    Yeah, if you’re a WSL, you definitely need a laser rangefinder with some magnification. A magnified optic with rangefinding features is a good backup. Actually shooting with it, while not unimportant, is secondary to employing the real guns, as you already know. I had mine zero’d and loaded with nothing but tracers for marking in my first couple mags when I was a WSL.

    Download a copy of Strelok and play around with it. I think that goes a long way towards making a better informed decision on scopes.

    The Tango 6T 1-6 scopes have very good glass and reticle choices. The hellfire m855a1 reticle is SFP and works decently as a red dot on 1x, just have to get used to the rest of the reticle. I have 7.62 version on an SR25 and I’m really enjoying getting to know the hold overs but being FFP I’m finding it to be very fast at multiple distances. Just mounted the Horseshoe dot on my .300 Blackout, haven’t shot with it yet. All of them have excellent illumination. I kind of wish the horseshoe was SFP so the reticle was much larger at 1x. I’ll have to see how that plays out. Still lots of training required on my part to move intuitively through what the scopes are capable of.

    I have the 1300 I think, I like it. Vortex has been good to me on several occasions so I like sticking with them.

    A more indepth review / photos would be appreciated, as you are the first to really speak about them firsthand.

    Will do. Can already say I prefer the FFP scopes over the Hellfire M855a1 reticle. May actually venture into doing a YouTube video. Will compare to Vortex as well.
