I'm in the same boat as you. I've contemplated everything from Aimpoint's, to ACOG's, to 1-4's. Sorry I can't help, just looking for inspiration.
Middle rifle for reference....also a 14.5in  |

Neither
 --run a Zeiss Conquest Duralyt 1.2-5x36.
You get awesome glass with a much better eye box, especially at top magnification. |

3rd guy here in the same boat... lol
So many options in 1-4 power. Been looking at the MK4, Trijicon, Vortex, NF, Burris MTAC, Meopta and I still cant make up my mind. I'll be watching this thread for suggestions as well. |

Thanks for the Zeiss recommendation, I'll have to look into that.
Personally I'm leaning towards the Vortex because not only is it a 30mm tube with 4 inches of eye relief, but the magnification goes all the way from non-magnified to 6x! Plus, all that eye relief gives me an excuse to marry it with one of Vortex's awesome cantilever mounts, like this quick-release which boasts 3 inches of offset. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-adr-x-cantilever-ring-mount-for-30mm-riflescope-tube-3-inch-offset Is there any reason to not go with this optic, something I don't know about or overlooked? |

See if you can look through one. At 6x, both my girlfriend and I really disliked shooting the Swarovski 1-6x24, since the exit pupil became so small. The Zeiss addresses that, with some tradeoffs.
The Vortex has a better reticle for hold over, which is nice. That's the one thing, other than changing the on/off controls, that I'd change on the Zeiss. |

I like the NF 1-4 FC2. Between the 2 scopes mentioned I'd go Vortex 1-6.

I don't have this particular NF but as a NF owner this one is next on my list. I cannot say enough about this brand.

can't go wrong with a 1-4 little bulky for a battle rifle for my tastes but I have a VX R 1-4 on one of my ARs I prefer EoTechs for my battle rifles although I would like to try an aimpoint mirco sometime.
