Rifle Scopes Can't decide on an optic for my GAP 6mm Creedmoor

[platapus]

I should be taking delivery of my Gap 6mm Creedmoor very soon and I can't decide on a scope. I have a couple of NSX mil/mil and a MK 4 ER/T mil/mil ffp and I really have no preference from sfp to ffp. I have looked at tons of scopes and am hung up on the Nightforce F1, ATACR, and the Steiner Tactical w/MSR. I am primarily a hunter and love to shoot. I do like illumination as I have made some low light shots on game that would have been a real challenge with out it. I have no intentions of shooting matches but do like to reach out to a 1000 now and then.

Help a brother out, which one? What do you guys with the similar set up and shooting interests have on yours?

Thanks

Well if you don't mind sfp that 2.5-10x42 Nightforce is popular. Check out the thread about the new GAP and Bushnell collaboration, but that one isn't illuminated. March's 3-24 and Premier LT always gets mentioned when the conversation turns to long range hunting scopes. If you don't mind a few extra ozs I'd just shoot one of those nxs's.

ATACR would be a pretty solid choice if it is mainly going to be used for hunting and being used for some longer range shots.

I'm very partial to the Premier Light Tactical as it pertains to a crossover hunting/tactical rifle scope. Great scope with excellent features for the price.

We have several in stock and available for immediate delivery. Give me a call and we can talk pricing and specifics.

I'm considering trying out the new SHV 4-14x56 from Nightforce for an upcoming build. $1100ish illuminated for Nightforce glass and reputation seems very tempting to me. 28 oz is pretty decent for an illuminated 56mm tactical scope. I do prefer mils, but I like the MOAR reticle really well. If 10x would be enough, the '42' has received glowing reports so far and is definitely on my radar.

I just bought a F1 and couldn't be happier. It's not real bulky and has 110 moa of adjustment, which came out to 78 moa after zeroing at a 100. That was on A GDI 25moa mount. In the end it was down to a S&B, Vortex, and the Nightforce. And for me IT came down to reliability, then features, then glass. And the Glass is great, don't let the bs artist full you. I had a half blind friend shot it, and at 200 yds on his first shot he hit a dead bullseye. Being made in USA didn't hurt either.

Guys, thanks for the replies. I went w/ a Stiener 4 - 16x50 G2 MD. I think I made a good choice and got a good deal.

Thanks again

The Steiner is a very good choice. Their recent sales and discounts are really moving a lot of scopes. Congratulations and enjoy a fine piece of German made engineering!!

Not sure if serious about putting a lump on top of a hunting rifle..

Sounds like the IOR 3.5-18X50 is just what you need, comes in around 2000 dollars. Digital illumination in two colors. It's a Killer, the real deal. Get ahold of Paul at Texas combat sghooters. he'll hook you up.

Thankfully, the OP already got what he needed.
