4-16 to much for a Recce/SPR

Look no further than the Mark 6 3-18 FFP. If SFP is desired/preferred, the NF 2.5-10 works well. Those two get my vote.

Another one to look for in the 10x is the US optics 1.8-10. FFP, lots of reticle choices and the EREK elevation knob is awesome. Eye box it better than the NF too but it is heavier.

The 2.5-10x pst looks like the best bang-for-buck mid-long range scope out there. I almost got one, but decided on a 1-4 to use for hd+rec shooting at some distance.
My limited experience with scopes so far is that new-comers seem to over-magnify stuff. I think you'll find 4-16 to be a bit much for action shooting or moving targets. If its prone with stationary targets, 4-16 would be fine, IMO.

I should point out that Im not a novice distant shooter. Im not great at it but Ive been doing it causally for many years and professionally for a couple years a while back.

My original plan is to get a PST 2.5-10x34 FFP MRAD for my soon to be here BCM SS410 RECCE. However I came across a few good deals on the PST 4-16 FFP MRAD. I also have a possible deal going on a Bushnell Elite Tactical 3-12x44 FFP MRAD that I might be getting depending on how my Rem 700 sells.

I suspect you'll be able to find a home for that 4-16x on something longer if you decide it's a bit much on most anything 5.56; but the 2.5-10x32 is still the one I'd run on a Recce if you care about the 400m+ side of the equation most.

I chose the Vortex 2.5-10x44 at first. Then I switched to the 2.5-10x32 FFP. I had read nothing but good reviews on it, and talked to a few who had it. I bought it and am super happy with it. The biggest difference is the clarity with the adj parallax. The FFP wasn't the deal sealer for me, as much as the parallax. I have looked through both scopes side by side same day, and the 32 FFP was significantly clearer and brighter. No comparison.

I'm running the Vortex 4-16 FFP PST on my Recce and I think it's perfect. I wanted a nice scope that I can take off at anytime and put it on another rifle and not be "wanting". I love my scope. I would rather have the power and then decide if I need it or not rather than not having it and wanting it. I as able to justify this because most ACOGs are 4x power and non adjustable. I have zero regrets.

Just sent out payment for a 2.5-10x32 FFP MRAD yesterday. Its going in an ADM mount. Cant wait to get this thing out to the desert.

I was definitely impressed when I got mine last week. For the price of these, it appears to be a very high quality optic. Way beyond the price point.

Good choice, you won't be disappointed. It will do its part if you'll do yours. For the money, its hard to beat. Then theres the top notch warranty as an added bonus. I am going to shoot mine tomorrow at 400-600 and possibly beyond.
