I am looking to put a piece of glass on my 6.5 grendel that will allow me to engage targets at 800+ yds. I want to try a mildot although I am not proficient at all with that reticle. Was thinking Night force, Leupold, or Nikon. Piggy bank is a little tight so nothing more than a decent nightforce, say $1500 or so. Less expensive would be better, but not looking for cheap. Is there a mil dot with FFP or are most SFP? All the websites I have been to it looks like they are all adjusted in MOA, I would like the .1 mil adjustment with the zero adjustable target turrets (I think). Am I asking too much for too little? This will be by far the most $$ piece of optic equiptment in my safe. Thanks for any help.
ETA: it will be an Alexander arms 19.5" upper on a Rock river lower. |

Snipers hide is probably your best bet for long range advice. That said I have Zeis 4.5-14 mildot Conquest for the same thing and it is the schnizzle. However on my M14NM I mounted a Leupold 4.5-14 LR/T mildot and nail everything to 800 meters. But the surprise is the Sightron 4-16 mildot on my Savage Tactical that hits steel consistantly at 1K.
Sightron, $500. Zeis Conquest from euroopitcs, $700. Leupold from Mike at CS Gunworks, $900. |
