Vortex strike eagle 1-8 power. Lighted reticle. Reticle is etched so you dont need the light, but its there if you want it.
A really good scope for the price, and nice on an AR.

ACOG all day
I have two S&W's Sport II's and a S&W XV Pro, 16". All are very good shooters.
ACOG is old school, proven in combat that still works just fine, would be more versatile with a RMR mounted either on top or at a 45 Degree for CQB.
If you are looking for a coyote killer. I would choose a 1-4 or 1-6 variable or a prism with a 3X magnifier.
I have a Steiner 1x4 variable on one rifle. Incredible glass and a very good reticles for both ranging and for CQB if needed.
A Holosun HS512C Holographic with a Holosun 3X magnifier on another. Love the reticles, very simular to the Eotech, without the problems.
A Sig Romeo 5 on a another. All serve different purposes.
I am not a fan of Vortex optics. I have seen more failures from Vortex scopes then all other scopes combined.
Having said that, The Vortex Razor 1-6 has most of the feature I would want in a Variable scope at a reasonable price. Though they are heavy.
The Trijicon Credo 1x8 FFP is a very good scope with an awesome recital that can also be used for CBQ in a pinch.

With a 50-200 sight in with this scope I am money out to 300, probably 400 if I set steel for it. 62gr pmc x-tac.

I have 7-8 vortex scopes.
I've got one on my 45/70 guide gun and my 450 Bushmaster AR.
I shoot thousands of rounds a year.
Zero vortex failures for me.
I think some of you guys have anger issues. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Do you guys use your rifles to kick down reinforced doors or chop fire wood?

Amen. I have ditched Vortex. I have one remaining I found, dang. Every single one of my Vortex (insert anything) was sent back at least once. They're customer service is good though.

I like their life time warranty and customer service is great. Also great discounts for military/vets/first responders and such. Best prices with discount I have found are at eurooptics.com.
So I am debating on the first focal plane vs the second focal plane. Be my first focal plane scope and from my research looks like FFP is way to go but would love some
Input. First focal plane is $ 475 after discount and second is $359. Running on colt LE 6920 at this time but may move to 6.5 Grendel down the road and will be used for coyote hunting or larger game when or if I switch to a 6.5 Grendel.
Thanks so much

I've been looking at a few different LPVO's and for the money the Trijicon Ascent 1-4 is a pretty decent little scope that doesn't cost a great deal too. The Triji Ascent doesn't have a lighted reticle but for many that's a non issue. The eye box on those is pretty forgiving as well.

For a LPVO that has pretty good glass, a very forgiving eye box, and doesn't require you to sell a kidney to purchase, the Vortex PST GenII 1-6 is a lot of scope for the money.

Thanks so much. I have an older diamond back 1x4 on there but just have not had much luck with it over 100 yards.

Got my last one at night with ATN X-Sight 4K Pro at night. Situation is what really dictates what you should use and having multiple day options (close or long ranges) and at least one night option is what I suggest.
