I recently purchased a SCAR 17 and I am hunting for optics. I like the quick acquisitions of Aimpoints but I feel Im selling the rifle short of the potential it has. Here is what Im looking at and I would be doing the optic/mount combo.
Leupold (huge fan) MK 4 1.5-5X20 MR/T M2: The BDC does come in 308 correct? How do I get it in that caliber? No option when ordering, or do I email my specifics?
Nightforce 1-4x24 NXS: Is this night vision capable as well like the Leupold?
Do you have any pictures of either of these scopes in use with NVG. Preferably PVS 14s using a weapons mount. Thanks.
One last thing. The SPR mount will work with the rear sight of a SCAR correct? No height problems?
PVS-14s if I remember correctly aren't rated for 308 recoil and typically don't stand up to those quite so well. If you're going with NV, the 22's, L3 M2124s, and several other NV optics rated for higher calibers would be the way to go. As for a good scope for short to distance work, the Nightforce 1-4 is a great way to go. It's small, light, and excellent quality, tracking, and glass.
