Going with a 6mm arc upper but looking for a good optic to pair with it. Trying to keep it compact without stepping down to a LPVO

Any suggestions?
 
What length barrel? What are your weight goals? Budget? Max distance you plan to shoot? Hunting, range, or something in the middle?

2k budget - 16" Barrel. The goal is a mid-range rifle with the ability to push out to steel plates at 1000 on occasion. Already have a 6.5 bolt gun for the longer-range play and 13" scar 17 with lpvo for most work closer
 
NX8 and Razor LHT come to mind fast for that setup. I run a LHT 3-15 on my 224 Valkyrie, works out as a nice power range for that type of shooting. if you must have FFP, the 4.5-22 LHT is the only one with it. NX8 is going to be heavier, but you do get a few things for that weight.

3.6-18 MKV HD on 18" barrel

A lot depends on your weight budget.

If you want light weight without optical compromises: Vortex Razor HD-LHT 4.5-22x50.
If you want the shortest available high quality option within your budget: EOTech Vudu 5-25x50.
If you do not need illumination, Leupold Mark5HD 3.6-18x50 non-illuminated is within your budget.

No budget, but weight conscious what do you go with? TT315M? If we ignore compactness, then focus on optomechanics then weight, what do you come up with?
