Thanks Doug! I just ordered one. I forgot to ask if there was any "Hide" or "first responder" discount though. If there is, can you help me with that after the fact?We got a delivery Friday of the Burris RT-6 1-6x24mm - Ballistic AR Illuminated
- Shorter than most 1-4x scopes for quicker, easier handling
- The 6x zoom has true 1x setting for eyes open engagement.
- Ballistic AR™ mil reticle with trajectory compensation out to 600 yards
I'll adjust it when I process itThanks Doug! I just ordered one. I forgot to ask if there was any "Hide" or "first responder" discount though. If there is, can you help me with that after the fact?

Zero won't change. The drops and wind holds will only line up at max power for an SFP. That is the detriment of a SFP.What are some of you guys opinions on a good LPVO for a AR?
Thought about a FFP, but how off would a SFP be if zeroed on max, and everything inside 100 on low? Would it really be that much?

The benefit is a consistent sight picture for the illuminated portion when needed because the reticle never changes.
In a FFP in theses LPVO's the reticle may be so small at 1x that the illumination is absolutely necessary for it to even be usable.
Strong opinions on both sides. I'm in the SFP camp for 1-4x & 1-6x.
I will also say that while the Vortex StrikeEagle and Primary Arms ACSS scopes (they’re the same scope)

I will also say that while the Vortex StrikeEagle and Primary Arms ACSS scopes (they’re the same scope) offer a lot of value, I’ve seen more of those take a crap on the range than any other LPVOs. I don’t like them, and I don’t trust them. The optical quality is poor and they are trash quality. Engaging targets at distance is a chore with them in all but optimal conditions, and there are too many shortcomings for me to ever recommend them.
Sig Tango4 1-4x is a solid deal and IMO the best sub-$500 LPVO on the market. It’s on par with the Steiner P4Xi in glass, durability and illumination, but sub-$500. I’ve personally used one out to 400yds and it was a solid optic that punched above its weight class.
Yeah, the ACSS lower end version that’s the same scope as the Vortex StrikeChicken.I'm assuming you are talking about their lower end SFP versions that are in the $400 ish range?
I've read other reviews saying the optical quality wasn't great.
I've got their higher end FFP version ($1300 range) and that one has excellent optical quality for the price range.
I'll have to check that one out, as I'm looking for something in the 1 pound range for another ultra light AR and not wanting to put a 2 pound + optic on it.
I second this recommendation. I’ve had one since January I picked it up with a 12% off coupon.AR-15 Scopes For Sale | Rifle Scopes | Optics

More than double the OP's budget, but an interesting concept.
FFP the reticle is very useable at 1x without illumination.
But it doesn't have aspirations to be target / benchrest scope.
It's setup to be a patrol / shooting on your feet quickly.
