    Swarovski Z6i, 1-6 w/ BRT reticle. The two most important factors for me were a true 1x at the lowest setting so I could use it as I would an Aimpoint; and a daytime bright illuminated dot. There was nothing else that even came close at the time. I had been waiting on the S&B 1-8, but it's still in the vaporware category 3 years later.

    The FOV is unbelievable until you experience it. It has a memory that keeps a daytime setting for the dot, and a night time setting. The BRT reticle is essentially a mil-dot tree. It's lighter than most optics in the same category (including some 1-4's). I absolutely love the glass and was so impressed I picked up a 2nd one for my 7.62 rifle. I do get a LE price directly from Swarovski, but even at full price I'd consider it worth every dollar and would have bought it anyway.
    Before you suggest that licensing, background checks, or other restrictions for the 2nd Amendment are reasonable... Apply those same ideas to the 1st and 4th Amendments. Then tell me how reasonable they are.

    I had a TR24 with a green triangle and a Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4, but I sold them both. I decided ACOGs worked better for me. I might pick up a PST 1-4 or something else in the future, especially if I get a Six8 at some point.

    my first was NF 1-4x which was a total abomination of an optic. got rid of it and replaced it with a swaro z6i 1-6x which was awesome except the illumination switch is a little too easy to accidentally turn on, and at the time, their reticle choices left a lot to be desired. they're better now though. i still have this optic and use it quite often, but then I got a vortex 1-6 HD which is just as good on glass with better knobs and reticle. a friend had to have it so i parted with it, which is why I'm still using the swaro. I'd definitely buy another though. Only downside to vortex HD was weight. it's way heavier than it looks. Finally, I bought a USO 1-8x which is better than the rest by a wide margin: better mag range, red-dot, reticle, weight, size, etc.

    +1 I got the capped version though.

    PST reticle is pretty fine for precision shots at 300 yet big enough for fast shots under 25.

    ETA: paid $400 for mine like new and not used at the range.

    Just check the specs and it is light for power range.
