Rifle Scopes Scope for AR

[Klemm]

Looking for a scope for a long range AR-15 in .223. 26” krieger barrel throated for 77 gr SMK.
Also a AR-10 in .308. .26” krieger barrel throated for .175 SMK.
I would like to buy just one if possible.
Rifles will be used on steel only.

I was thinking of a Night Force SHV.

I'm looking for the same thing. I don't like the reticle on the shv

I have a 3-12x44 bushnell lrhs on my AR. Pretty happy with the size and the glass is nice also.

Started with a NXS 2.5-10x32. Nice compact scope but wanted more magnification for precision work. Next went to a Bushnell LRTSi 4-18, nice glass but reticle was just a little thick on max power. Ended up with an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29x56. My search is over, great glass, nice reticle...plenty of magnification. On my range days where I brought 2 long guns, the Cronus on a .223 JP gas gun and an AMG on a 6.5CM...I usually shot the JP/Cronus first. When switching to the 6.5CM/AMG....I would actually be disappointed with the AMG image. Don't get me wrong, the AMG is a great scope with high end features.....but I liked the Cronus better. Sold the AMG for a 2nd Cronus.

Another great option would be the Nightforce ATACR 4-16x42 FFP, give us a call at 916.670.1103 for hide pricing http://bit.ly/2fTA5rL

Crap, I have the Cronus BTR and wanting the AMG. Wish we could have worked out a trade

I am wanting a little more power. I do a lot of prairie dog shooting

I would like something that can see a 2 inch target at 600 yards

Every now and then you can find a USO ST-10 for a steal on the Exchange. Easily got me to 1000 yards.

Whats your budget?

I am not familiar with US Optics. I can't find much information about them. Are they any good?

Fantastic company. First class service and have nothing but good things to say about their team. Have been based in California but moving to Montana I believe?

Their scopes hang with the alphas. USO has been in the custom scope making since the get go but saw some common customizations and now offer a handful of “off-the-shelf” offerings. If you want a truly customized scope, their the ones to do it for you. I would take USO over nightforce, unless you like the ATACR series. Those are very comparable. USO is known for making some of the toughest scopes money can buy. Ruggedness is unmatched.
