I’ll take Burris over Vortex any day. Bingo. A lot of guys love Vortex, but I've seen too many problems with them. If the OP wants an "AR specific" scope, maybe he should consider a Burris AR specific scope. AR556, AR762 and the like are very good rifle scopes. Even the Burris MSR (Modern Sporting Rifle) isn't too bad, but not nearly as good as the AR556 4.5-14x42. Then there is primary arms that seem to be popular for AR rifles as well. A lot of good choices out there. I put a Fullfield TAC30 1-4x24 on my sons AR around eight years ago. It’s given good service.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

The Razors are very good. Everything else Vortex isn’t worth the hassle of using their great warranty, and you will.
The Steiners were a steal at $450ish, aren’t a bad deal at around $600ish. Paying $800 for one is crazy.
If you don’t need illumination I’d go Huron / Ascent for $400ish. I think the same with illumination in the Credo is $650ish for a 1-4.
The Illuminated Credo 1-6 is a great deal at $800. I’d get the dot / bdc reticle.
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

Agreed on the Huron/Ascent line from Trigicon. I have them both. The Huron on a Ruger MPR and the Ascent on a 6920. I've been impressed by both of them.

Isn't the eye relief a little on the short side for the Trijicons?
I looked at one at LGS yesterday and it seemed so.

My guess is that 2 of the aforementioned scopes (as in the mentioned Huron/Ascent lines) would be plural, and possibly even spelled Trijicons?

If you are going the low power variable optic route, take a look at the Primary Arms 1-8 ACSS. They have 5.56 BDC and ranging built in to the reticles. They have them in SFP, FFP and Platinum version made in Japan with a 34 mm tube. I have several of the 1-8 SFPs on mine and like them a lot. Their reticles are very well designed. I bought the Primary Arms 4x14x44mm ACSS HUD for my 308AR. Dang cool scope for the money and I can range anything out to 600 yards.

Primary Arms gives lot of value since there is no middle man.

Really need to know your uses for the gun, desired magnification, and price range.
If price is no object, a vortex razor is the way to go. The Steiner costs the same now and you get more from the vortex.
The swfa is nice but heavy as all hell.
Avoid vortex strike eagle like the plague, but a primary arms 1-6 or 1-8 is a good deal for a budget scope.
I currently run a Burris rt6 1-6 on a 20" ar for 3 gun comps and love it.

You need to define what you intend to use the gun for as well as the budget.
