Best all around scope for all around ar.

[cbx]

Because as of the last I heard they haven't gone into production.

They are listed on swfa and europtic.

F2S, what is the mk6 like on 1x? Can it be used with the illumination off?

Cant find one in my part of the world to look through.

Being listed and being in stock/in production are two significantly different things.

The Mk6 is best when illuminated.

Yea... I planned to buy one when they were supposed to be released over 4 years ago... Delay after delay, followed by the price continuing to climb. I got tired of waiting and bought the Swarovski Z6i 1-6. It's lighter than most optics it's size/power and the dot is brighter than my Aimpoints. The BRT reticle allows me to make hits out to 600 quite well.

The Z6i is very good.
I can't say it's as robust as the Mk6, but still solid.

Wait a minute. So these outfits Show them on their website, but they aren't even being produced.

Jeez. I feel a bit stupid now.

Leupy MK4 1.5X5XX20 CMR2...for the cost.

Taking 3 gun outbid the mix and shooting to 300 meters. Is there anything wrong with a Acog ta11 with a rmr and canted sights as backup?

You will be paying more than you could get a decent variable for, with crappy performance from the RMR since it will most likely be piggy-backed over the COG.

Even though the TA11 and TA33 are the best of the ACOG line, I would rather have a decent variable.

Overall though, the absolute "best" is the Leupold Mk8 1.1-8x. It is heavy, bulky, and expensive, but it is the best piece of glass for a dual-role 7.62 carbine. This, of course, assumes an H-27D reticle.

It's been brought up many times in the past, in your opinion, what would work on a 7.62 DMR in the current market?

What's your definition of "DMR"?
If it is a semi-automatic rifle that is used to support a maneuver element in a tactical scenario without a spotter, with an expected high level of precision, rapid identification, and surveillance requirements, then I would say that my personal preference is the Leupold Mk6 3-18x with H59 reticle. HOWEVER, this preference is based off of my experience with that optic, which I use almost exclusively, due to their prevalence in my customer base.

There are other, very good optics out there, but from a size, features, and reticle standpoint, the Mk6 3-18x leaves very little for me to desire. If price is a factor, well, that's a different story.
