Finally, after many months of searching I received a shipping notice for the Savage FLCP-SR that I've been wanting and looking for since last summer. And now I need help in picking a scope for it. It will primarily be used in predator liquidation and some whitetail hunting. Vortex Optics has my attention but there any numerous models and features. Advise. |

Biggest factor will be your budget.
For Vortex optics answer: FFP or SFP? MOA or Mrad? Any special reticle? magnification range? Illumination or None? Exposed turrets or capped? I personally prefer FFP. I just picked up a 4-16x-50 PST FFP Mrad. It will live on a precision rifle/hunting rifle. So I wanted some low magnification with a little more magnification for range work. I always prefer illumination because sometimes it helps seeing the reticle in different lighting and background situations. I like FFP because the reticle is always true to size vs the sight picture. |

I just got my FLCP-SR and love it. I too was looking for a scope and am going to go with a Vortex Viper PST 6-24 FFP. And that's what everyone recommended to me. Have you shot your rifle yet? I was finally able to see the right handed version (FCP-SR) in person over the weekend and it was really nice. I cannot wait until tomorrow when mine arrives at the bow shop. |

I would prefer capped turrets, illumination doesn't matter that much to me, magnification range would probably be a 14x, I have no idea on the reticle and would like MRAD. |
