Considered a newbie in riflescope applications; I have an on-going AR-15 SPR-18" build. Most shooting will be on square range, with occasional off-range ones. Range is between 50-500y. I'm leaning on getting a reticle with BDC capability.
<span style="font-style: italic">I have an IOR 1.1-4x26 with CQB ret. I've been satisfied with the clarity.</span>
I'm considering these medium-magnification IOR for the SPR :
> IOR 2.5-10x42 Hunting 30mm Rifle Scope with illum HR5 $975
> IOR 2.5-10x42 Tactical 30mm Rifle Scope with illum MP-8 $1040
> IOR 2-12x32 Tactical 35mm Rifle Scope with ilum MP-8 $1275
Do they have the same glass quality/clarity?
Are there better options? How about less expensive and lightweight (1") :
> Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 with Rapid-Z ($750+)
> or Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 with Boone&Crockett ($575). I don't like the extra eye relief of the hunting Leupy.
> equivalent Mark IV perhaps?
What are my other possible option?
In the 'mid-future', this scope may also ride on a CZ 308; so recoil issues will have to be consider.
