Rifle Scopes LMT MWS Optics Selection (2020)

[Pugster]

Hi All,

I have a LMT MWS that I need to add a scope. I would like the scope to meet the specs below:

• Platform: LMT MWS .308 with 16” barrel
• Shooting Types: 90% Target+Steel, 10% PRS
• Shooting Conditions: Daylight, Lowlight
• Shooting Distances: 0-500 Yards
• Reticle: Daylight bright illuminated reticle, Open to either MOA/MIL, Floating Center reticle
• Focal Plane: FFP
• Tube: Prefer 30mm. Okay with 34mm
• Budget: ~$1000

After some research, I am left with the following picks:

• #1: Meopta Optika6 3-18x56FFP (MRAD1)
• #2: Brownell MPO 3-18x50
• #3: Bushnell LRTS 4.5 – 18x44
• #4: Steiner P4xi 4-16x56
• #5: Vortex PST G2 3-15x44 (EBR-7C)

I am having a hard time picking out a good choice. Since this is a difficult decision for me, I would like to defer to others that have more optical experience and knowledge.

Please feel free to comment on the existing choices or to recommend others that I haven’t considered yet. I thank everyone in advance for your advice and feedback.

With the deal for the Steiner@cameralandny/grateful doug my choice would be the Steiner as long as the reticle fits your needs!

Is there a special deal going on with these other than what the website lists? I’m also looking for a scope and my needs are all the same.

Trying to locate the deal he is describing. Is it the one listed on your website or is it an exclusive to members here?

I believe they're referring to the Steiner P4Xi 4-16x56 - SCR

Steiner 1st, or the Vortex. Or pre-order the NEW Strike Eagle 5-25x56.

I would look hard at the Bushnell. Better glass, Better Reticle Better tracking and made in JAPAN by LOW. I have 3 of these mounted on various rifles and they cannot be beat for the money (6.5G, 300WM, 5.56)
