DMR/Recce Rifle Optics...

[ALCOAR]

I really suck at taking pictures through the optic pal, I'd hate to have you base your opinion on some crappy pics I posted in regards to the glass or the reticles.

Horus vision Hawk cause its faster than turrets.

Thanks for the link.

I just checked USO's site, and I couldn't find that reticle option anywhere on the site... Has it been officially released yet, or what?

They are building them now, but with some waiting involved - as is normal for a new product. A few are already out it appears. Custom order from USO and they are listed at SWFA.

Considerable discussion here:

I picked up a Leupold VR-X 1.25x4x20 and will be putting it on new BCM Recce once my upper comes in from Bravo.

Your going to really like that glass. That is a perfect set-up for a Reece style rifle.

I am a big fan of the Squad Designated Marksmen concept. That said, one must keep in mind what the SDM is. He is just another Joe in the squad who happens to be the best shot and is not already working as a team leader or squad leader. He is not a sniper, has not been to a 6 week sniper school, and does not live in a world of dope and mil dots. He must also accompany the squad during normal operations.

I think in most cases you would be better served by an ACOG - preferably with a top mounted RDS for CQC. Uncle Sugar has issued mostly some flavor of TA31, most of them have no RDS but some do have Dr Optics or JPoints. If you have a choice, you would be better served by a TA11 or TA33 with an RMR.

The M4C has a lot more enthusiasts who might prefer something else but for general service use among the general shooting population I think the ACOG is the way to go.

Then why not an adjustable power optic with an RMR? I used the ACOG to great advantage while I was in, but the option to dial down to 1X or up to 6X would also be an advantage with a FFP reticle. The 1-6X24 GRSC is an example with an internal ranging reticle set up for the a particular round.

Thanks for the kind words brother, I would have weighed in more but didn't have any real experience with the options you listed in your op.

I'm obviously biased towards NF's offerings, however they have treated me extremely well, and up to this point I have not personally needed anything else besides what they offered.

You can always go with a 2/3-9/10x type optic and then run a secondary optic like a T-1 in a 45 degree mount to give you the 1x type capabilities. I really like Larue's LT724 mount in conjunct with a T-1 for this type configuration.

My recommendation would be to go with a NXSc 2.5-10x?(x24s are really hard to come by now that they are extinct, however the x32s are readily available). Then play around with it a little bit and if you find yourself wanting or needing a 1x capability, pick up a nice 45 degree offset mount and a T-1.

You certainly can get a whole lot of bang for your buck with a budget of $1500.

Do any of you guys advocating the NF 2.5-10x feel that the second focal plane reticle is a handicap, particularly with the mil-dot version?

personally, no. at the distance I would use ranging at, I would have the scope set at maximum anyway.

Thanks. I'm outfitting a 16" BCM Recce type for a magpul DMR class next month and am debating optics. Leaning pretty heavily towards the 2.5-10x32 w/ mildots / milturrets, other contender is a Z6i BRT.
