Scope for 5.56 Rifle

[DireWolf]

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.

Get a 1-8 strike eagle. If you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket get the 1-6 vortex razor

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.

I have a 1.5x4 mark ar on a 16in middie and no issues out to 300yds. Have a 3x9x40 on a MVP and can makes hits at 550yds with ease if there is no wind. Im looking to up grade the MVP to a 4x12 to make thoes 550yds shots easier.
