Scope suggestion. FN SCAR .308

[jackelope]

Looking for scope suggestion for a new SCAR .308 for some long(er) range shooting. Probably go with a Vortex but not brand name committed. Budget is sort of open ended. This is for my stepfather.
Thanks in advance. This isn't exactly my area of knowledge.

I like my Nikons with the BDC and using the Spot On app.

HDMR or a Mk 6

vortex viper 2.5-10x32 FFP would work well...

after that

Nightforce 3.5-15x50 FFP

[6x6in6]

I'd go the Nightforce route if it were mine.

If it's too difficult for him to decide, he could always sell the gun to me at a very reasonable price so I could afford the Nightforce.

Hey Josh,

What's he gonna do with it ? EOTECH perhaps.

Hey Josh,

What's he gonna do with it ? EOTECH perhaps.

He's got the same rifle in 5.56 with the Trijicon Acog and a RMR on top of the Acog.
He wants to run the .308 with an actual scope for longer range shooting.

Since you are already like Vortex scopes, this would be a no brainer.  I'd mount a Vortex HS-T to that thing as fast as the UPS man could drop it off.  That's if you're trying to be a little budget minded and if not, you can never go wrong with a NF.

For the money, I'm very impressed with the new HS-T by Vortex.

Look at the Vortex Viper HSLR. I ordered one from Elknut and its a real nice scope.They come with zero stops and you can get custom turrets for them from Kentron.  After that its either a NF or a Vortex Razor.

 Best to have several - ELCAN SpecterDR 1.5-6x & NF in AD-DELTA QD mount.
 Depends on cash flow and what is expected of it.
 Some good info here-

I am also looking for a scope for my recently purchased SCAR 17S.  I have only read great reviews about Primary Arms 1-6x with ACSS reticle.  Top of the line quality at a fraction of cost compared to Vortex, Luepold, and others. 

Give it a look.

I 2nd the HDMR I have a couple of them and a solid rig for the price and you can get the H-59 Reticle. I am running on my Larue .308 OBR. 3.5 X 21 will stretch that barrel out pretty far.

I just picked up a Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x32 FFP for my SCAR 17s, glass is clear, reticle is nice and crisp... now I just need to buy the mount I want... another $200
