Help me find the scope I want.

[Averageman]

I'm putting together a BCM rifle with a 20 inch barrel and a lower with an A2 stock and now I'm looking for a scope.
Looking for an illuminated reticle, something at least 8 power ( More is better for me to a degree) on the high end and 2-3 power on the low end.
I'm looking to shoot out to 400-500 meters.
I'm pretty happy with the Leupold scopes I have used and I'm looking at the Mark 4 series.
Can I do better as in quality and warranty for under $1200?

The Vortex viper pst 2.5-10x32 would fit what you're looking for. Illuminated reticle. Can't beat the warranty. Msrp of $1000 so you could definitely do better than that price.

Just went through this and chose the vortex 2.5-10 pst

Thanks that was fast, I'm taking a look at it now.
What mounts did you use?

[tmanker]

You will almost certainly need a cantilever mount. Bobro or Larue.

I used an American Defense recon mount with 2" offset and dual qd levers.

I've been happy with my ADM products.

Check out the Burris Veracity FFP scopes.

You can get the one linked above for ~$600 otd and it also has a forever warranty.

I just got the one linked above for Christmas for my new SPR-ish build and really like it, though, DISCLAIMER, I have not gotten to the range with it yet.


ETA: If you don't want/need QD, Take a look at Aero Precision's Ultralight scope mounts as well. They're like ~3 oz and get good reviews. The SPR one will have the 2" off set you'll want.
