SPR Optics

Economy is pretty bad everywhere...

I was planning on a full custom build. compass lake and all... (a buddy of mine did this. took him a year) Very beautiful. with all the fluting and all. and very costly too

Ive decided to go the semi custom route. say... Larue Stealth Complete upper 18.5in w/ 13.2 rail.

then... the 2.5-8x MRT... thinking about it.. my scope is going to cost exactly as much as my complete upper! 1,200+1200 = 2,400 usd. Will probably use my Carbine lower for a while. before investing on a dedicated spr lower. those magpul prs stock is expensive too.... not to mention a good trigger.

any plans on what trigger? brand?

Right now the plan is for a Magpul PRS stock, Magpul miad full pistol grip, Geissele Automatics SSA semi-auto Match trigger.
The upper I might have MSTN build me a MOD1 upper I think he uses a novoske barrel that has a slightly lighter profile than the standard SPR profile. and a Leupold MRT scope in a Larue mount.

On an AR15 SPR type set up I would look at the Leupold MK4 MR/T line either the 1.5-5 or the 2.5-8. I really like the SPR reticle (specifically designed for the AR15 SPR rifles) and the M2 BDC turrets. I have successfully used a decent 4 power scope to make first round hits on targets out to 700M.

If you really need something with the 10 power I would look at the at the MK4 LR/T line with the 3.5-10. I personally prefer the lower power on an SPR as I can dial it down to the lowest magnification and use the AR at closer ranges without slowing down.

Here is a Leupold MK4 MR/T 1.5-5x20mm on my Daniel Defense SPR, I have the M2 turrets for 5.56 55, 62 & 77gr out to 800M. SPR reticule in an SPR mount on an SPR upper... companies like the "SPR" tag I suppose.

Disregard.

Leupold MR/T 1.5-5x

thomas m-4,

geissele is one of the best triggers around... and cost a lot too. One day i'll have this. PRS will have to follow later.

cameron,

As I kept on analyzing... the MR/T really grew on me.! but Just another question....

what's the difference with M1 and M2 designation of the 2.5-8x MR/T? I read leupold site and it says that M2 is for 308?

Anybody can clarify M1 and M2?

1.5-5x might be too low a magnification. Can you still do 1MOA hits with this type of scope @100 yards?

M1, M2 (or M3) denotes the type of turret knob.

1.5-5x is plenty of magnification for an SPR/DMR. It is easily capable of hitting a torso at 600 yards in a 5.56. At 100 yards you shouldn't have any problems doing 1 moa, depending on your skill level.

I bowed out before but I'd say the ACOG is the best option. SPR/DMR is about rapid acquisition and fire, the Leupold MR/T works great for a competition, but in a fighting gun the ACOG reticle is far superior...imo.

lastly... how do I order with the SPR reticule? this is the one with the horse shoe right? or do all of the MRT come in SPR reticule.?

so what's the difference of M1 or M2 turret website doesn't explain

M1 1/4 MOA adj M2 1/2 MOA adj
On the web sight they only shows the SPR reticule option for the 1.5-5x.
Looked at the custom shop and they don't show any options for the MRT line up may have to E-mail them to find out for sure.

SPR reticule http://www2.leupold.com/products/reticles_SPR.htm
not really a horse shoe

It looks like they have a typo on the dial description they list M1 and M3 but M3 dails are not shown has an option.

To order with the SPR if it's non-standard you'll have to contact Leupold's custom shop. If it does it will be an available option. I only think it's an option on the 1.5x model.

The difference in turrets is only obvious in dimensions. The M1 is taller/thinner than the m2 or m3 which are shorter/wider.
