so my latest build is a 308 AR with an 18" JP barrel, blah blah blah.
i've shot a lot of the big name, crazy high dollar scopes, but i don't have the $$ for that. 18" is a little on the short side for 1k+, but it will do it. so that's my range goal. i have the SS 5-20, 3-9, PST 4-16, couple MK4's (that are getting sold), and recently bought a sightron si on closout, and was impressed. so my limit will be @ or around $2k, so that puts up the Razor, SS, and the Steiner is close. but i would like to consider something along the PST and SIII, but i beat the sh*t out of my stuff, and don't know if they will hold up. i've been easy with the PST up to this point, so i don't know about how rugged it is. so since many of you know A LOT more than i do about scopes, hear it is. and i've read all of koshkin's reviews, but i haven't made up my mind yet thanks all |

What is the purpose of the rifle,hunting,target or competitive distance?
Illuminated or non illum? FFP or SFP? Distances you plan on shooting?
The answers will help a true pick!

I signed up for these forums simply to ask this exact same question. Really looking forward to hearing the responses.

I love a Government that supports and finances civilian uprises in Syria, Lybia and Egypt and then tells its own citizens there is no reason to own "assault rifles"

I have a number of NF scopes and I am happy with them. But for my next scope I am really looking at a Kahles. And most likely this one.

Maybe consider two scopes...SS 16 or 20X for your long distance yah-yahs and an SS 3-9 for hunting.

Reaction time is a factor...

This is maybe a little much magnification but have you looked at the Sightron SIII it is a different beast better in everyway to the SI, SII, SII Big Sky. I will assume for Prairie Dogs and Ground Hogs you will be shooting this past 100 yards. I think the 6x bottom would be limited FOV at 100 but just near perfect at any distance past 100 I will also assume that you want above 16x at the top end which is why I suggest the Sightron SIII 6-24x Other suggestions would be:
