.223/5.56 18" free float 1:8 twist, geared towards target shooting / plinking mostly. I'd say max 600 yds, because it's the max on the range I belong to.
I started thinking 1-4 would be enough and had my eyes set on a Mark R mod 1 firedot but now I'm not so sure anymore. I usually find myself dialing my 4-12 VX 2 all the way up to 12 when shooting 300 yds or longer.
What about 1st/2nd focal plane? I like the idea of easy distance calculation with mil-dots. But am also concerned the cross-hair would completely cover smaller targets with 1st focal plane scope.
I'd be ok spending $500+some and might fork out an extra $ for something made locally in the US.
Any advice welcome
