Scope Req’s for 6.5 Grendel AR

[PapaSmurf]

Hey everyone,

Wanting some opinions on glass for my 6.5 Grendel AR. Bench and future varmint gun. Sold an old Vortex Diamondback with no exposed turrets & simple duplex.

Not really picky. I’m a simple man & used to SFP, MOA. Not a huge fan of Christmas tree reticles but I don’t mind branching out, either. Tend to just dial than do big holdovers. Picked up a Veracity PH for my hunting rifle and love it. Really looking for a mid-range (<$600) optic, but might could be persuaded else wise. Something decent for the price. Don’t care too much about weight.

If it helps I get discounts through ExpertVoice & GovX with Vortex & Athlon. Never used Athlon before. I was leaning toward a Venom or Helos BTR Gen 2 (Expert Voice has the 4-20 for ~$420). They also have an Ares ETR 3-18 on outlet for $500. I just have no experience with any of those optics.

Thanks guys.

I've used the Arken EPL4, SWFA 3-9, SWFA 6x fixed, and Vortex Venom on my Grendel's.

The SWFA 3-9 fit my hunting needs best and that's what I run today. If not the 3-9 I'd be running the 6x still. But I didn't mind the Arken or Vortex either, just that SWFA is more robust.

With your discount I'd go Venom 3-15. If not look at SWFA.

I’ve been using a Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42 with MOA Center Dot reticle on my 6.5 Grendel. It’s an illuminated SFP scope with exposed turrets. I like it so much I just bought a second for a 308 bolt gun.
