[QUOTE="dwinmeade, post: 1719901, member: 111253"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=4]I use an Athlon, [U]Ares ETR 4.5-30×56 APLR2 FFP IR MOA [/U]on my 6.5 Creedmoor, Savage 12FV, 26" barrel. (Scope is over $1,000) I use an Athlon, [U]Midas TAC 6-24×50 APLR4 FFP MOA[/U] on my Remington 700, 25-06, 24" SS barrel. (Scope is under $1,000) I use an Acme Machine, [U]6-24x50mm FFP Tactical Rifle Scope TR-MOA Reticle[/U] on my BHW 6x45 AR-15, 24" SS Polygon barrel. (Scope is $300) I use Athlon scopes because, pound for pound, they out shine all others in value. I have an Acme Machine scope because it's the best value second to Athlon. I use MOA scopes because I understand how to use the built-in range finding feature. The rule of thumb is you'll have 2x more in a scope vs the rifle cost. Athlon/Acme Machine keeps me 1.5x (mostly less) vs the cost of my rifles, without sacrificing quality. Plus, both Athlon/Acme Machine have a life-time warranty on their products. PS...I do have one Primary Arms, [U]Silver Series 4-14x44mm FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated ARC-2-MOA[/U], purchased before my Athlon/Acme Machine knowledge. It's a short range scope (but deadly), currently on my ATI, 223, 18" Wylde barrel AR-15. LOL...I still have my first scope purchase, a XOPin, [U]4-16X50EG/4-12X50EG Hunting Scope AR Scope[/U]. It's currently on a 300 blackout AR-15, but it floats around between various rifles and the storage selve. It's spot on or it'd be gone. Hopefully my scope experience is helpful. Be prepared to make mistaken purchases along the way before settling on what works best for you...blessings! [/SIZE] [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
