Optic for Ar-15 "SPR/DMR" build

[Secant]

Obviously that bent one is a counterfeit

Plot twist: someone put that optic in the drier not the ups box

So I should have revisited this page a long time ago for updates but I completely pivoted on my original idea for this set up. I ended up selling/abandoning the idea of a 5.56 spr/dmr and bought an AR-10 .308 with an 18" barrel. After much research and deliberation I ended up going with the Vortex LHT 4.5-22x50 and an offset 509t in an arisaka mount. Got some stuff left to put on it but after I do I'll post some pictures. Thanks again for all those who chimed in.

Ahhh. I did skim that thread already, mine has some dirt on it from negligently knocking over my rifle a few times already, haha. Haven't seen any zero shift but will let this thread know if I do.

No pretensions of SPR, just a 20" barreled (.223 Wylde) AR-15 which has my vote for the Vortex Venom 3 -15 X 50. I went with a 20" barrel in order to get the sight radius for a set of Ultradyne irons, necessitating QD scope mounts.
