Optic recommendations for SPR

[rwlivez1]

Hello all,
I am building a MK12 mod H style rifle and looking for optic recommendations. My property has a max shooting distance of 700 yards. I have been looking at Trijicon Credo 2-10, Trijicon Tenmile 3-18, Steiner H6xi and Maven R.S 1.2.

Will take recommendations outside of these scopes as well.

Thank you in advance.

Of your choices, I would do the Tenmile 3-18.

Appreciate it, and if you have any recommendations other than the three, feel free to add them.

I like the 2.5-10x scopes. I had a NF 2.5-10x32 on my 16” for quite some time. I’ve recently switched it to a NF 1-8x. On a lightweight build I’m putting together, I’m trying a SFWA 2.5-10x32.

I have a vortex 3.5-10x50 and I don’t like it.

the Gen 1 I had on it died. Now I have then Gen 2 with the V2 reticle. Quite pleased with this combo. Wish the windage turret was half as long. Them when I put the cap on it’s so out of place.

I personally wouldn’t run my RS1.2 on a gasser.

Steiner h6xi 2-12 all day every day. Love that scope.

I’ll take a look now. I appreciate it

I read complaints of the reticle being too fine. Do you have that issue, I like that I can cap windage if I have to go through the woods.

Haven’t had that problem. Looks like a simple reticle at low power. Usable at 4x and above.

That sounds perfect. I appreciate your insight.

I have a mk12 Mod 0 PRI upper on a m16a2 lower with geissle stuff. AEM5 can……. Absolute necessity.

Mk12 ish.

Literally my absolute favorite rifle. PA is dumb and you have to only use manual action firearms for deer season, so I put a Kali Key in it and now it’s even quieter as an AR bolt action straight pull

Anyways, have ran an SWFA 3-15x42 and now trijicon credo 2-10

Loved both but enjoy the trijicon more for the rifle. Fits it better but I like to run around to different shooting positions and do all that

Can’t say enough good things especially with mk262ish ammo

All .556 shoots great in it though

Check out snipershide forum….. wealth of knowledge there on the platform

My build is not a clone either, and is going to run a 16 inch barrel like the mod H. The woods on my property have a lot of so went with a 16 over 18.

Regarding the credo 2-10. You can give me insight but I don’t think the lack of side parallax will hinder my use (can range from 100-700 yards). What’s your experience? Also does the lack of a locking elevation turret create issues for you or is it robust enough to prevent getting knocked off 0?

Thank you again for input.
