Scope Recommendations for an AR10
I have a new AR10 and currently have an older 3x10x40 Leupold mounted on it and an RMR secondary optic on order. Im looking to upgrade the scope to something w a bit more magnification for my weary and ever aging eyes. Im considering just moving up to a leupold 3x18x44 but figured I would ask if anything is highly recommended.
Most of my shooting is 100-300 yards forever competing for the best shot group; with the occasional outing to a long distance range/property. Im most familiar w the mil-dot reticle but would consider others. Budget im thinking the 1-3k range.

Re: Scope Recommendations for an AR10
I personally wouldn't dump $3k if I was only shooting 300 yards, but that's just me. If you have that much of a budget, I'd recommend that you buy a camera system if your eyes aren't great.
I'd go with a 30mm or 34mm tube in the optic. If you want to spend $2-3k...Vortex Razor is solid as well as Athlon Cronus, Burris and Bushnell have good optics as well.
Mil dot is old technology and I don't like how much the mil dots obstructs the target. I like hash marks much better as it's thin and you can still see the target.

Re: Scope Recommendations for an AR10
Im kinda agreeing w ya. The 3x10x40 Leupold I have now is a 30mm tube and the 18x44 has a 34mm tube. Likewise I was thinking similarly about the mildot and thinking perhaps giving the TMR a try but to be honest im not familar w the other articles available.

Re: Scope Recommendations for an AR10
The Horus reticles are neat as it's great for unknown distances. Do not buy a Horus scope as they are garbage.
I was thinking about building/buying a camera system for when I shoot long range.
