    What I really want is a Nightforce 2.5-10x32 FFP but they won't make it.

    You won't have any issues. I put my scope at 6 power and was ringing at 600 very easy.

    Oh, I'm not worried out to 600. I can hit 10 inch movers easily at 600. What I need to figure out is my dope beyond 600. I'd like to scoot back to 1000, so I need to figure out my dope every 50 yards past 600 out to 1000. If any of you guys have any advice or suggestions, I'm all ears.

    If you're shooting a .223, in my experience out of my Recce rifle, the bullets were starting to tumble past 850 yards. I only got one hit on 16 inch steel out of 10 shots at 875. Which is not enough for me to call my Recce rifle a 875 yard gun. Best of luck to you.

    What ammo and barrel? With a fast twist barrel (1/7) and a high velocity load, 1,000yds is certainly doable.

    Oh don't get me wrong. I know there are SPR rifles out there that do 1,000 yards. All I was saying is that not every AR with a scope thrown on it will do that. I have a Recce, not an SPR. (16 inch barrel) with a 1/8 shooting 77gr.

    Factory loads here would probably be the Black Hills 5.56 stuff right? Any other factory loadings with enough poop to make it that far?

    I was using Silver State Armory 5.56 77gr OTM. They have given me by far the best groupings out of multiple manufactures that I have tried.

    On my Mk12 Mod 0, I run a 3.5-10x40mm, while on my Recce, I use a 1-4x24. I only use the Recce for targets out to 300 yards.

    I know Vortex uses pretty decent Philippine glass, but I have doubts about how well ANY 32mm objective scope would perform on 10x in low light. How are those 2.5-10x32 Vortexes working for dusk/pre dawn shots?

    I am seeing the new Burris XTR II 2-10x42 for the same price ($700) as you can find that Vortex for, and those are getting good reviews. It has a 34mm tube, and also uses Philippine glass. I would be leaning toward that over the Vortex if I was in the market.
