It's time to put a scope on my AR-10. My main use of it will be putting holes in paper out to 300 yards.
The first scope I considered was the Vortex 2.5-10x44 Viper PST 30mm. The price is good (~$500), but I'm a bit worried about optical clarity. I get the impression it is OK, but not great.
The Vortex 5-20x50 Razor HD 35mm is another possibility, but my concerns about that one are 1) big and heavy, 2) large objective will require high rings and I don't have a cheek riser on my stock, 3) expensive at $1700.
A cheaper option would be SWFA's SS line:
SWFA SS HD 3-9x42 Tactical 30mm Riflescope ~$600
SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 Tactical 30mm Riflescope ~$1500
Any suggestions of scopes to consider? No, 1x6 isn't what I'm looking for -- I want more magnification than that.
