Hi forum members,
Glad to have found this forum!
I am in the market for 1-4X or 1-6X variable zoom scopes. The scope will be used for CQG, target out to 500 yrs, and small game hunting applications and will fit either on an AR-15 platform or a Steyr AUG. Criteria for scope has to be generous eye relief and clarity. I am not familiar with reticle types so I am open to all designs as long as it gets the job done.
As a LE/MIL, I have access to Leupold's generous pricing and looking closely at the Mark 6 1-6X20mm for $1403. I did look at the Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3X14mm (Gander Mountain $999) recently to sample Leupold's optics and was disappointed at the eye relief so I am concerned about the Leupold line.
I have narrowed my choices to the following:
1. Mark 6 1-6X20mm for $1403
2. Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6x24mm $1899 (may purchase if discounted)
3. Vortex Razor HD 1-4x24mm $1599
4. Vortex Viper VST 1-4x30mm $599
5. SWFA SS HD 1-6x24 Tactical 30mm $999
6. Trijicon Accupoint 1-4X TR-24 $1000
7. Burris TAC30 1-4X $300
I am open to other brands as long as the eye relief is generous and glass is clear.
Thanks!
