Recommendations for a 4-30x56 style scope

[Jefff1]

I love my 2 Tract scopes...4-20 and 4.5-30 models. Excellent optics and solid turrets. Communications and service are top notch. When I need my next scope it will be a Tract.

I really love my vortex razor gen2 but man it's heavy. Built like a tank, slightly heavier

I'm looking to get a new rifle scope for a 300 PRC build.
Important features for me are:
- FFP
- MRAD turrets
- illumination
- 56mm objective lens
I get different pricing because I'm in the military so that comes into play also. I prefer not to spend ATACR pricing if I can avoid it (also, it avoids opening a new level of bag of worms of Nightforce vs March vs Steiner etc). I was leaning towards the Athlon for a low end and Valdada for high end.

Athlon Cronus BTR G2 UHD for $1200
Tract Toric ELR for $1440
Delta Optical Stryker HD for $1700 (Waiting to hear if they have a mil discount)
Vortex Razer G2 for $1740 (EBR-7C) / $2040 (H59)
Leupold Mark 5HD for $2015 (ill TMR) / $2032 (ill Tremor 3)
Valdada Recon G2 for $2275
Leica PRB for $2429
Nightforce ATACR $2800-$3200

Athlon Cronus or the nightforce

Good Boi;
I have had several scopes thru my life so far and Atacr is a favorite,although ,the beast is next runner up then US Optics have had no trouble with any. Glass is exceptional and turrets the same a lot of guys forget turrets twisting back and forth and have never had any of the listed not return to zero or fail to move to the accuracy that I always insist on so good luck with your choice ,been there done that. Happy Shooting!

I have 2 of the Vortex 4.5X27X56 ERB-7c you have on the list mounted on a 6.5CM and a 308. Great low light performance and very clear glass. Turrets are excellent and track very well. Very easy to shoot up to 1000 yards. I think they are an excellent choice for the money.

What are your thoughts on the Meopta6 5-30x56 scope?

https://www.eurooptic.com/Meopta-Opt...pe-653608.aspx

My discount comes out to $590 for it. I read they are a good bang for buck for their spotting scope.

I currently have a Bushnell Elite Tactical XRS II 4.5-30x50 on my 6.5 CM. I'm not sure where that falls with all these scope but I could put that on my 300 PRC build and get a cheaper scope to put on my 6.5 CM. I'm also curious about the Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 Mil-XT for $1720.

Should I stick with the 56mm objective category?

@lancetkenyon

I would suggest a S&B PMII 3-27×56 High Power. But the OP would not like that price range.
Next would be the March FX 4.5-28×52. Again, pricey.

Or, their 5-40×56/5-45×56 counterparts.

Buy once, cry once.

SIII 8-32x56 LR Target Dot?

SIII 8-32x56 LR Target Dot?

They have several new ones out even with zero stop. My gunsmith checked my clicks to see how true they were. He found out that it tracked better than his nightforce.

Was $2k you military price on the MK5 ? I know they give a huge discount and if weight is a factor it is among the lightest in the group.
