3-gun scope recommendation

[FluorideInMyWater]

Hi guys.
i've watched 50 videos on different scopes that are 1-8x24

top 4 are
1- primary arms strike eagle acss SFP (preferred)
2- atibal xp8 SFP
3- vortex strike eagle 1-8x24 gen2 riflescope w/ ar-bdc3 reticle (preferred)
4- Bushnell 1-8x24 AR Optics Ill BTR-2,

so, i prefer the BDC reticles, primarily the Primary arms (#1) and the Vortex Strike Eagle (#3) the primary arms seems a bit tighter on the reticle, but i'm going on pictures are videos. not actually seeing in person.

anyone have experienc/comments on these? they are all in the same price range. the next level is over $1k and i can't afford that right now. so unless someone knows of a scope that is "inbetween" these 2 groups, please let me know.

I also need a recommendation for a good mount that will hold the scope and not need readjustment all the time. i guess they are $100+ for a decent one, which is find. just need a recommendation.

Thanks in advance, friends!
John

Have you looked at the Vortex PST II 1-6? It's like 80% of the Vortex Razor 1-6x at a much smaller price.

$600. not bad. i know this might be superficial but i like the BDC2 or 3 reticles. this one just seems to be lacking, but i speak from absolute NON-EXPERIECE! LOL

Go with the strike eagle. Great scope,

Go with the strike eagle. Great scope,

better than the primary-arms? or similar. i've read/heard that all of them are a bit foggy around the edges at 8x.

how is the eye-relief on the strike eagle?

Interested in a leupold vx6 1x6 multi gun reticle scope ? I have one I can let go.

Eye relief isn't that big a deal on a 3-gun rifle, but the eyebox is "unforgiving" at 8x.

Did you look at the Burris?

i think i was looking at 8x instead of 6x just for the extra ummph, just in case scenarios. probably going to be going 6x most of the time. how is the eyebox at 6x?

Yuge in the Burris.

yes, i was looking at them but didn't see this 1-6x..
it says it's a rear focal plane. is that the same as second or something differnt? EDIT. oh another site says it is SFP. but it does say it's a tru 1x, which i guess from all the videos i watched, most are not tru 1x....

Here you go.

Have you shot a 3 Gun match? Have you been to one? If so, you would know 90% of your shots are less than 100 yards. On a few stages we will shoot out to 300 yards. I shot an Eotech with no magnification and did well, because I killed it on the close in stages. 1x6 is plenty.
