It looks like the X series has the 95% light transmission, good stuff ! Another selling point for me in the Nikons is they consistently
seem to offer more eye relief.

Evo has a good point as well, I really like my TR21-R on my Armalite middy with 12" DD rail.

I just saw your rifle pic, mine looks similiar to yours, great taste Rampy thumb.gif !!


Shooting out to 1K I would look at the 4.5-14 series, of course that's just me.

The Sightron II & III series are also very good for the money, but the resale isn't there (not popular enough).

Was looking for a scope around the 2.5-10 power range (don't really like the 3x9 scopes) so the AR can be used close in and distance as well, trying to take the AR and make it a multi tasking AR instead of a single purpose AR if ya know what I mean.

have a 10 power scope on the 308 PSS and it works fine at 600 yards, but will be pushing it at 1k yards.

Would love to have a nightforce scope, but can't justify that cost......

Try the Leupold Mark 4, Mark 2 and Mark AR line. The Mark AR line is more in the price range of the SS's

Have also been looking at the Leupold MK4 MR/T with the SPR reticle but not sure if I'd want the 1.5-5 or the 2.5-8 one.

http://www2.leupold.com/products/reticles_SPR.htm

http://www.leupold.com/tactical/products/s...rt-riflescopes/

The original Army SPR used a NightForce 2.5-10, but the Marines have a SAM-R rifle with Leupold's Mark 4 MR/T 3-9x 36mm scope.....

ARGH, how I hate buying stuff over the web when ya can't feel/play/fondle it up close and personal.......

I need some practice, but I was hitting hog-size targets at about 350-450 meters and penetrating steel with 5.56 using an ACOG TA31F last Saturday.

Have you used a scope with side parallax adjustment like the Nixon has, before Rampy? I think your about my age and I promise you. Once you hit 40 and your eyes head toward "need bi-focals" territory. That side parallax adjustment will make you want to throw rocks at that SuperSniper.

Nope have never seen a scope up close and in person with the "side parallax adjustment" and I'm closer to 50 than 40 & wear bifocals..... sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif

That's another reason I'm looking for stronger magnification, my old eyes ain't what they once were and they ain't getting any better.....

Been reading good stuff about the Millett TRS-1 4x16x50 scope & so far I've not had a bit of trouble with the Millett DMS....

All I know is that the Millett's are made by Hako and that they are the same scope that used to be the Springfield Armory branded scopes a few years back.

While lots of the scope purist, glass snobs will turn up their nose at Hako. I always thought they were a pretty good deal for the money. I think I'd get the non illuminated model as the illuminated plex on the higher powered Hako scopes ( 3x9 and above ) is kind of cheesy and to large when illuminated to really be useful.

The only difference between that Nikon and that Nightforce you were talking about earlier is an additional $1000.00 and a tacticooler sounding name.

And it's the most expensive....

Ahh, I'm sure the glass and quality of construction plays a big part, but they are not worth it to me...

Have been looking at the Monarch X 4-16x50 but it's quite a bit more expensive and way over my budget........

Hmmmm...Ok. Let me think about what I'd do in cheap bastiage mode in the current market. It'd be hard to beat those Milletts on the low end of $500.00.

Burris makes some pretty decent lower priced scopes.

How much do you ACTUALLY want to spend?

Ahhh, that's the issue, according to the checkbook (Mrs Rampy) can't spend anything & I've got to "justify" the scope to the checkbook somehow....I know to get quality ya have to, thus the rub, I'm a gear whore and have a hard time settling for anything other than the best & thus want quality but at a cheap price.... doh.gif doh.gif

http://www.bigrivertactical.com/Millett_Scopes.html has the Millett TRS-1 4-16X50 Illuminated Mil Dot for $299.95 and that will be much easier for the checkbook to swallow than a $600 scope, but the scope needs to be able to take some abuse and maintain a zero......
