Between 4 options…

[Val84]

Hey guys, I’m trying to pick between the following 4 scopes for my SPR build. I’d like something not only capable, but super solid because I’m not that gentle on my gear. Please let me know which you’d run. If you have better options around the $1,500 range, please share.


Vortex Razor HD Gen II 3-18x50

Burris Xtreme Tactical XTR III 5.5-30x56

Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56

Leupold Mark 4HD 4.5-18x52

I'd take the Steiner.

However, not dropping your rifle on the scope repeatedly is a good place to start in the reliability. If you can't manage that, I'd be looking at vortex for their warranty. Everything breaks if you try hard enough.

Yeah, I don’t mean I’d drop it on the scope repeatedly. I just don’t baby my equipment. These companies claim to make tactical equipment for harsh environments, so I just expect them to survive use they would get from a deployed service member.

What makes you go with the Steiner? Is almost double the cost equivalent to the improved performance?
