Cheap trick hit the nail on the head. The "new" line of SS scopes are a complete step up in optics from the $299 models. I was skeptical when the first model came out, the 10x HD model for 799 seemed steep. I picked up one on the samplelist for a 100 off and gambled. The glass is a huge upgrade in clarity and quality. When I wanna develop a load on a rifle and dial it in ... that is the scope I use. So when the 3-9 FFP came out, I snatched one of those up and now have 2 of them. Have the circle reticle 1-4 and one of the new 5-20 models as well. I am a HUGE USO fan but having USO SN3's on all my rifles is just not financially possible. So the rifles that don't have USO glass get SS models. My Varmint AR has the 5-20 on it and shooting MOA steel to 600 yards is easy. I have the 1-4 and 3-9 on the BoBro mounts for a 16 inch 1/7 floated AR, with the 1-4 you can shoot both eyes open clost in and 500 yard hits on a E type on 4x are a snap. with the 3-9 on it shooting 2MOA steel out to 600 is pretty cut and dry. This is with 77g hand loads in a AR that is far cry from a $800 DPMS sporter.
Long winded reply, short version ... the $599 KIT for the 3-9 with Bobro mount, BC flips, sunshade, ARD or the $799 KIT for the 1-4 with Bobro mount... is a STEAL ... you will me more than happy with it.
Another plug for that setup is its FFP. On the AR platform ... you see your impact and reference your reticle ... hold correction ... rengage ... DONE. Its FFP so no matter what mag power your on ... it will work.
