Anyone got a good LPVO rec? Looking around the $500 mark. It's for a 16 inch RRA .300BO. Hunting / steel plinker 300 yards and in. Thanks.
 
My cousin has a Athlon argos BTR 1-8 on his, we haven't shot it yet though. With their mil/le discount it would be in your price range, seems robust, but again, we haven't used it yet, just mounted. 30mm tube.

 
What do you find deficient about it? Genuine question, I just ordered one yesterday.

you can't see the reticle against Georgia timbers, it just disappears and then the illum isn't daylight bright.

Sounds like you need a traditional German #4 reticle. It was made for exactly that type of hunting. They have been using it on wild boar for decades. I used to have a 2.5x Leupold with the #4 when I lived in the mountains of NC. Served me very well.

Now you can even get one with a red dot at the center.
 
Just switched to a 1-10x 35mm tube. Running on a AR 16" 300 BlackOut. really nice glass

The illumination seems to be bright enough for daylight, and the dot is 1 MOA at 8x, so 8 MOA at 1x, pretty easy to spot quickly it seems. Not great for lr precision, but great for inside 300-400 or so

I like athlon. I was really impressed with the Cronus
 
I watched several you tube reviews before I bought one.
Kitt Badger
704 Tactical
Dark Loard of optics
those were the best I found. 704 Tactical has a link for a great deal on a Samson 35mm quick detach rail mount.
Awesome I really appreciate it. I'm going to check that out. I'm pretty excited about it. Is ~$750 the going rate or are there places to get them cheaper?
