School me on optics for PRS-style long range

[C Ward]

After tracking it's about the reticule and features you want / need . I've got / have had SB , USO , Leupold , gen 2 Razor , Nightforce , and XTR2 .

The USO is an older SN3 and the glass is on par with the Burris and after my dealings with USO never again will one make it in to the safe .

The SB , a 5-25 and a short dot are going nowhere and until something changes my mind they will both still be used all the time .

My 1 lone Leupold is a 1-8 , it's a tank and the illumination on the reticule isn't what I would like but the glass is good and it tracks .

The two gen 2 razors are probably the best balance of cost / features right now and I would definitely buy more . They are heavy but the glass is really clear and both have tracked perfectly . They are closing out the old reticules right now and can be found for under 2k .

The Nightforce ATACR is a really nice scope and retails for 3-400 more than the razor and when I went with the razor it was for the locking turrets and nothing more .

The XTR2 is really nice for the money , is it SB nice no but you can get a usable reticule in a reliable package that tracks perfect with product support you can drive to in state . The new XTR3 is supposed to be even better with much better glass but I have not seen any yet . The 2s can be had around 1k and the 3 I hear is going to be 16 - 1800 .
