About a month ago I got in a Centurion Arms Recce rifle. Set it aside and since have gathered a few bits- bipod, charging handle, pistol grip.....Just little stuff. The next step of course is putting an optic on it. Was thinking of the Vortex Razor 1-10x might be pretty close to ideal. I have not had a chance to look at one of them in person yet though.

I had discussed it with a couple of RKI's and they said that the thing with LPVO's is that there is always a "tradeoff" that's made in reticle sizing etc...It either favors the high end, or the lower end- there is no happy "middle" and that in the case of the Vortex the reticle is "biased" to 10x essentially. Which means that the reticle is less ideal at the lower powers.

Thoughts? Is there a "better option" for a Recce type rifle in the $1800-2,500 range?
