Rifle Scopes Scope for Cadex Defense 6.5 CM

[DECreedmoor21]

Hi all,

So happy to be making my first post. To give you all some background, I have been shooting for about 5 years now and a friend of mine is getting me into precision rifles and long range shooting. I just bought a Cadex Defense Guardian Tac chambered in 6.5 CM last week and am beyond excited.

Now I need a scope for it. I purchased a CVLife 6-24x50mm and my friend laughed in my face. I use CVLife scopes on my scar 16s and Daniel defense as well as their red dot sights on almost all of my carbines. I have never had trouble being accurate but I know a lot more variables will come into play when shooting past 100-300 yards. Here lies my question: are $3000+ scopes worth it?

If so can anyone recommend what would do best for 600-1000 yards or what are some options I could begin to look into. From peeking around the forum I see a lot of y’all lean towards Nightforce and Vortex. I’m not worried about a budget but if I’m paying for a scope that costs thousands I would just want to make sure I am getting my money’s worth and not just paying for a brand name. I have always leaned towards the highest quality of guns but I always assumed scopes didn’t matter as much.

Thank you for any advice,

Joe

You're kidding on the cvlife scope right?

haha! Same reaction my friend gave me. Not kidding though. I will send pictures of my CVlifes when I get home tonight. Bought a red dot originally for my Kriss Vector and have stuck with the company ever since. Finally looking to branch out I suppose

Found a picture of the 6-24 box in my camera roll in case anyone thought I was joking. Just looking for some help

sorry if I’m a noob

 

[stello1001]

I would honestly recommend an ATACR 5-25...

If your budget does not allow for that, look into the following.

Vortex razor II
Vortex razor I
Vortex viper PST II
Bushnell LRHS
Bushnell LRTS
Bushnell DMR II
Athlon Ares
Athlon Cronus

Im sure any of those will work great for you and be more appropriate on your rifle...

you put a $50 scope on a $5500 rifle?

shit i could have bought two scopes instead of a pair of aadmount scope caps for my NF

get a ATACR 7-35 in MilXT and thank me later

You just bought a 4-5 thousand dollar piece of artwork in craftsmanship. Buy a proper dang scope and mount for it now!

In case anyone thought I was lying haha. Put on the $16 red dot that normally sits on my scar for extra laughs.

I ordered the Nightforce. Should be here by the end of the week! Thank you all for the help! Hopefully it’s great.

also anyone have any bipod recommendations? Have a feeling my knockoff Atlas may not do so great

Quick work on Righting your Wrong so quickly. I think you were let off reeeaaallly easy.

 

[djtommyboy]

I thought he was going to be dinner for about 10 pages.

 

[b6graham]

Altas Cal. a real one.

didn't know they were knocking off the CAL now if the one you have isn't real???

 

[MOUNTIC]

If your going to put a RDS on a Cadex, you at least have to make it an aimpoint. Otherwise your going to get beat up over here on the Hide.

Hell yes! That’s actually pretty awesome man. Good choice on the NF. Let us know what you think when it arrives. I’d shoot it with the red dot once just for the hell of it.

I promise I’ll take a video and send!

 

[djtommyboy]

I’m still in shock ??

Now please get with @Kasey To get a real Atlas to make up for the knockoff.

Have you shot the cadex yet? @DECreedmoor21 ? With the cv life? Im
Curious to know if it can hit at over 500 yards

My $.02 . . . . . adjusted for inflation.

I have a NF ATACR 7-35 with the Mil-XT reticle. It. Is. Amazing. It's also $$$.

I just got the Burris XTR III 5-30 with the SCR2 reticle. It too is an amazing scope. And it's half the price of the NF if you know where to shop.

For up to 1k yards, get the Burris. You'll hardly notice the difference and the eye box / FOV is better on the Burris. With the Burris you'll save some money so you can buy more ammo and shoot the heck out of your new gun. BTW, regardless of which scope you get, get the NF extreme duty ultra light rings.

 

[JakeM]

I promise you, just taking the nightforce out of the box you will see it's 20x better than any $50 scope.

 

[DECreedmoor21]

Okay I admit I was wrong!!!!! This thing is incredible!! I simply cannot believe the clarity haha. The difference in the glass quality insane! Just no comparison!! Thank you all SO MUCH!! Just need my muzzle break to ship and I’ll be all set!!

Anyone have any recommendations for a 1-6x better optic for my Daniel Defense AR? Seems like Trijicon VCOG Or AccuPower are popular? I’m throwing out all my CVLife!!

I am shooting this Sunday for the first time at 600 yards. Will post pics from the range and let you know what I think!

You almost got it right...For God’s sake, please remove and destroy that Burris PEPR mount that once graced your CVwhatever scopes and get some quality rings. Preferably costing more than $80.

I recommend vortex PMR rings, 30mms are $120 from them. If you can't git them before you shoot, shoot to see what your capable of and then mount the good rings on.
