Hello all,
I'm building out a 20" target/"long range" .223 rifle and I'm looking for an optic. This is only going to be a target rifle. I'lll be punching paper. But, if society crumbles, it could be used for protection. I have other rifles for hunting so I wouldn't use this one. I'd say the maximum range I'm interested in is 600 to 700 yards. Most of my current optics have duplex or mildot reticles. Since I'm interested in longer range shooting I'm interested in a BDC reticle, but that's not a requirement.
My optics budget is about $1,500, and I'm thinking that a max magnification in the 12x to 15x range will be enough and these are the optics that I'm looking at:
o Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 3-15 FFP (link) - $999
o Nightforce SHV C520 4-14 (link) - $975
o Leupold MK 4 LR 4.5-14 (link) - $1,169
o Nikon Monarch 7 4-16 (link) - $999
I'm definitely looking for other options though.
What I'm really looking for is the best value, the best bang for the buck.
Thanks,
JRC
