I have a set of 1" ARC rings that seemingly no one wants. Eventually Ill have a 300 black out ruger ranch that will need a scope, Im thinking it will be a short range hunting rifle for guests or kids. I was planning moving a talos btr onto it from my 22 and getting a 1" target scope for the 22 or getting a swfa 10x but thats leaves me with these rings unused still.
If I move the talos btr onto the ranch then I want a higher mag scope for the 22. If I get a scope straight for the blackout I would be fine with something around 10x but more is always better, I will probably just go with straight for the blackout.
So what are some good 1" scopes so I can make use of these rings. I went and looked for a vx2 to see if there were any clearances still but those are all gone, Ive seen the vx freedom scopes and they look alright. I like that the AR version has an external dial and the tmr reticle but it doesnt have a zero stop that I can tell, I think the cds model they have has a zero stop but its a plain duplex. I wish they had a 4-12 model with the turrets. $200-300
The vortex diamondback tactical actually comes in a 4-12 with a moa reticle and exposed turrets but it doesnt seem to have a zero stop and Im skeptical of vortex low end stuff. And the big windage turret looks like it would easily lead to an errant shot, dont want a newbie to accidentally turn it or anything and the lift up and rezero aspect concerns me as well. $300
Weaver grandslam tactical 3-10 has good reviews, has a mildot reticle and exposed turrets. But they are the big ones and the same concerns about getting bumped as the diamondback. $200
The lack of a built in zero stop would be alright if I cold make a stake of washers serviceable like the athlon or swfa systems do.
Im really not wanting to dump a lot of money into this one. I just cant help but feel like maybe the 4.5-27 midas thats getting cleared out by cameraland would be best to go on the 22 and then just putting the talos btr on the blackout but I dont like having 150 bucks tied up in these rings just to sit on the shelf. They look too good for that.
