    I'd be surprised if any of the optics I listed failed due to recoil. And the all have lifetime warranties, either way. If they can survive on a SCAR-17/SCAR Heavy, they can man a PTR91 just fine. Which is, by the way, just an HK G3 clone. And since when do people serious about shooting balk at spending more on the glass than the gun?

    I guess this sub forum really is an alternate reality. I bow out.

    I can run a stock 91 comfortably. The only time I feel it is with a para stock and that meat tenderizer buttplate. The only .308 that really gives me a jaw punch is the FAL and I think it's just because it's a slightly lighter gun.

    If it makes you feel better, every one of the options you listed is viable. The days of cheap retro glass are gone so might as well get the newest latest that has more current features for about the same money.

    That's why I had Bill Springfield put a heavy buffer in my retractable stock.

    I ended up going with the Vortex Gen 2 PST 1-6X. It seemed like the best value for a gun that is hardly a precision rifle. Vortex stands behind their products, so I am not worried about banging it around. I am looking at the best low profile mounting option. I don't need quick release. Maybe an aero precision one piece?
