Every day the more I see them, I really want to get the MRO....

Actually, scratch that. I just ordered the MRO  we'll see how I like it in comparison to the EOTech.

I was going to but it was another $170 and I figured I already pissed enough away on a wall hanger. Im building a Cobalt Kinetics rifle now and Im gonna have the scope mount cerakoted but not the scope. Think I'm going with a Vortex Strike Eagle

Please don't take offense to this, but if I'm gonna go all in then I wouldn't cheap out on the last thing.  Buy an EOtech or Aimpoint and coate them as well.  The Asian optic kinda ruins the lines.  

[gimmemym1 34]

I'm always open to opinions. I don't want a red dot. Talk me into a good scope that resembles the strike eagle. At least an 8x scope

Who cares about the lines if the rifle functions as he wants it to? This is the thing I hate about the gun culture, there’s always a voice telling you that your gun can look cooler.

I'd like to stay around 500ish

8x in that price range is difficult.  Maybe a Leupold 3x9 base model might fit the bill.

"Here is a rare thing in the 1-8 scope world: an affordable one. While the market is well served by premium high end 1-8’s, there aren’t all that many that only cost a couple hundred bucks. Fortunately, Visionking brings one to the shooting market with this modestly priced and functional scope.

With the usual features you’d expect from a scope like multi-coated optics, water and fog proof construction, and even a red illuminated center reticle, this is a pretty rock solid scope for the money. While it claims to be a first focal plane scope, I’d take that with a bit of a grain of salt. However, these imported scopes can be very solid, and I have more inexpensive Chinese scopes on my rifles than I’d normally care to admit. If you need a basic 1-8 without spending the price of a used car, this is your scope."

My low end, longish-range AR build.

Magpul PRS and MOE grip, Spikes NJGF lower, Daytona Tactical 20" AR upper, NCStar 3-9X Mark III scope.

Unfired as of yet.

 

[Ray Ray 3,566]

@JohnnyB, great scope.  I gots one.

[JohnnyB 4,326]

Now that I know someone who actually has one, I will order one for myself! Thanks Ray!

Curious to hear why you don’t want a RDS?

The Strike Eagle 1-6 is an excellent value.

I know it’s not 1-8 but the Steiner 1-4 is amazing for the money at around $500.

You are going to pay for a quality 1-8.

Steiner 1x4 is a winner, as is the Primary Arms 1x8.

You can get a Leupold 2-9x for as low as $195 on sites like midwayusa & Optics Planet.

Strike eagle is a great optic for the money. I have one on my SCAR.

You get so much for your money with the Primary Arms products, I can't recommend them enough for someone on a budget.

Thats a sweet setup on the spotting scope. Where did you get that phone mount?

For $8 I figure I'd try it. It works, but you have to have patience with it to get it all to line up. Best part is you can use the zoom on your phone to see even farther.
