Just like the title says ,opinions and suggestions on current 1-4 and 1-6 power optic choices.
I am really interested in the trijicon accupower right now. I have been mostly debating between the trijicon and nightforce offerings.
SWFA has a really nice 1-6x illuminated for right at $1000.
Im personally interested in one for my version/vision of a "general purpose AR-15" and later down the road a .308 battle rifle.
My next purchase will most likely be a 1-6x leupy multigun optic. I just finished a review on a USO SR8c (1-8x) and I have owned other 1-4x optics (currently have an SR4c). It depends on what you want out of the optic and for what reason you need it.
I have experience with three - The Millet 1-4x DMS, a Burris 1-4x TAC30, and the older Vortex 1-4x Razor.
The Millet was literally crap right out of the box. The scope cap fell off when I was unpacking it and would not thread back on. It was returned immediately and I purchased the Burris. For the money spent, the Burris has held up really well. It was on my "do-all" carbine for 4 years and is now on my wife's carbine. The glass is clear but not what a higher ended scope like the Vortex Razor, Nightforce, Leupold, etc. offer.
The Vortex was purchased used. It had seen a lot of use on a 3-gun rifle and it has been on my carbine for a year and a half without any issues.
I see a lot of the Vortex Viper 1-4 PST models at 3-gun matches and they seem to be holding up well.
If I could find a decent deal on a good 1-6 or 1-8x then I would probably do the upgrade.
