I got Burris’s “budget” Tac30 1-4x24mm scope for my AR and am very happy with it and with Burris’s customer service. I used and abused it at a 10K Run n Gun biathlon last month. In the process, it got scratched and banged up while climbing obstacles and crawling through two muddy steel culverts. The lenses got mud smeared while crawling through the mud, but I was still able to hit a 500 yard gong twice during the distance stage. In the end, I managed to lose a turret cap on the course, probably while I was crawling in the mud. When I asked Burris to sell me a spare cap, they offered instead to mail me a free one. Needless to say I was impressed!PriestTheRunner wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 4:28 pm
I stand by my sentiment.
Personally, I have the Burris 1x6: https://www.burrisoptics.com/scopes/rt- ... e-1-6x24mm and like it a lot.
The Trijicon is very tempting though, but I would get the Open horseshoe .308 ballistic reticle. This one: https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products ... -C-1600005

Re: AR Scope Suggestions
I was looking at that one as well.n5wmk wrote:Thanks, everyone. I've decided on the Nikon P223 per cmgee67's recommendation. I have a Nikon on my Rem 700CDL in .25-06, and really like the Nikon quality. The Vortex Strike Eagle looks really nice, but that's a bit more that I wanted to spend, and I would have had to get another mount for it. The Nikon has a 1" tube, same as my current scope, so I can reuse the existing mount. Ordered the Nikon from Midway, should arrive Tuesday.

Re: AR Scope Suggestions
Which VX-2 do you have? The 1-4x20mm? I just ordered that one for my 16” AR15 and am anxious to see how it works for me at 200 yds.mupepe wrote:What's your budget? I use a Leupold vx-2 on one of my AR's and a Redfield Revolution on another. I used both out to 300 but I'm currently trying to get better at 200 and they work great there. I got the Leupold for $200 and the revolution for $100
