Lol that was more directed toward the OP. Truth be told, I was never really into NightForce optics. In fact, the 1-8x ATACR will be my first.

Kahles K16i. Put it in a Geissele mount. Done. You’re overthinking this and unnecessarily hamstringing your choices with the limitation of only having 4x capability.

This. For your use great at 1X is more important than not going past 4X on the top end.

OP stated in the first post that he's ruled out the Kahles 1-6x.

[Todd.K]

Because he doesn't need 6X or a "long range" scope. It's the wrong way to look at a LPVO, especially the current high end options.

He needs to pick based on 1X performance and not worry about how high it goes. The Kahles is great at 1X.

I'm not disagreeing with you, brother. I'm not the one you need to convince.

Like the OP, I decided I didn't need anything past 4x. I was more concerned with how the scope performs on 1x. 0-200yds performance was my goal, with some significant value placed on weight, and 1x eyebox. Didn't worry too much about daylight brightness. I chose an accupower and am real happy with it. The etched reticle is great, when the illumination isn't there it doesn't really matter to my eye. Eyebox and 1x is great. Some of these 1-6 and 1-8 scopes are friggin heffers. I'd be looking at a 1-4 accupower, or if you want something better and pricier, a 1-6 kahles. Both have acceptable weights and big eyeboxes.

If as you say 100 yards would be max distance, then I'd suggest looking at the Leupold VX6 1-6 with duplex Firedot reticle. It is daylight bright, simple bold reticle, 1x, large enough eye box that it can be used as a red dot or cranked up to reach way out there. Mine has a custom CDS dial on it and I've shot out to 600 yards.

I have a Trijicon Accupower 1-4 and though I can tell the illumination is on, it's not daylight bright as already stated. The segmented circle reticle with BDC is very useable to me without turning it on but it's not a red dot.

Frankly at just 100 yards I don't think I can beat my EXPS2-0 on timed shots offhand.

Another 1-4 to look at is the SWFA HD 1-4 or 1-6, possibly the best choices in their class.

On the VX6 I looked through, the glass is just okay, on the low end it does not seem like true 1x to me, and has edge distortion.

There are none that are true 1x

The S&B 1-8x ShortDot Dual CC is true 1x. Is the CC feature not the main selling point?

I have not used that model. I was just getting ready to order a nf 1-8. Sprung for this in tan off of ebay. Will report back on the 1x. (This gives me a scientific reason to spend $3200)
