AR10 Scope Recommendations
« on: March 24, 2020, 09:55:22 AM »
Looking for recommendations for a scope for an AR10.  The longest distance I'll most likely be using it is a couple hundred yards.  I don't want to go cheap, but there's really no need for anything super high end at the distance I'll be shooting.  What have you had good and bad experiences with?

What magnification are you wanting?  556 or other caliber?

I mostly use .308 in this one.  Occasionally burn up some 7.62 with it.  As far as magnification, I'm not interested in being Mr Fudd with a 400x magnification and eight inch lens diameter.  I don't need a telescope for 250 yards.  I prefer the "keep it simple" approach.

What kind of reticle do you want and what magnification range are you thinking.  That will help narrow the field of options down some.

What are you thinking for budget?  To some people my $1000 optic is really expensive while others consider it a cheap budget friendly optic.

For a .308, old school Art2 or ART4, or a newer variant.

Budget? What's the rifle like? We talking a shorter version or a longer barreled heavy beast? Plan on sticking with shorter distances or possibly opening it up if you get the chance? Having extra magnification and not needing it is better than needing and not having it.
