So was originally thinking of this:
- and although you can get it for ~$1.8K, it may be more than I need to get into long range shooting to start and the price is a bit heavy

Alternative would be something like this:
which can be found in the $750 - $950 range depending on reticle choice - that might make it a bit more comfortable starting out

Would welcome thoughts opinions - save some money and start light and get a feel for what I want in a scope, or spend some more money upfront and have no regrets.
Cant really go wrong with either. Both scopes will retain value, so if you really want to upgrade the glass, you can easily sell the Viper and get the Razor, or some other glass. I have the Razor you are thinking about with an EBR-2C reticle and it is an amazing scope, and a bit heavy.

Thanks - appreciate the feedback

Decided to go for it and get the Razor (with the 7C reticle) which should be here middle of next week.

My bank account is in trouble :)
 
Not really new, but finally complete now that the bipod is on it. I can’t wait to get this gal back out to the range:

.308 with Geissele LPK, SSA-E trigger and charging handle, FailZero BCG, Strike Industries stock. Steiner T5Xi 1-5x24 scope. I had a red Radian Raptor CH on there previously but didn’t like that it was one sided. Still don’t know if I should keep it for a 6.5CM build at some point down the line or sell it.
 
And just for shits and giggles, my 300BLK now that a I finally got around to adding a pic rail on the bottom for a bipod or light. TBD. BDCD4E19-6B50-4CBC-8840-D69F62B418C3.jpeg

Also a Geissele LPK, High Speed National Match trigger, charging handle. Vortex Strikefire II with 3x magnifier. Bushy XM15-E2S lower, Spikes upper, Geissele handguard. This is a fun plinker.

That’s a sweet piece! It’s also at the very top of my list right now so jealousy dictates a side eyed glance😒There’s two in the classifieds, but north of $2k is a bit out of reach for me. The hunt continues. Also, I’d keep the charging handle, it’s not like it’s gonna to go bad. 18” barrel?

20” barrel. All in I was less than $1K (not including the scope). Lots of good people on this forum and lots of good vendors who don’t give 2 [beeps] about shipping to MA.

Finally found a new PTR GI! Seems no body could get these then BAM! This one and one other pops up. Couldn't resist, now to find some mags.

Paint it.

1909 M07 Savage .32acp. First ever double stack magazine. "10 rounds quick" was the advertising claim. Rather unappreciated given its historical significance. That's a rabbit hair, not a crack, on the right grip.

I’ve gone twice to the range and it shoots very well, the feel is smooth it mitigates recoil well, I love the heavy feel and also the red dot fits and works well. BUT! I am kinda disappointed with the trigger! Don’t get me wrong it is a good trigger but not what I really expected it to be, especially being a “Legion” I have a few other “stock guns” that have a much better trigger and cost less. All in all still a very good gun and I am happy to own one.
You're going to be 'Hell on Wheels" with this on steel I bet. I'm looking at one myself.

Knob Creek you are more than welcome to try mine out before you buy... I‘m planning on heading out to the club on Sunday... its been a few weeks since I’ve been out because of prior commitments and the weather... But I’m free this weekend and hope the weather hold out. Hope to see you there....
