My 24 year old son is wanting me to sell his brand new Meopta Meostar R1 4-16x44 duplex reticle scope so that he an buy a Bergara BMP 308. For some reason he wants the Bergara badly and is willing to part ways with an excellent scope. I think he just wants a somewhat precision rifle built on an AR platform and the Bergara has many of the features he's looking for. His thought process is to buy the rifle, put his Leupold VX2 on it for a short time (I know) until he can obtain a somewhat tactical scope in the $400 to $700 range. I've advised him to strongly consider the 3-15 SWFA SS, or maybe the Burris XTR, or maybe the Bushnell Elite Tactical in the same variable range. What are some other somewhat tactical scopes in that price range that have decent optics with dependable turret adjustments that he should consider?

I'd stick to the SS. There is a lot to be said about the track record.

For post from me so take it for what it's worth.
3-15 SS is a heck of a value. Mine performs on par with scopes I've paid much more for. Also, for $799 he can get a Steiner P4Xi 4-16.

Tell him to save up a bit, keep the scope and buy the rifle when he can afford it...?

tell him to get the 6.5 creed instead of the .308.
