    I honestly haven't decided - but probably a Rem with a 20" barrel.

    5 kilobux into a scope will get you the best of the best. Except for a couple of HP calculators and a couple of canoe paddles I don't think I own the best of the best of anything. If I did it would be a Schmidt and Bender something or other. Just for the bragging rights.

    I'm not sure how to interpret your post.... but anyways...

    In my opinion, a 1-8x covers everything except the furthest limits of the 5.56 cartridge (600yds+). Again , in my opinion, a 1-8x is perfect for 99.9% of everything you'll be doing with an AR, military work included. There's plenty of 10x scopes out there, but few of them have the robustness and the durability of the Leupold or they start at a minimum power greater than 1x (as is the case with what I think comes close to otherwise being the best do-it-all AR optic at this point, the NF 2.5-10x24).

    As you pointed out, the S&B 1-8x Shortdot is also a good choice, but unfortunately it seems to be vaporware at this point.

    Hopefully Nightforce will come out with a 1-8x or a 1-10x, but that's just hopeful wishing at this point.

    then, without giving consideration to which rifle it'll go on, I'd go with the Hensoldt 3-12x56 SSG-P... exactly $5,000:

    No disappointment here - it's your money.

    Say you need to make a precise shot at 600 yds.

    How do you work your windage dope with that reticle?

    (Still reading through the 38 search hits for "TA-33")

    I don't have 600 yds. The ta33 would be for variety on a Carbine. I have a NF 2.5-10x32 for precision and I'm just learning the precision game
