My son talked me into trying the AR platform for hunting from my old reliable bolt gun. I have a nice 556 he built me so I could see his wisdom, so he built me a very sweet Bison Armory 6.8 which I needed a scope for. He has a Leupold VX-R on his 6.8 and I had looked carefully through and at it and was impressed.
I looked at all brands within my budget of $500.00-700.00 bucks for this gun and I also bought the VX-R 2-7 FireDot for simplicity of reticle brightness and adjustment as well as simplicity of the reticle it's self, meaning that other makers dot and or reticle had un-needed info, too large or complicated reticles for my hunting needs.
So basically I just wanted a high quality scope with clear glass, wide field of view, adjustable brightness and size illuminated crosshair dot with plenty of eye relief and guess what, This Leupold VX-R 2-7 was The Ticket.
You just can't beat Leupold for high quality, clear glass and their lifetime warranty and in my case for this gun project, high tech optic illumination simplicity not found elsewhere, I'm very happy with mine.
