    Thanks man.

    Had another question. You mention an NVD with your Aimpoint. Night vision adapter GTG with your Mark AR?

    -decently light weight 16-19oz preferably
    I second that, also looking for FOV not less than 20 ft, like Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6, or 27 ft for 1-4 scope.

    Re: 1-4 Variable optic options

    What I really want is a vortex gen ii 1-6 with the reticle from their 1-4, but with another 10-20 moa (or mil equivalent, but I personally prefer moa) of hashmarks to the sides and bottom.

    Is that too much to ask for?

    Everyone complains about the reticle on the Vortex, big dealbreaker for the majority of people. I think when it came out and people complained they were said maybe we'll do another one in two years.

    For 25 oz, they can either put some moa/mil hashes so we can range, or they can sit on it. See you in two years.

    I would not say the majority. Its quite a popular scope in three gun.

    I would hope so, it was pretty much built to be exactly that.

    Really, I'm in the same boat as most of the other posters.
    If it doesn't have mil-based drop and wind references, I'm just not interested. Doesn't mean that anyone else has to agree with me, it's based on my uses and needs.

    Kind of like the Swarovski 1-6x.

    Only if you could pick up a Swarovski for Vortex HD II prices most people here would be running one.

    I'm deciding between a pst1-4, ss1-4, and the vx-r 1.25-4.

    Is the Vx-r fast? This is going on a gen purpose/ hd gun and I'm thinking the Firedot is a big advantage for hd. I feel I'm fast with scopes up close but I have timed myself. This will be used mostly close in but reaching out on occasion. What is all your opinion on this, especially the speed of the vx-r patrol? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere yet except for one YouTube vid.

    Yeah, the way I feel too.

    I'm honestly surprised it's such a popular 3 gun scope as (for me) the reticle is one of the slowest...and the things aint light.

    You can see what I bought, so my opinion will be biased I guess. Besides mil/mil, cost, and the weight...the firedot is another main factor that drew me to the VX-R. For me, illumination isn't for shooting at dusk or anything, it's to speed me up for shooting inside 25yd or so. That said, I don't want a bunch of different areas of the reticle lit up...I want the simplest thing I can get (think Aimpoint). So a bright red dot works, and it's also what I'm used to (after using Aimpoint M2s, C3s, micros).

    The only way this combo could be faster is if it were a true 1x.

    The 1-6x VX-6 has the same illumination system and is a true 1x and isn't too much more money. I'm kind of surprised that Leupold doesn't put as good of an illumination system in their $1700 MK6 as their $500 VX-R and $800 VX-6.
