Newbie looking for the right scope

[Nocatchem]

Hey all, thanks for responding. With in a few weeks I will be receiving my JP enterprise LRP -07 6.5 creedmoor. I need help on how to tell my wife. Hahha, a lot of truth said in jest. I am struggling on the right scope. I a review, it was suggested to get Schmidt and bender 5x25/50 ultra short. They are pricey. I am for a more affordable alternative. Any suggests with some links.

I would give the Vortex Viper PST Gen II a serious look. I have one with the EBR-2C reticle on my 6,5 AR. It’s not the Razor, but it’s a goood scope.

Any Scope thats made in Japan is a good start ... most of the Higher end stuff for Vortex, Nightforce and Leupold are made in Japan by premiere optics companies ... You just need to decide which company offers the features you want.

I always recommend Sightron SIII series for those who are on a budget. IMO the best bang for the buck out there. Made in Japan.

Schmidt makes great stuff but your paying for their booming economy. If you want to keep Americans working the Vortex AMG ...

Thanks nfngun. I appreciate your time and direction. Do you have any thoughts on the Horus reticle?

Thanks Christopher.dow, that's a great recommendation. I appreciate your quick response.

Congratulations on your JP purchase. You will enjoy that rifle.
It's my opinion a rifle of that quality deserves scope of high quality. I'd be looking at something from S&B or a NF ATACR of your perfered power range if it were me.
As to your question about a Horus reticle, I personally prefer the TReMoR3 but a H59 would do the job as well.

Thanks a ton! I am wanting to invest in a nice scope. On the snipers hide review he really liked the S&B 5-25x50 ultra short for a semi automatic rifle, was a good match. I’m pretty much target shooting at distance. I went to observe my first 1000 yard match this weekend, I did not see any semi auto there. Also, you are nice to respond. Thanks

Choosing an optic is very frustrating, I just about put my head through a wall deciding on and optic for my recent ar build. And it seemed like my budget just kept going up. If you want an ultra short the new kahles k318i is really nice and I like the look, features and reticles of the zco420.

I have a Bushnell Elite DMR2 as well as a Vortex viper PST gen 2 5-25x50 ffp for sale if your interested. Both would be perfect for what you want and 1/3 of the price of the S&B ultra short.
