looking for a budget optic for my remington 5r 308. i have been looking at the wotac 10x and the falcon ffp scopes any help would be appreciated. and yes i have used the search option but still having a tough time deciding. looking to spend below $500
 
Re: budget optic

A shooter showed up at a recent Rifles Only class with a scope clearly unsuitable for that activity. We replaced it with a fixed 10 Super Sniper we had on hand, and he shot very well using it. Having a mil reticle and 0.1 mil clicks made everything very easy for him, and he had no trouble with the scope shooting targets out to 1000 yards.

I have a friend that has a 5r with a Millett LRS-1, 6-25x56 with a 35mm tube. Its on sale now for 419.00 with rings. IMO, the scope was very clear and tracked very well from 100 to 500 yards throughout the day. It has a mil dot reticle with half mil hash lines which I thought was very nice.

Here is another plug for the Explore Optics 4-16x50mm TTMD for $279 from a dealer buddy of mine.

It is the scope that I use, and I absolutely LOVE the thing!!
