I'm building up a rifle that is looking to have a lot of potential, based on a 14.5 midlength Geissele, and I'm thinking about splurging on a high end LPVO for it. The two top tier options I have some familiarity with are the Gen III Vortex 1x10, and the ATACR 1x8. Both seem about equal in terms of reticle, durability and glass quality, so what I'm most interested in are eye box, low light performance and field of view. Use case will be "do all" rifle--most of my shooting is in the 200 - 500 yard distance, but I also want capability on 1x...though I'm probably adding an offset micro dot so that's not my top priority.
Alternately--I'm also fully aware I might be jumping the gun by going to the top end of the market. I've also looked at the older Gen II Vortex 1-6 and the Sig Tangot6T, and they seem like very capable scopes...I'd probably lean toward the Sig for FFP and the ability to use the mil scale to measure. I don't plan to shoot under NODs with this set up, and weight is not a huge concern for me because I'm used to heavier carbines. In terms of top end magnification, I'm more interested in the ability to be able to see the environment down range clearly than have a super zoom.
Thoughts?
