    We were on a grid like that in MD, only time we ever lost power over 24hrs was after a hurricane came through. Other than that power losses were minimal. 30-40 min at best

    Ok I just mounted this scope last weekend and as an after thought considering doing this with a 45* pic rail adapter


    Anybody know how far above the rail the adapter sits I'd hate to have to buy a set of high rings these mediums have the scope down tight to the rifle with a 44mm objective. Theres about 1/16 to 1/8" clearance between the bottom of the scope and rail.

    Fun little project just getting started

    I like the PSTs,,,, I have a couple in 5-25. That said, the Strike Eagles are good too, if the PST is over budget. I haven't tried any of the 1- powered, but the 5-25 have glass close to PST,, the turrets are mushier, but decent. Not a deal if you're not a PRS shooter or another discipline you're having to dial quickly and accurately.

    Cool. That's the one I would get, too.

    I'm running a PA SLx 4-14x44 with the R-grid reticle on my Grendel.

    All good choices.

    I'll add the Nikon P-TACTICAL .223 - 1.5-4.5x20mm.

    Nikon is out of the scope business now, but there may still be some out there.

    I have the Burris MTAC 1-4x24, but IMO the scopes I mentioned have considerably better glass than the MTAC and Strike Eagle.

    Nikon is sadly out of the scope business, although they will continue to honor the warranty of their scopes.

    As a very inexpensive combo I like my Primary Arms SFP 1-6 SLx in an Aero Ultralight Extended mount.

    Thanks! Is the scope and mount combo line up with your eye with a good cheek weld?

    If you are looking for Vortex products it is absolutely worth watching some of the Demo/Refurb sellers. AAoptics and EuroOptic are twi I've used in the past with great success (Steiner T5XI for sub $800). Currently I see: Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6x24 VMR-2 MRAD Like New Demo Scope PST-1607 | SHIPS FREE! - EuroOptic.com for $500. The most 'use' I've ever seen on a refurb is a scuffed box. (EDIT: I guess the $500 isn't really that much of a deal. Probably better to find someone who can throw in rings or something)

    I don't know what I'm looking for at the moment. Just hearing opinions of what yall got. I mainly shoot irons and I don't want to have to change my cheek weld position to have to see through a scope. Not even sure what kind of mount I would need to make this happen.

    1.5" will be basically identical to iron sights cheek weld. Get a cantilever mount if you put your nose to the charging handle or find yourself close to the charging handle.

    Good info! I don't touch my nose to the charging handle though.
