Looking for a scope with a mag range on the low end of 2x and the high end as high as 15x. SFP or FFP I guess in my eyes it depends on the magnification. I'd like to buy something made in Philippines, Japan, USA. A MOA or MIL reticle is a must.

Biggest thing though for me though is something durable that can hold zero wile being bumped around and used.

So with that looking for input on what I've researched and chosen as options or maybe I've missed one.

Nightforce shv 2-10 moar
Vortex viper pst ii 2-10 or 3-15
Trijicon credo 2-10
Sig tango 4 4-14 DEV-L
Leupold Mark 3HD 4-12 tmr

I had a PA GLX 2.5-10 Griffin Mil on the rifle but sold it, I just didn't like the Chevron aiming point loved the rest of the reticle.


Thanks for any input
 
Meopta Optika 6 3-18 (I know you said 2x is min) is a great option.

Hate how thick the TMR reticle is on the Leupolds.
 
Nightforce SHV 4-14 is pretty bad ass for the price. The Sig tango 4 in the same mag range is pretty blah...
If 10x is high enough, the 10x SHV is also a great choice.
