I have done some research and can't find the perfect scope. I'm building a ar grendel pistol and want it all super light, mil dot reticle, 30 mm tube, and anything over 11 inches just looks way too long, bad reason but anyhow. Idc about sfp vs ffp as long as the mil reticle is correct at max magnification power. Here are some of the models I liked but didn't love:
Viper 1-4 pst , good reticle, would like more magnification
Viper 2.5 -10. Awesome just too long and heavy
Leopold vlx 1.25-4, 3-9. Just about perfect but I'm concerned about price to value proposition. I would probably get one if I could find one for 33% less than the swfa price.
Trijicon acog. Probably what I should go with short and light. I just want a mil reticle and am not excited about paying a dime for a 3x scope. Is there somewhere u can get them for cheap and do they make a mil reticle? They make models for lots of caliber specific trajectories just not for what I'm doing so I guess I would need to plot mine oUT and order the closest one.
Burris mtac 3.5 x 10. A little heavy and a bit high of a low power. and I have never really liked a Burris scope all the other brands mentioned I either own or have used and like.
Nightforce 2.5x10. Another scope I should strongly consider. But it's kinda heav long and pricey but totally worth it. Can I find a mil version on the ee for close or under 1k?
The purpose of the rifle is a truck gun / 300 yard an in deer and hog slayer. I also prefer higher magnification cause I'm not as good of a shot as I should be. But a 3 or 4 power top end shouldn't be a deal breaker cause I can always carry binocs to better aquire and judge animals before I shoot them.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions of other scopes or places where I could find an acog or Leopold for less. Budget is a dimish but I'd love to only spend a 5 ball.
