Have a sweet, lightweight AR10 build in 6.5 Creedmoor. I plan to hunt, compete, and shoot ELR (out to 1200 yards). I have a Primary Arms Slx Apollo on it now and though i love the speed of hits with a slaved Radius rangefinder, I have really been disappointed with the glass.

Following are key features I'd like in the scope:
  • Relatively Lightweight - must be less than 30 ounces, preferably closer to 22
  • Tree Reticle
  • Great Glass
  • 3-5 low end Magnification
  • 18+ top end magnification
  • FFP
  • Ideally, a tiny middle dot
  • Prefer to spend less than more, but willing to pay for quality/performance differences - $1k-$2kish
  • Zero Stop
Of the list above, I have the LHT on an 18" 6mm ARC and really like it. However, I don't love the shiny finish nor the mushy turrets, or limited elevation after installing zero stop for use on the AR10. Kinda silly reasons I suppose.

Love to know thoughts from those with experience/preferences!
