Well I figured I would give it a shot here I just got the new Ambush firearms (Daniel Defense) 6.8 spc with 1-10 twist and I am looking to top it with some glass that will not keep me from getting a fast target acquisition, any help would be appreciated.

By the way I am a newby here my first post!

Aimpoint 2moa if you are doing close in work...

1-4 if you are doing close medium range work...

2.5-10 if you are going out to 500+

I agree with RF. I personally like the TA31F. I have a bias though, I was issued one in 06 and purchased one for myself. For me it's a great all around optic, for me. I highly recommend trying one out, you might find it to be just what you need/want.

-I see TA31's going for $750-$800 on this forum quite often.

You mentioned speed and a few hundred yards. While not a supreme paper puncher, a magnified red dot works great at the Camp Perry pop-up range. Also take time to learn how well YOUR head can see both eyes open thru a magnified scope. Everybody varies a bit here, usually 2-4x being the max. But being able to find a target with both eyes and then focus on the reticle detail is mighty handy.

Cpl. Turley,

You might want to check out our SN-4 1.5-6x (http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/240372/SN-4_6x.pdf).

Frank did a video review on this scope not too long ago that can be viewed here: http://www.snipershide.com/2010/10/uso-sn4/

This little optic is rugged, compact, and works very well from 50yds-500yds.

I got the Ambush as well. I will be strictly using mine for hunting. Ive mounted it with a Pentax 4x12x40 and their Red dot sight as well. I have a question for you though. What ammo are you using?? Mine will only allow SSA ammo through it. They are a tactical spec-ii load. I tried using Hornady Vmax 110 and it would not fire. Contacted DD/Ambush and was told to use Spec-II. That solved the problem for me.
