Background on the setup, its a Sig 716, and lately ive been doing a lot of 700-800 meter shooting and using a CMR 1-4x. Problem is the elevation is maxed out at 750 meters so im having to use the reticle for anything beyond that, and I cant see 1,000 meters with the 1-4, so I thought maybe a 1-6 or 1-8 if they exist would fix the issue. I have a couple bolt action guns I use with "real" scopes on them, and this is more of my close quarters gun that I just seem to have a blast with at a distance because its so easy to shoot, the low magnification allows me to literally watch the target to see if it hits (spotter verified of course) and with Hornady 168 Amax its just effortless fun.
The only 1-6x I was able to find was the Leupold for $2,000, and their 1-8x is actually a 1.25 where I prefer a true 1x so I can use the illuminated reticle with both eyes open like a red dot. Anyone else know of a scope that would satisfy what im looking for? I have offset Irons already, and figure worst comes to worse I can toss an offset micro red dot and do a 3-10x, but the purpose of this gun was close quarters or medium range targets, I just thought it would be fun to be able to do 1,000 meters with the same scope.
