Outfitting Les Baer's

[Aiden]

Looking for recommendations for a pair of Les Baer's for target shooting in .223 and .308. Both have 24" barrels and not really concerned about the weight. Thinking of either Leupold 6.5-20x50 or Vortex PST 6-24x50, but open to suggestions. NF is getting a little pricey.

With respect to mounts, I've read good and bad about the Burris PEPR, so I'm not sure if there were quality control issues on the early quick connect or are they all questionable?

Not going into battle with these things (hopefully) and not going hunting, so the weight is not my major concern. Good, reliable scope is what I'm more concerned with from a reputable company with a no BS warranty.

Vortex and SWFA are my two go-to brands... the PST is good, I got a lot of mileage out of mine but you might want to consider something with more internal elevation than the 6-24x50 depending on what type of shooting you like.

The Razor is that much better if you can push the buck. The SWFA HD 5-20 and Razor Gen 1 are on about level playing fields regarding glass but the controls and build of the Razor is much more refined.

The SWFA HD scopes offer really good glass for the cash, and excellent tracking, which is even more important, but they do have some cons like stiff parallax and zoom controls. Turrets are great.

Bushnell also makes a few scopes which are really nice, but I don't have much first hand experience with them.

The Burris PERP is fine, I have the QD models but they don't QD that well. I just leave them in place. There are others to consider, depending on what you want. If QD is important, look for something else.
