Case use- defensive rifle with 500 yard capability. Will be running it with a red dot. $1200-$1500 range.
Under consideration:

Leupold Mark 4HD 2.5-10x42 FFP TMR reticle

Steiner T6Xi 2.5-15x50 FFP SCR reticle

EOTECH Vudu 3-9x32 SFP (least likely candidate but I like the size and weight)

Trijicon Credo 2-10x36 MRAD Precision Tree reticle

Just looking for opinions and/or alternative suggestions.

Thanks​

I’d pick the mk4 out of what’s listed. Good optics. Steiner is good too, just heavy. My main complaint with the mk4 is the TMR reticle in FFP is kinda fat at 10x. I didn’t dislike it enough to prevent me from getting a mk5 with a FFP TMR reticle, but it’s worth noting. Honestly on a mk4, I wouldn’t be opposed with a SFP because the reticle is finer and the reality is 10x isn’t “too much” so you’ll likely turn the optic into a 3 OR 10x vs a 3-10
