Personally, I like the 1-6 more since it's clearer at 1X.

But the 1-10 has been a very good optic on the SCAR 17, if you're planning to run it on something like that.

Take a look at Tract Optics. Not too many people know of them but make excellent scopes. They sell direct and more value for the money. They have a great 1x8 LVPO for about 1200.00

1-10x will have a tighter eyebox. Check out the other razor HD models if you can.

1-6 FTW. Ive owned both and I sold my 1-10. The 1-6 is more like a magnified red dot so it does both roles well as the eye relief is flexible. The 1-10 is more like a traditional scope as the eye relief is much more restrictive.

IMHO the 1-10 FFP trumps the 1-6 SFP due to the ranging reticle being correct regardless of power setting. Yes you'll more then likely be on max or 1X but if foe some reason it's will affect your desired results. The eye box is tighter on the 10X, but IMHO is a good thing due most LPVOs do not have a parallax adjustment. You can use the edges of the scope's shadow to give you a good indication if you are properly lined up with your target at distance. The EBR9 MOA is a great Christmas tree style reticle, with wind, and is extremely fast at making hits out to distance. IMHO I'd rather have a tighter eye box with the extra 4X over the 1-6 especially for stretching out to the maximum range of the 5.56 on smaller targets then being limited to 6X. If you want a more forgiving eyebox simply dial down the magnification to 6-8X. The other LPVO I'd consider would be the Kahles 1-8. All the others don't have the glass quality, forgiving eyebox at lower magnification, and an Aimpoint bright dot like the Razor or Kahles which IMHO is needed for quick shots at close distances.

I just put a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x on my son's AR for him to use in next month's BARC match. He likes it, but it is the horseshoe reticle instead of the crosshairs.

BTW, ActiveJunky.com has 10% back right now if you buy from Cabelas/Bass Pro. That will save me $50 on the Strike Eagle.

I have some Vudu 1-10s listed if you want to save some coin.

Great point. It’s funny, I currently have an Accupoint 1-4 on the 223 and the shadows do absolutely help me dial in the positioning. Of course it’s not preferred, but it’s funny how when you get used to something it really doesn’t bother you.

They do make a Trijicon Credo 1-6 with ffp. That’s about the same price as a Gen 2 E. Have you had any experience woth that?

I love my 1-4 Accupoint but also I’ve never looked through anything else. I think the 1-4 is rad, I can’t wait to upgrade to something really special. Just having such a tough time deciding.

I did look through a Credo and the glass is nice and the illumination definitely better then their previous models. The biggest downside to the Credo 1-8 is the tunneling affect around the image, something that is not present on the Razors LPVOs. If you're considering the Credo 1-8 make sure to also look at the Razor Gen 2 1-6 before making a decision. Either of them would be a great option for a very durable 24/7 rig.
