Ok momma put the hell naw on the 4k nonsense
I get 1600 after the first of the year
She called me crazy as hell some nonsense about bills and such

$1600 will get you a nice scope.
Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2
Delta Stryker HD
Tract Toric HD, and a few others.
They are all made in Japan by LOW using the same scope body design, but each has different features per brand.

I have a Cronus and a Stryker. Athlon only offers a "Tree" style reticles, where Delta offers 3 different reticle choices and also has locking turrets.
Athlon reticle-

Delta reticle-

Choose one with the reticle, and feature's that you like. For long range use, a Tree reticle comes in handy, but I prefer a less cluttered reticle on my scopes that I use for hunting like the Delta.

Didn't see it mentioned but, one of the best things you can do to guard against potentially buying a knock-off is buying from a reputable retailer like Mile High. To each their own but, I would almost never consider buying an optic from Amazon, Ebay, or any other large aggregator source like that. Too much potential for fakes.

And buying a Vortex product shows just how stupid you can be.

I guess the Army is stupid as well. Your words aged like fine wine.

Army finally picks an optic for Next Generation Squad Weapon

An estimated 250,000 optics will be delivered over the next decade to close combat troops.

I'm looking to get out to 1k long range . I'm talking to a guy about a scope but I know nothing about long range scopes I need some help please

Precision shooting is a THING! Good for you! I can't help you directly but if you don't find something (I haven't read all the comments yet)-pm me and I'll try to dig in. Also, Precision Shooting has it's own magazine, if you didn't already know.

Lastly, have to bust your chops just a wee bit on the "fellas" part We chicas might know a thing or two!
(Seriously, I'm just kidding but it was too good to resist!)

LR308 is pretty good, my carbine does MOA @ 200 with cast. Use a Nikon high power ?x24 50 that is pretty good but not made anymore. Good steel mount is required. Don't have a place to try farther and too shakey to do that anyway. But save some money for primo ammo.

Yes, Id say the Army is pretty damn stupid to spend $10,800 per unit for that optic, no matter who makes it.

If you're a Vortex fan boy, good for you. Other than the Razor HD series, most of their cheaper series are known to have issues.
I prefer to buy optics that I don't have to worry about breaking or not tracking correctly.

The best warranty is the one that you never need to use!
