    What mount?

    I am thinking an LT111 (http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-t...qd-scope-mount) would go awesome with.
    My brother runs both the PEPR and ADM. Says he sees no difference.

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.
    Thank you, pretty much what I thought. I was thinking the brighter simpler dot would outweigh the true 1x. How is the eye box, pretty generous? I'm really leaning vx-r due to weight also. A quater lb is significant and it's a lw style build that it's going on.

    Just got back from the range with my Mark AR Mod 1, 1.5-4x with Green Firedot / SPR.

    I have to say I think this scope is much better than the Mark 4 MR/T 1.5-5x CM-R2. Eyebox is more forgiving, the Firedot, while a small .3 MOA is day light visible, and the turrets were positive and consistent...

    Really couldn't get a true 100 yard zero as I forgot my reactive targets and there were too many people on the range for me to check often, but I got a good 25 then 50 yard zero, setting POI 2 inches low at 50, which should get me pretty close at 100 when I get back to confirm / refine the 100 yard zero.

    Up close at 7 yards it is subjectively pretty fast, not as fast as a RDS maybe but I did 2 mags of 20 from the low ready, on target and 2 rounds, wash-rinse-repeat. Having the SPR reticle was similar to using an Eotech, being able to use the reticle for holdovers up close vs just holding above the target with a Aimpoint (still love aimpoints, BTW).

    Anyway, for <$400 I am very pleased with this scope.

    I just moved my NF NXS 1-4X24 off my 3 gun AR and am looking to replace it with either the Vortex or the VX-6. I own a Mark6 1-6 but I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze for 17-1800 bucks.

    The VX-6 3 Gun reticle looks interesting. Any feedback on that scope?

    Yep very forgiving. The dot is obviously visible before you get the scope into position and are able to see through it/see the rest of the reticle.

    I just picked up this optic and mounted it on my DD M4 V7.
    I will shoot it tomorrow and let you know what I think.
    Thanks for the reviews here guys.

    The Scope is adequate for the Money.
    The reticle is a little busy for my taste, green dot is fine. Adjustment on the dot were fine and it turned off when it sat still for several minutes, then turned right on when moved.
    No problem zeroing. Adjusted fine, crisp distinct clicks.
    I am not estatic, just a decent scope

    I am slowly working my way through the thread as well as doing my due diligence elsewhere around the net, but thought I might as well as here, too.

    I've got a 1.5-4x Mark AR (duplex, non-illuminated) on my FAL and am thinking of upgrading to an illuminated reticle in the 1.5-6x-ish range. Would prefer to not get too large a bell on this thing (e.g. stay away from the 40mm+ out there).

    My budget will be around $800 to a grand if I save up longer. I'm aware of the Leupold VX-6. Are there any others I should be aware of?

    Would like to know more as well. I actually have the VX-6 Multi gun model on order right now. Looking forward to when it comes in.

    Got to handle on in person; makes me want to trade in my VX-R Patrol for it. Now if Leupold would just put a better reticule in it than the SPR.
