I’ve been tempted very strongly to look into (buy) the ACSS series scopes from Primary.... It all depends on use, budget and how high falutin’ you want to feel.

They had a great scope on sale in the GLx line (Gold line....made in Phillipines) but is no longer on the site. Not sure if it was only for Christmas or are tweaking it. Plenty of options in the SLx line (bottom line and good value for what it is). There is a 1-8 in the PLx (Platnium line) and it's a little pricey (around $1,300...but on sale for $1,100'ish) but it is Japanese glass/made and that is considered some of the top of the line.

Keep an eye out for the GLx line of scopes coming back. Seem to be a GREAT value for the price point and quality. Plus I'm really intrigued by the ACSS reticle

Look for the Leupold mark ar 1.5-4 fire dot SPR. They’re sub $400 downsides are 1 in tube and it’s not a true 1x but they’re daylight bright good glass and a good reticle. I would take it over any vortex offering.
