What's the best optic for the money? Vortex Strike Eagle? Have a 16" Larue stealth barrel and need an optic to finish out the build. What's the call?
I want either a 1-4 or 1-6. I'm thinking 1-6 but I don't have nightforce money |

Maybe the PA 1-8 or even their 1-6 but a lifetime warranty with great glass is usually why Vortex is doing such an incredible job of putting great optics in people's hands. |

Larue. ARMS if you want a more dated look. But personally I don't see how people get away with them mounted so far back. I guess there a re quite a few more cantilever mounts nowadays though. Leupy has one, American Defense. Giessele has one that you need to take out a loan for. Although come to think of it, I'm not sure it's any more than a larue. I forget.

My rifle was too long, so I spent $200 and waited 6 months to make it shorter. Then it was too loud, so I spent another $200 and waited another 6 months to make it quieter. This made it longer again.
