Email Swarovski (Khales parent/sister company) and request their government pricing. You’ll be pleased.

I like my Kahles 16i , but I also like my new Leupold VX5-HD 1-5x24, daylight bright Firedot Duplex reticle, great glass, good eye box and FOV, Locking CDS elevation dial, weight just over 14 oz. For my application, 0-300 to maybe 400yds max it works really well. No issues with it so far and I like everything about it. I got mine for $790.

I like a LPVO with a single illuminated red dot and I have both the Vortex Razor 1-6 Gen 2 and the Steiner PX4i. The Razor is on my Noveske NSR 14.5” and the Steiner is on BCM KMR 14.5”. The Razor is a fantastic optic, but it is HEAVY. I use 1.93” mounts and like Boba said those 25+ ounces do throw the balance and over all feel of the gun off a bit. Is it manageable? Yes it is. It it optimal? For me it isn’t, but I still like it.

The BCM with the Steiner is my preferred set up for my “go to” rifle / training rifle. My range only goes out to 250 yards and I feel it gives me more than enough capability. While the PX4i doesn’t offer the clarity or the 6 power of the Razor, it’s lighter weight just makes the gun handle better. I like the reticle a bit better than the Razor as the dot on the Steiner seems crisper to me and I find the crosshairs slightly easier to pick up without illumination. Factor in the price and the PX4i come out on top IMHO.

Is that VX5 waterproof? Are any of these choices?

Yes, the VX5-HD is 100% waterproof and Fogproof. I am 99% sure the other ones we are talking about are also. It should be in the specs on all the manufacturers websites.

The Steiner is nice, a buddy has one, daylight bright and affordable. The vortex is heavy, good glass, not my favorite reticle. Accupower is daylight bright with red, best reticle in my opinion, I run it in 3gun and want another for a 308 battle rifle optic. I've banged mine around and put a good nick into it but no problems with it. Battery life isn't that great but I only run illumination when I have it cranked down on 1x.

I had a Accupower 1-4 Green segmented reticle and it was a nice scope, just not daylight bright. I sold it for the Steiner and for the money it is hard to beat. Light, daylight bright, and a non cluttered reticle. If you look at the Accupower, look at this model in "Red", it is brighter than the green, and if I had of gotten this reticle instead of the segmented circle, I probably would still have it. If I had the money, the Khales or Nightforce would be my choice.
