I actually do have a photo of the Recon with a variable scope on it!
After all these years, still my favorite AR. |

I'm a big fan of the mk4. I think they are a great value when you can get a used one for $6-800. The mk 6 is really nice but for me the eye box and image quality really drops off at 14x or so. Maybe it's partly due to the Horus reticle making it look too cluttered at the highest magnification. The F1 was on my short list when I bought the mk6 but I couldn't find one for a good price at the time. I've been impressed with the compact NF scopes so I've got high hopes for this one. I just found a unimount on the EE to put the 2.5-10x24 in for a little added clone correctness on the recce. http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww232/Kyle_OA/Recce1_zpsbpz04jwq.jpg Pic thread.

It's better than sufficient, better than any other 1-x I'd tried except the short dot with the cc(close combat) setting and the elcan. I found that the mk6 almost looked like .95x magnification, if I bumped it up a tiny bit it looked like 1x to my eye. The elcan has a better reticle for 1x and bigger field of view. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I haven't kept up with some of the newer offerings but if you can find a good deal on the mk6 I say go for it.

I agree 3k is a lot for a low power variable. Price has kept me away from the Mk8 and will probably from that NF if it ever comes out. Pic thread and all... here is my first AR as it morphed into a Mod 0/recce hybrid.

My newest Recce rifle a Savage MSR 15 Recon. Got it at Gander mountain on sale $765 + tax out the door was $817. It was actually cheaper to buy a complete rifle (even from Gander) and change out the stock and grip to something I preferred than it was to build a precision based rifle up from scratch.
Specs: Savage MSR 15 Recon Melonite QPQ 16 1/8-inch barrel with 5R rifling 223 Wylde chamber Mid-length gas system 12inch M-Lok hand guard Custom forged lower receiver I had some spare parts from an AR I parted out so I put those in this rifle. Those parts were JP Extra power spring with a Spikes ST-T2 buffer. the Recon comes with a carbine buffer G2S trigger. The Black hawk blaze trigger was an awesome single stage mil spec type trigger super super smooth, I sold that to a friend at work who is building an AR Norgan Ambi mag release (troys wont fit because of the custom lower) BCM Ambi charging handle I prefer the STR stock and MOE+ grip so I added those and put the blackhawk stuff on my M&P15-22 Optic is a Primary Arms Gen3 1-6X in their deluxe mount 
These groups were shot at 100 yards off a rest using Nosler 69gr custom match. For a factory built rifle can you ask for much better at that price??
