I know these sorts of questions are asked all the time...
scenario: I'm in the market for a LVP for a 16" 308 lightweight gasser that is finally done (I think).
I might use it for a classes, maybe whitetail, mostly shooting paper & steel.
contenders:
Razor 2 1-6. I've been running one for years on my favorite AR.
+ known quantity, lower cost, stellar warranty
- lacks new car smell, SFP, the retical is just OK
Burris XTR2 1-8. I've owned and sold 2 XTR2s made in the Philippines - they were just ok vs. Razor 2s.
+ solid reviews, from people who's opinions I value, lower cost
- I just don't love holdovers unless I am running a specific load that matches. a brand that I have uneven experience with
Nightforce 1-8. no experience
+ tiny, light, super bright dot, it's a Nightforce
- the reticle is just odd for a 1-8
Kahles K16i. no experience
+ the FOV, great reputation
- high cost for a SFP 1-6
Nightforce ATACR 1-8. no experience
+ reticle looks amazing, middle of the road size, it's a nightforce
- cost, I'd have to save a bit longer to afford
Minox ZP8
+ reticle looks solid, reported to have amazing glass
- warranty questions, high cost
Huskemaw 1-6
+ cause Quigley-Ford's LVP is aimed at shotguns & black powder
- just for laughs
not listed:
Trijicon 1-8. had one, sold it, just wasn't for me.
help me make a decision...
