I personally have the atacr and love the scope. I looked at getting the kahles and loved everything about it except for the warranty. from my understanding it is only a ten year warranty and if this is going to be your last gun that would play a major role to me. The vortex is also a nice scope, but I felt the atacr was a better scope. I recently purchased a swaro x5i and that is a nice scope as well.

I have the ATACR (non F1 version), and like 98% of it. I can't stand how the whole ocular housing turns with the power adjustment. I have played with the others quite a bit. As far as glass since you put that as your number 1, I put them in the following order: Razor Gen II, ATACR, Kahles. As far as warranty, I think if any break they will make it right. Not sure what they all cost currently. Are you sold on a FFP scope? If so that's fine, you listed great choices. If not, it opens up some other choices. I have FFP on my comp rifles, but SFP on my LR hunting rigs. Good luck in your search. You have 3 great ones identified so far. If FFP, I would also consider the Minox ZP5 5-25x56 in the reticle of your choice (MR4 for me). Not sure what the actual street price, but they are a great option for those who loved the Premier Heritage line of scopes. I don't think you can go wrong. Look at weight...at 45+, weight may be a factor in the decades to come (not sure how the rifle is being used). Some of those things are near 50 ounces...

You have them in the order I would purchase. Many others will have them in other orders. The bottom line is you can't go wrong with any of those. Is there a dealer or a match you can go to and look through some scopes? It's a good way to verify what you like. Also look at the reticles and see if there is a reticle you love. That may drive you to one product. But all three are going to be great optically, mechanically, and last you lifetime. Hopefully others will chime in soon.

I'd look at the Swarovski X5 as well, I really like mine. Glass is great, turrets are stupid easy to use.
