huge selection high end optics for ar 15

[whatarush]

where in southern california (prefer near huntington beach) can someone go to look at huge selection of high end optics. Have vortex razor 1-6. Looking for something better. 63 years old

Lpvo sounds like the answer. I run a Leupold VX-6HD or a trijicon accupoint 1-4 depending on the rifle.

Not a HUGE selection, but a few that could fit what you're looking for. Kovert Projects in Irvine has some Nightforce NX8 models and also some Trijicon Accupoints:

What kind of budget are you thinking of? This will help in suggestions for optics to consider.

3000 or less. will be mounted on hk mr 556. drove out to sportmans warehouse, their inventory of high end scopes was very limited

Since you already have a Vortex Razor 1-6x, where do you find that optic lacking? That will help with the recommendations.

Your best bet is a match.

If you go to a PRS match you will find people with a ton of high end gear.

many will let you take a look and have very granular discussion on their current optics and the other optics discarded on the journey.


price - there are a few factors that go into price.
1) quality of glass. Chinese glass has really improved but Japan and Europe make better glass

2) the internals. How many times can you run a turret up and down before it wears out? Hunting scopes are zerod and then capped. Many times the turrets are never turned again.

Good long range scopes are designed to have the turrets turned a ton and still 1) stay tight 2) track accurately.




I have not found a shop that has many high end scopes.


if PRS optics are too much scope for your need, then look for a different shooting event where people tend to use optics closer to what you are considering.


At 300 yards, mirage is not a big deal.

looking at a target at 1k on a hot day can help you see what you are paying for....

stores are not going to let you head outside with 4 scopes to look at stop signs 500-1000 yards away.
