AR-10 budget scope recommendation

[calicojack]

Decent deal on a Vortex Viper at Midway for $229.99.

This is the best deal right here! I have this scope and paid substantially more for it. Nice bright view.

Check out the Arken Optics site. Seems like every Guntuber loves them.

That's because they're getting them for free in exchange for reviews. And, pro-tip, these guys want free stuff more than they care about giving critical reviews.

Thanks, picked up a pstII for 6.5G build have going on. Probably a little over scoped with 3-15 but great deal on the MOA model !

Nice scope - I hope it exceeds your expectations on your new build.

Vortex Venom 5-25x36 ffp moa. Here's the look through it at a house that's 200 yards away. The image on the top is the unmagnified house. I took it to delmarva sporting clays recently just before dusk while it was overcast and snowing. I was absolutely smacking the 4" steel at 300 yds on command. I could shoot and watch the impact. I don't mean the steel swinging, I mean the exact location the bullet splashed into on the steel. I was also able to see holes on paper targets at 300 through it for making adjustments.

It, combined with my 6.5 grendel, made me feel like I was using a cheat code or something.

If you're looking for a budget than can try these Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 6-24x50mm or Primary Arms 4-14x44mm. The Athlon one is a ultra-durable scope with aircraft-grade aluminum construction and 3.3-inch eye relief.

You have a lot of choices...Leupold...Burris...Vortex and others. One option is to look at Natchez Shooters Supply as they carry blems that are discounted. You may be able to find a better scope for less as a blem.

I have got a couple of great deals from Natchez that way.

Yeah, Natchez has some great deals on blems and discontinued models. I bought a Bushnell Tac from them for like $300+ off when they were discontinued. Still kicking myself for not picking up a couple of the Nikon tacticals when they were closing them out.

Also, for lower power short/mid-range, the Burris RT-6 is a fantastic scope for the money

AR10 might be rough on scopes not meant for heavy semi auto actions. Just a thought. I do like Primary Arms. Although I did just get a Vortex PST2 for my AR10.

Also, there is an optics tab.

Agreed. I really like my 4-14x FFP ACSS scope
