I started a thread the died an untimely death when the site went down.
Anyway... I bought a Vortex Viper 6 x 20 x 50 and mounted her up. My concerns:
This is not an FFP scope so the mil dot reticle has to be on x14 power in order to use the ranging function (and bullet drop/windage) of the scope. Since x14 is somewhere in the middle of the range I'm not all that confident I can reliably hit that mark and that my reticle will be accurate without clicking away on the turret.
Second issue... the eye relief is 3.1" and I found I had to mount it back further than I'd like. I'm not a nose to charging handle kind of guy.
I'm thinking I should have bought one of the SWFA single power scopes and not had to deal with the variable power scope/reticle situation. This is a range scope so for the most part I know my distances but it sure would be nice to know the distance between those dots reliably. Who wants to try counting fifty clicks everytime they take a different shot?
