Searching through optics for a SCAR16s and this seems to be the one I keep coming back to. Not looking for long range optics, more short range within 200-300m and not a red dot. Budget is around $600.

Any input would be appriciated.

I have a nikon scope on my Rock River Coyote ...I am thinking that is the way I am going to go for the SCAR17

another option I am considering

I like the Leupold better. Better eye relief, better reticle, better clarity I think, based on a couple things I read (never used either).

Received the 2012 price list from Leupold for Mil/LE

will be utilizing the program for some optics, very good pricing

Glad to hear it! I've heard the program offers excellent pricing and service, but haven't taken advantage of it yet. I definitely will when I need optics.

thanks for the heads up again, usually i am the one hunting out all the programs, but hadn't sniffed out Leupold yet as I wasn't looking into any of their optics till now

Finally pulled the trigger on the VXR Patrol 1.5-4x model along with the Mark 2 30mm IMS to match up

maybe not the top end scope a SCAR might deserve, but will sit up there nicely and came in well below my inital budget estimate
