Suggestions and opinions on an optic.

[shootamc58]

I've recently acquired an lwrc Repr in th 20 inch configuration. I put a bipod on it and am now ready to put a nice optic on it. This will be a distance gun primarily used to plink at 400 plus meters. I've got a trijicon vcog on my 556 and like it a lot, but was thinking about a nightforce for this rifle. I would very much love and appreciate the opinions of folks on here as most have quite a bit more experience and knowledge than I do about optics. Thanks in advance for any advice you might have.

What price range are you thinking?

Depending on budget, one of these might be a huge win.

Not really concerned with cost, but I'd love to spend 2k or under.

Personally I really like the Razor HD line, super high quality glass

RAZOR HD GEN II 3-18X50 RIFLESCOPE

The PST glass is good, though I only have the Gen1 however I am assuming the GenII stuff will be just as good if not better if you are willing to wait.

VIPER® PST GEN II 5-25X50 FFP RIFLESCOPE EBR-2C

For your purposes I would assume max magnification would be used regardless so FFP or SFP does not affect you as much though I am partial to FFP scopes at this point.

Here is my next buy, hopefully.

Steiner T5Xi 3-15x50 MIL

FFP, 34mm tube, Horus reticle and illuminated.

If costisnt a factor, go with a NightForce. I have one on my F-Class rifle and its worth the extra money over Leupold.
