    I have an AR-10 with 18" barrel. Looking for a scope to fit that configuration. What size scope (3-9x, 4-12x etc...) would be good for a .308 round out to at least 750yds??

    Was considering a Vortex 4-12x50 but not sure if that is a good fit.

    Thanks in advance,

    On a budget, this one is tough to beat.
    .
    This won't break the bank and will easily cover 750yds. (Quite a few of us run this scope on our distance rifles)

    As the owner of two Arken scopes, that's what I'd get - either the newest version of the SH4 (which supposedly now boasts the same Japanese glass as the EP5) or the EP5.

    Basic Specs:

    SH4 - 6-24x50, 34 mm tube
    EP5 - 5-25x56, 34 mm tube

    Either would work well on an AR10.
