[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 534375, member: 13311"] Denny, You didn't give us a price range but here are some options. If you go under $500, durability and repeatability usually suffer, but Leupold Mark AR and Vortex Viper HS are solid in that price range. The Vortex Viper pst, Nikon Tactical, Leupold VX3 LR with knobs, SWFA Super Sniper (new models), and the fixed power I.O.R are all great scopes in the $600-$850ish area. A budget above that and I am no help at all. I have used a U.S. Optics 10x which is very good but has weaker glass than my I.O.R 10x. My I.O.R is straight 10x ($800)on a 6.5-284 with 140 VLDs going 2940; with a 200 yd zero I have enough elevation to get to 1500 yds and make 800 to 1000 seem pretty simple. I have a 2.5-10 I.O.R and love it also, the only real drawback is you can't get custom engraved knobs for them. Keep in mind that you will need a high end range finder to keep up with your rig, and that is where the real cost will be. Hope i was of some help. Shag [/QUOTE]
