Recommendations for a 4-30x56 style scope

[Raven'sWolf]

I'm looking to get a new rifle scope for a 300 PRC build.

Important features for me are:
- FFP
- MRAD turrets
- illumination of some type (center dot or more)
- 56mm objective lens
I get different pricing because I'm in the military so that comes into play also. I prefer not to spend ATACR pricing if I can avoid it (also, it avoids opening a new level of bag of worms of Nightforce vs March vs Steiner etc). I was leaning towards the Athlon for a low end and Valdada for high end.

Athlon Cronus BTR G2 UHD for $1200
Tract Toric ELR for $1440
Delta Optical Stryker HD for $1700 (Waiting to hear if they have a mil discount)
Vortex Razer G2 for $1740 (EBR-7C) / $2040 (H59)
Leupold Mark 5HD for $2015 (ill TMR) / $2032 (ill Tremor 3)
Valdada Recon G2 for $2275
Leica PRB for $2429 (added after poll started so msg below if you support)
Nightforce ATACR $2800-$3200

bushnell Elite is a damn fine scope too

They are all over the PRS Scene

I shot a friends 6.5 CM with this glass - it's a nice piece of glass

27-30 power gets strange... so I would call this a 4.5 x 25 or a 4.5 x 27

ELITE TACTICAL XRS II 4.5-30X50 RIFLESCOPE BLACK


This is it. This is the scope that's been to the podium at the King of 2 Miles and countless precision rifle matches. The one that's used by top shooters across the world to make shots count. This is confidence.

Thanks for the input hermosabeach. I actually have this scope on my Tikka 6.5 CM and it sits low using my Spuhr direct mount. I could transfer it over to my Bighorn TL3 build but then its objective lens would likely sit pretty high above the barrel.

Not sure I follow... different set ups require different ring height...

The nightforce you mention is above 56 objective lens... I think

Hehe, yep. Started with a Bushnell Elite, two years later…..got crazy.

That said Vortex cannot go wrong.

Vortex,steiner, nightforce got some good options. Maybe us optics? Could break the bank and go with S&B too

What are your thoughts on the Meopta6 5-30x56 scope?

My discount comes out to $590 for it. I read they are a good bang for buck for their spotting scope.

I currently have a Bushnell Elite Tactical XRS II 4.5-30x50 on my 6.5 CM. I'm not sure where that falls with all these scope but I could put that on my 300 PRC build and get a cheaper scope to put on my 6.5 CM. I'm also curious about the Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 Mil-XT for $1720.

Should I stick with the 56mm objective category?

by most accounts i have read on the snipershide, the 5hd outperforms the nx8.
full disclosure though, i own a 3.6-18 5hd, so i am always looking for confirmation bias.

bushnell is coming out with new elite tactical scopes, if you can wait.
