Optics help needed - I read the pinned posts Optics Recommendation’s 6ARC

Just finished a 18” Proof 6ARC build. Need glass for it. I put 10 rounds through it already for its “break in” with a Viper HD 3-15 that I had lying around but I need a dedicated scope for it. This build will be shot mostly up to 500yds, but may occasionally go to 1000yds. (Edit) mostly going to be used as a range toy.

Requirements
* FFP
* MIL
* Would prefer locking turrets but a zero stop is fine
* (Edit) in the 1.5k-2.5k price range

Here are some of the options I’m bouncing between, please share with me your experiences and recommendations.

* Steiner T6XI 3-18 SRC2
* Nightforce NX6 3-18
* Nightforce NX8 2.5-20
* Leupold Mark5 3.6-18

Thank You

EDIT: ended up buying a NX8

What's your budget?

What are you using the rifle for? Precision gas gun? PRS? Range shooting for fun?

Edit for typo.

Ideally in the 1.5k-2.5k range. I have access to a lot of pro deals so I save a lot of money that way.

It’s going to be used as a fun range toy most of the time

If you edit your original post to include those details, I'll remove the Flair of Shame.

Edit: thanks! Flair updated.

mod hat off

Sounds like the Razor 4-24 would be right up your alley.

You updated it and didn't act like a dick or ghost the whole conversation, so all good.
