    Scope Suggestions - Grendel

    I have a nice little Grendel that needs a scope, something perhaps a little more than the usual hunting rifle 3x9. It's primarily a pig/coyote rifle, but it would be nice to try some long range target shooting as well. Seems like I should be able to find something really nice with a budget in the $1,200 range.

    Any thoughts?

    I have a Burris XTR 2 3-15x50 on my Grendel. I’ve made consistent hits with it out to 1150yds. The scope is very crisp and bright. Excellent sub $1k optic.

    OP: do you want to err on the side of more or less mag? For 2-10, I like my Trijicon Credo; for 3-15 I think the Viper PST is hard to beat for the price.

    Thank you all for the suggestions. I went with the Viper PST 3x15 instead of the 2x10. Sportsman's Guide had them in stock along with scope mounts.

    Nice. I have the PST Gen II 3-15 on my 20" varmint AR. It's a really nice scope for the money. The best of the PST Gen 2 lineup, IMO.

    I am excited. And, it came at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, Grendel ammunition is so scarce that I have named each cartridge that I do have.

    You'll be very happy with it. Here's a photo of mine on my AR.
