This evening, I decided what Snipers Hide needed was -yet- another newb asking about a scope for their gas gun. I have lurked here for many years and always found the search function and previous threads to answer all my questions. However, before a plunk down a couple grand I figured I would lean in and see what insight y'all might offer. Probably some (lots) of things that haven't crossed my mind. Thanks all, I appreciate your time.
- What is the platform for the scope? 20" WOA SPR upper, Noreen lower, Larue trigger, fixed stock, etc.
- What cartridge are you shooting? .223
- What is your intended use for the scope? Solo: target, steel, and occasional varmints/ predators
- What type of conditions will you typically shoot in? Daylight, lowlight, occasional white light nighttime predator management ~100yards and less.
- What are the typical distances you intend to shoot? As far as it'll go, 800-1k?
- Are there any specific specifications you would like? FFP, Mil, Weight..... to a point, non-horus reticle, not too long.... I think that means 14"?
- What is the price range you can afford? Around $2k, but I can spend/save more if need be.
- Currently looking at Steiner T6xi 3-18 MSR2 and Leupold MK5 3.6-18 PR1, Leaning towards the Steiner.
- ZEISS LRP S3 4-25 Found a couple good deals on these, but with Christmas tree reticles.
- March F Tactical 3-24, Kahles K318i 3.5-18 These two are in the I need to spend/ save more category
