I have the TMR-D optic on my 14.5" SR-15 mod 2. I actually just wrote a little about it in a thread where johndough asked about pictures of the reticle. I like how it's on the low end weight compared of to other 1-6x's. Supposedly the 7.62 version is supposed to line up fairly well to 77gr rounds. I struggled between the 3 reticles and ended up with the TMR-D

I'd save your money and get a VX6.

What reticle do you have in your VX6?? I think he's talking about your return of investment there. The MK 6 costs over $2k because it's built to be tough for the military. It even has a 20mm objective with a 34mm tube. The tube was made thicker to withstand abuse, are you really going to put it through that kind of abuse? The VX6 was built for 3 Gun and it's tough enough to take 3 Gun level abuse and it has a 24mm objective lens. A bigger objective will allow more light into the scope so you can see better. The VX6 also costs less than $1000. That being said you should always buy the best scope you can afford and if you really can afford a $2k easily, the best in the market is supposed to be the Kahles 1-6x. |

Is that tube thicker...or is there just more dead space under it allowing for deformation that will not affect inner workings in excess of what the vx6 could tolerate? Look at the diameter vs. weight of the two, and you tell me ; ) People lose their minds over perception. This is literally all that sells the vcog,lol *mmmm....Igor see big housing. Igor like! Igor no care about erector assembly or lens bedding! " |

All of Leupolds scopes are pretty darn durable, as a whole. The VX6 is a 3-gunner scope (based on reticle), while the CMR-W was more of a bid at the SCO contract, which ultimately was retracted and "will live to see another day...", along with the VCOG and a couple of other offerings. The MK8 answers the mail with a GREAT! reticle (H27D), but cost and weight and so on make it less than appealing. |

I love the CMR-W reticle, but wish they made it in SFP and offered it in the VX-6. I have no use for FFP on a 1-6x optic.
I'm thinking about a 1-6x myself, and am leaning towards the Mark 6 with the CMR2 reticle. I have no problem with push button illumination. |

What height scope mount would I need for the CMR-W 5.56?
My SR-15 has a 16" barrel, and a 1 in 7 twist |

The industry standard one-piece flattop mounts all hover around 1.5" +/-. I personally prefer a slightly lower mount. But that's me, and it has to be YOUR preference. |

I use the Larue lt-104 on most of my scopes, it's at 1.5" and perfect with my sopmod, str stocks. Like already stated, it depends on your preference and what suits you best.

There is a trend to higher mounts (1.93") because of the more "heads up" orientation that it allows. However, I tend to agree with you. I like to use "memory points" to bring the gun up the same way each time, indexing off of various facial features/stock contact points. It feels "right" to me and is faster FOR ME. YMMV 100% here. |
