It'll be a few months before my stamp is back but I'm looking for a scope for a 10.5" 7mm08 AR. I think I'm set on the Leupold VX-R Patrol 3-9x with the Ballistic Firedot reticle. Another contender would be Bushnell Elite 1-6.5x24. Gonna use it on deer and hogs out to 300ish yards. Open to other ideas, want something fairly compact, illuminated reticle SFP under $800.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Since it is gonna be an SBR I would go with a 1-4 or 1-6 just bc they are lighter and more compact.

Super happy with my SS 1-6X, Mil/Mil FFP. I've ran it out to 400 yards with no problem. Works great at up close and personal, as well.

I went with a SWFA 1-4 got it out to 500 easily. 1-6 would have been nice for a little further range but I feel confident I could kill a hog out to 500 and that why I built it. My upgrade to the 1-6 at some point.

I have the SWFA 1-4x24 and it's works well but I wish I would have gotten something a little less clunky looking.

To each his own. I'm more about performance than aesthetics.

For your needs the Leupold should be just about perfect. Do it!

The VX-R comes in a 2-7x32. It will get you out to 300 yards on a hog. Being smaller than the 3-9 I like the way an AR handles much better with a 2-7 than a 3-9. Don't own one but feel it would be even more so with an SBR.
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

Don't own one but feel it would be even more so with an SBR. I have the VX-R in 2-7 and 3-9....both on SBR rigs and they are fairly small and light. I really like those scopes and Natchez occasionally has them for $100 off.
