SPR Optics

What's a good and affordable SPR Optics. I need to mount it on an 18in SPR build.

I want to use the LT104 mount. Can't afford NightForce. too much.

How about a fixed 10x?
or anything that doesn't go over 10x

That includes the mount.
It is also the illuminated model I would call and ask for the none illuminated model save you some more $$.

Got the link... very tempting.

I was going thru the leupold website....

I came up with this. Leupold LRT 10x40
http://www.leupold.com/tactical/prod...0x40mm-lrt-m1/

I not expert in long range shooting. but with the limited knowledge i've researched.
I learned that a fixed magnification scope is stronger and gathers more light.

what disadvantage will I have with this fix scope? still fit in LT104?
If I try shooting @50 yards will it still focus?
Honestly I don't know when to use 2.5x or 8x or in between magnification. confuses the hell outa me.

The LRT 10x40 would problaby work fine for an spr I do not know if it would fit the LT-104 mount. I do know that the MRT line was originally designed for the Spr and has the right amount of eye relief for the AR platform also you can get the MRT with a SPR reticule http://www2.leupold.com/products/reticles_SPR.htm for the 1.5-5x20 MRT
Varible scope power is nice if you have to scan for targets you turn down the power for a wider field of view and when find your target you can dial up the power to zoom in.
