I’ve been considering what scope would work well for my longer range AR which is built based on a WOA varmint upper. I’ve never had the money for really high end scopes so have never been able to play with different options to see what works best.
My question is based on heavy bullets and 12” steel at distances of 600 yds plus. What is the minimal magnification you would want, after you had learned the scope, to shoot at those distances using quality glass.
The first scopes that come to mind are the Trijicon Credo 1x8, Nightforce NXS 1x8 and the Nightforce 2x10 scopes. Would these be realistic for the average shooter with average eyesight or would you opt for more? If opting for more, what experience has driven you to you position?
