Have been running a PST Gen2 1-6x24 mrad for about 5 months on a 16" 5.56 platform (223 wylde, actually), aside from being just a touch heavier than some other options I really like it...
Glass, reticle and illumination are real nice for up close as well as reaching out further, and controls (turrets, illumination, etc.)/aesthetics are nicely done...
1-6 is about where I would go.
Whats your budget?
I started running a Vortex Razor 1-6 at work last year. I took it through a CQB/Vehicle package to see if looking through a tube would slow me down/piss me off after years behind a T1. I didn’t notice the tube and the amount of time it slowed me down was negligible. Especially when balanced against my ability to target ID at longer ranges.
It’s on a 10.5in LMT shooting 70gr TSX. I can reliably hit E types at 600.

For my daily rifle that goes everywhere with me I run a 1-6x SWFA. I shoot 55gr FMJ for practice but carry Federal 62gr bonded that does not change my zero. Having a scope has not slowed me down that I can tell as others have mentioned. What it has done is given me a strength to ID targets at further distances and easier to shoot for sure. I've only taken it out to 600 yards so far but had no trouble hitting IPSC targets.
I have a couple of the 1-6 Strike Eagles...work really well. I just finished the practical rifle class at Front Sight with it.Quote:
