Best Tactical Scope for AR

[Daddypants]

I have a KAC SR15 Mod 1 and I want to get a good scope for it. My EOTech is just not enough for it. This thing is a tack driver and it deserves some decent optics. What do you guys recommend? I am kinda leaning to 1x-6x and 1x-8x. I could use some advice from some of you tactical gurus. Thanks.

Do you have a budget?

This one should be good.

Under $2K for sure. I'd prefer around $1K or less but I understand that may not have a decent option.

If you could go with a fixed power scope then you could get into Schmidt & bender for around your budget or a variable Steiner. I really like the Steiner scopes cause the optics quality is not to far behind the Schmidt & bender. Just my $0.02

check out nightforce

In a 1x the SWFA 1-6 is real hard to beat.

that SWFA with the Geiselle trigger and Surfire 60 rd for $1129 makes it even harder to beat.

Leupold MK6 1-6
Vortex Razor II 1-6

These would be my first two choices. If you want a little cheaper I have been very happy with my Leupold MK4 1.5-5. I have also been somewhat impressed with my Vortex Viper PST 1-4. Lots of choices out there. Look through as many as you can before you buy!

~$1k - SWFA 1-6

$1k - $1.5k - us optics 1.5-6, vortex Razor HD gen II 1-6, Nightforce 1-4, Bushnell smrs 1-6.5 (depending on reticle but can go up to $2k)

$1.5k-$2k - us optics 1-8, Leupold Mark 6, Bushnell SMRS 1-8

>$2k - Leupold mark 8, S&B 1-8

Smoking deal! You have a link?

there ya go......I really want to get this setup for myself, it would be great on the 6.8 I'm building, but I'm pinching pennies to buy a Ranger 900 Crew and an extra $1100 just wouldn't squeeze into my budget until after the 1st of the year.

I've got an eotech 512 for sale in the classifieds... not a scope but.... well...I'm just trying to sell it

I could've sworn I copied and pasted this, but just realized it wasn't in my post

I like my Bushnell SMRS 1-6.5, very good glass for the money imo. The BTR-1 reticle is a good mix for CQB work and still get the job done at long range.
