isn't 'that' much lighter than the 3-15x50. Probably only 4-6 ounces.

Not a big Leopold fan but the cqbss is hard to beat for an AR scope

Mike has had both the CQBSS for years and prefers the Minox listed above, here's an old youtube review he did on the CQBSS - Richard :

Throw the new 1-8 34mm Trijicon in the mix. Substantially cheaper and does not seem to give up much.

 

[slothlacrosse]

I got to play with a VCOG and I thought it was every bit as good as the CQBSS. Haven't had a chance to mess with the new 1-8x Accupower, but it looks promising.

 

[CSTactical]

If you're looking for a VCOG, we have VC16-C-1600002: VCOG[SUP]®[/SUP] 1-6x24 Riflescope Red Horseshoe Dot / Crosshair .223 / 55 Grain Ballistic Reticle w/ Thumb Screw Mount we can give you a screaming price on. Please call 916.670.1103 for a quote.

I have the Trijicon 1-8 mounted on a 7.62 SCAR and love it. It seems to check all of the boxes.

This has every feature you are looking for minus the Horus reticle. These are made by LOW in Japan, and quite frankly, they stack up very well to just about any 1-8 out there. They sell around $1000.

And they are currently running a $100 rebate on XTR's.

They are a fantastic option and the rebate is a bonus!

Why are you referring to yourself in the 3rd person?

 

[Black max]

In all reality there just isn't anything that compares to the cqbss. Well worth the money IMO

 

[JSTARSZ]

^^^that is the truth there^^^ You are paying for the use by the Military as they recoup the cost of the R&D for the scope. I have a Trijicon1-8 and it works great. Others listed above will work quite well for a lot less cost than the CQBSS.

I'm sorry... NO!

Kinda reminds me of the old TV commercial: "It's just like a Mercedes..." While the aforementioned $1,000 - $1,500 LPVs may be perfectly adequate for a given purpose they're just not in the same league as the CQBSS. Glass, tracking, quality, reliability... they're just not.
