Mid level LVPO

[dontpanic]

I need some advice on my next LVPO scope. It will be going on my new Colt EPR. (Pre 2013 Colt lower with a Colt EPR upper with a Centurian Rail) My first new AR in years, I was saving that lower for something special.

I have narrowed my list to the following scopes. Included is the best price I have found(most are displays) $1500 is my top price. Lower is better.

I have access to a 300yd range. I am a member at a 200yd range and will seldom if ever shoot beyond that.

Vortex Razor 1-6 JM reticle. $1050
Eotech Vudu 1-10. $1400
Trijicon Credo 1-8. $1350
Nightforce NX-8. $1500

I have looked through all of them except the Nightforce. From pictures I think the reticle is busy. I really like the simple reticle on the Razor and it is gorgeous at 1x.

Any advice appreciated. Any other options in this range?

Thanks

Let's go down the list:
1. Vortex Razor Gen2: classic, works great, will hold you to at least 400yds depending on target size. Buy the E version if you can swing it, it's lighter.
2. Vudu 1-10: good scope, not daylight bright, but less necessary than the Razor Gen3. If shooting at 500-600 is a concern, this may be worth a look.
3. Trijicon Credo 1-8: good scope, brightness is lacking. Does give you the ability to dial if you're into that.
4. Nightforce NX-8: good scope, but eyebox is garbage. Don't bother.
5. Sig Tango6 1-6: good scope, daylight bright if SFP ("Hellfire"). Reticle choices are underwhelming, glass is not quite as good as the Razor. Hellfire 3gun version might be worth it at $800 or so.
6. Delta Stryker HD 1-6: good scope, generally considered a budget alternative to the Razor. Reticle isn't my favorite, but is daylight bright.

Based on your needs, if you can swing a Razor Gen2E, buy a Razor Gen2E. Really, if you are shooting at 200 most of the time, I'd question even needing an LPVO at all unless your targets are tiny.

Sig has Tango6t 1-6 DVO military contract blem's for 1199, I don't think there is a better LPVO in that price range.

Thanks Gentleman. Glad I didn't put down the money on the NX8. Now it's between the Razor and The Tango 6t.

So after careful consideration. As always, I blew my scope money on a shiny new rifle instead of optics.

Now I have another rifle to buy a scope for. Ugh.

Still I ended up with a 2021 limited edition CZ 457 MTR Trainer. I couldn't pass it up.

And yes, that is a sweet rifle and totally worth it.

Thanks. I think so
I did end up scoping this one with a Vortex Venom. At least until I figure out something else.
