I have an FN SPR A1 that I am wanting to upgrade glass on. I have it narrowed down to 3 choices but keep going back and forth.I want an MOA reticle, FFP, and 6-24x 0r 5-20x.
This will mainly be used to shoot paper and steel from 400-1760yards but don't want it to be unusable for 100-400yard shots on coyotes or deer at dawn or dusk. I chose 308 bc I want it to be challenging and I figure if I learn on a 308, later on when I upgrade to a 260, 284 or 338 it should be a piece of cake.
1. Viper HS with XLR FFP 6-24x
Pros:
Great reticle
lower cost leaving room for other upgrades
Cons:
no Illumination
capped windage turret
Does anyone have experiance using this scope in a lowlight (dusk or dawn) hunting situation? I need to be able to see the reticle at 6x in this situation.
2.Viper PST EBR-1 FFP 6-24x
Pros:
exposed windage and elev. turrets
Illuminated
lower cost leaving room for other upgrades
Cons:
decent reticle, but leaves me wanting more
3. Razor HD EBR-2B FFP 5-20x
Pros:
Great reticle!!
illuminated
Great turrets
built like a tank
Cons:
almost double the price
pretty heavy
It pretty much boils down to, do I buck up and drain my firearm funds for a while or go with a lesser scope in order to do other upgrades to the rifle like bedding, atlas bipod etc.???
