i am looking for a scope for my 20" 1/7 rifle for 200-500 yds. I am interested in a BDC reticle. I already have a Larue LT-104 mount. I want something that will hold 0 if i swap it over for my EoTech. i want to go inexpensive as possible - under $400 if i can, or close to it. i'd like something a little smaller, and a larger aperture. i recently tried a Leupold Vari-X III 6.5 x 20 x 50 = it was an awesome scope, but way too big.
i have looked at a trijicon 3x9 accupoint locally, but it is a little out of my price range and not BDC. i have read about Falco 4x14, and Nikon Monarch 2.5x12(10?) ... no one has experience and the local "gun store" specializes in selling to the "rich" = $1000 scopes, $900 Century AKs, $1500 DPMS .223s ,,, you get my drift - no help here. thanks for your opinions. |

Our Viper 3-9x40 or 2-7x35 both come with BDC reticles and are under $400. In fact we even have a $50 mail in rebate right now. Lots of people really like the Vipers. I haven't seen as much feedback here, but they get high praise over on Sniper's Hide. If you have any more questions about them just let me know. Thanks! -Sam Almost forgot, here's the link to them on our website: http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-viper-3-9x40-riflescope-dead-hold-bdc-reticle |

The problem with BDC is that they work with one ballistic coefficient at a specific velocity.
Are you going to limit yourself to the 62 grain mil-spec load? That is what the vast majority of BDC's for ar's are registered for. Some are registered for the 55 grain mil-spec load. Make sure of what you buy then forget shooting anything else using the BDC for holdovers. Take a look at the leupold AR series. Burris also makes a line of ballistic plex scopes. |
