There are a few fundamental requirements you should look for when selecting an optic:
- The turrets should track accurately, such that you can return to zero.
- The reticle should not obscure the target
- Provide enough clarity for target ID.
The options below represent a good starting point.
Better Glass #
- Zero Compromise – The best of the best. It’s literally right there in the name.
- Nightforce Optics – Bombproof glass with a proven track record with the US military.
- Vortex Razor – Quality glass and a stellar warranty, but these run heavy.
Better Price #
- Leupold Mk4HD – The best value for money glass on the market right now.
On My Rifle #
- I’m currently evaluating a Zeiss LRP S3. Initial impressions are good – look for a forthcoming review.
