Good value (sub $1k) scope for a match barrel AR?

[SecondsCount]

My 6.5 Grendel has the Burris XTRii 3-15x50, and it’s outstanding. The glass is bright and crisp. Way better than I expected for a ‘cheaper’ scope. Very rugged construction as well.

FFP is about more than calculating bullet drop. I use a FFP Mil reticle for wind holds, moving targets, and correcting for misses.

This is a good choice. They are a little on the heavy side for what they are but I run a 5-25 SCR MIL version and have shot out to 900 yards with it on 12X.

The Vortex PST line that ranger mentioned is good, just a little dated for what it is. I'm seeing them on clearance at a couple places for under $700

I'll throw one more in the mix and that is Cabela's Covenant line. They are made in China but I have a couple and a guy I shoot with has one. They go on sale once in a while for under $300 but perform much better than the price point. FFP, tree style reticle, side focus, and 30mm one piece tube. The only downside I have seen with them is that if you like to dial, they may take a shot to settle in. I use the tree reticle to hold so it has never been an issue.

If you are willing to buy used, and weight is not an issue, the Night Night Force SHV line can be found in the $700 to $900 range. With the MILR and MOAR reticles.

I have the 4-14x on my Bergera and have been very pleased with it.

I've got a variant of the Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 on my Grendel. It's been a good value for the money and has the feature set I wanted.
