I just finished my first build. A RRA 20" varmit free float. Wilson 1:8" barrel upper. on a Superior arms lower. So now i'm looking for a scope to slap on here. My price range is up to $500. I've been looking at Super Sniper, Burris and Lepold but can't decided. Give me some recommendations guys!

I built a similar DPMS rifle. I put a 10x Super Sniper with Warne rings and all the goodies. A great scope, well within the $500. My rifle will shoot sub MOA. Scope is clear and I can see the holes at 100 yards no problem. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a255/cjtfd/varmint.jpg |

1. www.samplelist has a 10x42M Super Sniper ( with side paralax adjustment) for 359.00 + larue SPR for 195.00 = 550.00 (570.00 with shipping) Oops 50.00 over. 2. Okay the 3200 on the EE right now for $200.00 + larue SPR for 195.00 = 395.00 (400.00 with shipping) 3. How about 10 X40 MilDot Bushnell from EGay for 186.00 + larue SPR for 195.00 = 381.00 (387.00 with shipping) Can you can see what I am getting at here. Personally, I would go with number 1 above and not eat for a week. |

You cant go wrong with the Super Sniper or the Bushnell 3200 10X. 3200's cheaper, but no parallax adjustment (never a problem for me out to 600 yards when it was on my 308). I traded my SS for an eotech a while back and keep looking to get another, there just aren't any around when I have the $$. Bushnell in the back, Super Sniper up front:  Super Sniper on my AR:  |

If you're looking at Burris, I'd seriously consider a Weaver Grand Slam. I have one in 6x20x40, and it's a great scope. I think the glass is clearer than either of the Burris Fullfield IIs I have. I have it on a .22-250 that's an absolute tack driver. They're very reasonably priced at around $335 for that model; the lower mag. ones are a little cheaper. 4x14x40 might work well on that rifle. I also have a 10x Super Sniper...very nice scope, but the Weaver is better in terms of glass, and at pretty much the same price, it's a more versatile scope since you're not stuck with a fixed power. I'm actually about to buy another Grand Slam for one of my 20" ARs. |
