Hey all, I am in the final stages of my AR build. I havent gotten the TOP NOTCH items for everything, but this AR is purpose built and I expect to see .5" or smaller groups. Reason for the build is primarily hunting, but realistically it will probably see more range time time hunt time because I have another bolt gun i use for deer hunts.
I have been looking for a quality optic to throw on top of the grendel that TRACKS EXCELLENT, and is still fairly clear. tracking is more important to me than clarity since the round can't accurately shoot much passt 1200yds. My first choice of optic would be a leupold mark 5, but those are a bit more than i want to spend on a rifle that wont be my primary rifle for any specific purpose. Because of that, I have started looking for other stubby (short) scopes that will still track reliably at long range (I have a 2k yard range near me, so yes I actually shoot longer distances) and a scope that has acceptable clarity. I would prefer an optic to have at least 14x magnification, but i find myself shooting at or around 20x at distance with all my other optics. It must be variable because it will be used for hunting as well.
Here are a list of some of the scopes I have been considering IF I do not end up just getting a mark 5
-Bushnell DMR or HDMR gen 2
-Burris XTR 2
-Eotech vudu
-sig tango 6
I would prefer a stubby/short scope because my barrel is an 18" and I don't want the scope to be near as long as the handguard/barrel itself.
Any of you guys have any experience with any of these optics on a grendel? pics? pros/cons on an AR? If I had to pic a 2nd place optic behind the leupold mark 5, it would be a tie between the sig and eotech
