I've been searching the internet for a while trying to figure out what to get.
I have a Colt LE6920 that I would like to put a scope on to do some groundhog hunting and probably target shooting. Would like to be able to reach out 300 to maybe 400 yards. Not real sure what I could pull off but that seems reasonable. 16" barrel. I picked up a used LaRue 1" mount so I'm gonna go with a 1" scope. I'd like to keep the price $500 or under but if need be I can go more. Just want to get a good scope. I'm really considering the Leupold Mark AR. I stopped by a store and looked through some scopes today. He pulled out some Weavers that were interesting. I think they may have been the super slams. What are some suggestions? I think I want something that will help me reach out and be a little tactical at the same time. Thinking mil dots or something like that. Not just cross hairs. Or maybe just cross hairs! I could honestly probably buy a cheap scope and it would work but I want something pretty good. Thanks |

I have this scope on my bolt 223 with a plex reticle but have also had it with the EBX. liked it ok the eyebox isn't a forgiving as some but my mount limitations with talley's cause more issues than the scope
Here is another great scope
Those are both off www.samplelist.com Great site for demo/used optics in great shape for less than new.
These next couple are all new.

The Nitrex TR Two 3-15X42mm Rifle Scope Matte Finish Etched EBX Reticle that SVT pointed out from the sample list is a good buy for the money.
You will have close-long range, side focus, ok glass, etc. Eagle |

Any opinions on the Weaver Tactical Grand Slam 3-10x40. Guess SWFA doesn't carry it.

SWFA has 110% price match, great CS, fast ship, etc and of coarse, a great forum for us to use.

I put a 3-9 x 40 Rapid Z600 Zeiss Conquest on my 6.5 Grendel. It works wonderfully.

Yes. It's # ZEI5214609971 and the rebate is for real. It's a very nice scope BTW. |

Not trying to push my scope on you, but you can get 30 mm rings for you Larue mount without buying a new mount, I had to do that in the past. They don't list them on the website, you will have to call them.

I'm sorry. I didn't see where you already had a 1" mount. Welcome to Optics Talk.

Yeah I inquired about that. Think I deleted the email but I believe was like $40 plus shipping. I got a decent deal on the mount kinda hate to delete the savings by buying different rings. Guess I could try to sell the 1" rings. |
