Best possible optics for SCAR 17

[Prada]

Hi guys, I need recommendation for the best possible optics for the SCAR 17? Originally I was getting the Nikon Monarch X 4-16x50, but it sounds like there are better options.
I'm looking more for long-range obviously. I want to setup my SCAR 17S as a long-range gun as I've got my FS2000 with EOTech and 3X FTS for CQB. Would like something capable of allowing me to see a target at 1,000 yards, but also something at 50 yards, if that's possible.

what's your budget?

The SCAR will destroy a lot of optics from what I've heard.

There are many optic brands that are better than Nikon's Monarch series.

US Optics, Schmidt & Bender, Leupold, Nightforce, Swarovsky, Vortex's Razor HD, etc

These should all tolerate a SCAR's recoil impulse.

IMHO, if you want a 1,000 yard capable single optic solution, there is more than a good chance that its low end magnification will be less than ideal at 50 yds and possibly even at 100 yds.

We're going to need a budget here or else we're just typing for fun.

buddy put Narrowing down your requirements will definitely help give you more viable options. A buddy put this M-223 3-12x42 on his SCAR 16S without any issues and we had a blast hitting steel. He put a M-308 4-16x42 on his 17S and that worked great as well. Lots of great scope options available to you. I'd definitely consider a 20MOA mount to help you with your 1000 goal for your SCAR 17.

Trijicon 1-8 unless your going to try and shoot out past 600 yards.

I have a Steiner GS3 2-10 on my 17 with no issues so far

Another Nikon choice you might like is the BLACK x1000 4-16x50. It has a 30mm tube, and you can get it with a MOA or MRAD reticle and turrets to match. I have been using 3 for the past year on 2 6.5cm's and 1 .308. Great features and glass. Definitely, put it on your list of scopes to check out. Maybe some of the Sponsor's here can help you out too?
