Rifle Scopes Can't find a decent compact x-10 with mil/mil?

[ScarBliss]

I've been trying to find suitable glass for my scar 17 to run with an offset MRDS since I'm sick of waiting for the S&B 1-8, and I can't find any decent compact optic with mil/mil setup. NXS 2.5-10x24 was my first choice but I can't find one period, and even the larger 2.5-10x32 seems to only come in mil/moa rather than mil/mil, unless I spring for a $1650+ version I saw on euro optic that isn't even my ideal setup anyways and a bit more than I wanted to spend on an optic that isn't even my first choice (I am sticking strictly to used if possible for the NF since the x32 is NOT what I want but unfortunately seems to be my best option out there unless I am missing something.)

I was considering just getting an S&B 3-12 or 4-16 but both of those are so large that they make the scar look pretty ridiculous and limit my mounting options very badly in terms of how comfortable it will be for me to shoot with that large bell. Does anyone know of some other optic out there that I am missing? I'm willing to spend up to $3000 for a 1-8+ flavor, and about $1500 for a X-10. I've looked at the leupold but for the price of the horus version and the heft of it I wasn't a big fan, and IOR is out of the question for several reasons.

Super sniper 3-9, leupold patrol 3-9, vortex pst 2.5-10, IOR 2.5-10, pretty sure there is a Leupold as well.

I have a 2.5-10 Vortex Viper PST on my LMT MWS that I am very happy with for the money spent. Picked it up from CS Tactical for under $600. And it does every thing I need it to, MIL/MIL, nice glass, tracks perfect w/ repeatable return to zero, and illuminated reticle. At first I wanted a NightForce because I have 2 others (3.5-15 and 5.5-22)and love them, but just could not stomach spending that much cash and have not looked back. The only thing I wish it had was adjustable paralax.

Same here. I'm very pleased with my 2.5-10 Vortex Viper PST.

What about the S&B Fixed 10X? I'm running it on a Mk12 and couldn't be happier. I sold my 2.5-10X24 Nightforce for this scope and don't regret it. Simple, rugged, and everything you would like about S&B for less than 2K. You can find them used for about 1,600 if price is the issue.

......on sale for $299 can not be beat. Never really thought of the SCAR17 as a dedicated precision platform, so for the same money or less I would buy a TA11 series ACOG with QD mount and the Weaver with QD mount.

How about something more exotic like a March tactical 3x24x42?

It's a verry compact model mil/mil, top of the line and in your budget.

Check out this review (it's also somewhere on the hide)

Review top end scopes

I am awaiting mine, the vendor just needs a exportlicense in my case.

March on a AR15 (with sunshade) it's just 12 inches

Can't wait.

If you want a Nightforce, there is one for sale on Texas gun talk. It is in the options and accessories section. It is not mine and I DO NOT know the seller.

It states that it is: <span style="font-weight: bold">2.5-10 Nightforce with NP-R2 reticle</span>

1500 in a larue mount 1300 without a mount. Includes a cattail.

Good luck.

Not the mil/mil config the OP is looking for...

I may see if I can find someone with a fixed 10x S&B locally and see how I feel about that, great suggestion I actually hadn't thought of it. I wish they would stop teasing us and just release the damn 1-8 or confirm its demise, it's torturous.

Cabela's has a few Nightforce 2.5-10x32, mil dot, .1 mil dials, with the zero stop option in stock. Their price is $1629 ($2 more than list price at optics dealers but they have them in stock) and they are offering $2 shipping thru Father's Day.

Sightron SIII LR 3.5-10x44 LRMD/CM This scope gets no love at all but the glass, reticle travel, and tracking are all best in class, a super scope that is right at home on an AR
