My 18" SPR has been completed for a while, but in need of a scope capable of 500-600yd shots. I want it to be mil/mil with a ranging reticle. Illuminated is not mandatory but would be preferred for some low light shooting. 30mm tube a must. Plinking steel, punching paper, and hog / coyote hunting are going to be the uses. Here are the 3 candidates I am trying to decide between:
Vortex PST 2.5-10x40 SFP EBR-1 ($599.00) IOR 2.5-10x42 FFP MP-8 ($1174.95) Nightforce 2.5-10x32 SFP NP-R2 ($1291 +) I'm not sure I am sold on FFP scopes but it does have some appeal. I would like to cut my teeth at ranging, I have 1000 yards at my disposal. The Nightforce is my third choice only because of the smaller objective lens and adding mil rad/zero stop turrets adds $258.00, they have a great reputation. The IOR is a bit cheaper w/ FFP and I have heard the glass is as good but I guess some past quality issues have me second guessing. The Vortex is very affordable (and on backorder at the moment), I like the reticle and even with SFP it is marked at 10, 5, 2.5 to help with ranging. I am just not sure if the glass will be close to the other two. Also, how does the illumination between the three compare? |

Quoted:
I think you're misunderstanding the use of a 5.56. 1000 yards...? First sentence in op says I will use it up to 600yards. I have at my disposal 1000 yards with which to set up randon targets at different distances in order to utilize the reticle. For 1000 yards i have my 7mm RM
