Looking for a scope 3-15 or similar
FFP, Mil, 100-1000yards.
Weight is not a concern
Going on 6.5C
Using Employment discount
Wait time doesnt concern
Shooting all light conditions
I did include some scopes that are not 3-15 and am aware of this.

What would you pick and why?
Thanks for opinions
If you have one of these scopes for sale feel free to shoot me a message but keep in mind i will base asking price against cost of new with discount that i wont list in this thread.

you may not care, but I am testing one of these:  http://athlonoptics.com/product/talos-btr-4-14x44-aplr-ffp-ir-mil/

cheap enough that I can move down to something else if it does not hold up (on an 18" 6.5G right now).

So far, so good out to 400Y.

Here is a Gen I Razor for $1699 w/ free Spuhr mount at MHSA.

If not that then I would look hard at the new Bushnell LRTSi 4.5-18x here.

Also, the Bushnell DMR IIi is an excellent value here.

Honestly if the DMR IIi had been out when I got my Gen II Razor I probably would have gotten the DMR IIi as I loved my original DMR and only grabbed the Razor since I got an awesome deal on it.

Bushnell is making some great optics right now and they have a XRS/ERS II coming out soon I believe too.

I currently have 2 Gen II Razors and 2 Bushnell Elite Tactical scopes and in many ways I actually like the Bushnell's more.  The fact that they are cheaper and lighter is just icing on the cake.

Given the Gen I Razor deal though I would lean towards it as my friend has one on his 338LM and it is a very nice scope plus it weighs a LOT less than my 3-18 Gen II does.
