Glass suggestions on a budget

[6BRshooter]

I think you will like the vortex. Anymore the only leupold that is worth the money,IMHO, is the VX-3 LRs. The mark4, which I have one that I picked up 7 yrs ago for 900ish new, are way over priced now and in NF territory. The lower grades of loopy's like the vx-2 ans vx-1, while carrying a good warranty, they are really subpar when compared to other scopes in their price range like the straight vortex viper, nikon buckmaster(not a monarch fan), and 4200elite bushnell. I have used several different AR specific mounts and do like the price, quality of the PEPR. I have not had a ssalt mount , but can attest to the quality of a Larue,ADM, and GG&G mounts. Recently I have been putting sightron S3 8-32x56 LR on my match rifles, while not NF tough they survived a few hunts and several matches and track perfect with one of the best Paralax systems going.
