i have the vortex viper 6-20 and am very happy with it; glass is good, turrets are positive, and a 30mm tube

Go for the Viper, it's a great scope. The Millets are real hit-and-miss (I missed twice in a row and finally just returned mine), and the Leupolds are OK but not as good a value in the price range you're talking.

Re: vortex viper vs millett lrs-1 vs leupold mark ar
I have no experience with the Millet but have used the Leupold AR and own the Vortex you are looking at. I would go with the Vortex. I have the BDC or what ever they call it on a RRA Varminter and the cross hairs are a little thick for Prairie Dogs but OK for larger Varmints. Check their web site on reticule choices. Vortex offers a great value.

What type of ar? 15 or a 10? Profile m4, heavy barrel, length 16"? I have a Bushnell 1-4x24 on a 16" h-bar it works great, I have a Millett trs-1 on my rem 700, it is great for the price and so far have had good luck with it out to 625 yrds.

The only reason I got rid of my Vortex was the crosshairs are pretty thick, other then that I would buy one before the other two
