M14 dmr scope decision

[Bakersfield7.62]

So this is the situation I have ordered a norinco m14 shorty and I'm panning on building on it to make a kinda dual perpose dmr rifle that could be used for close range no closer than 15 m and also midrange target shooting say 500m I want to scope it with a viper pst but I'm not sure if I want the 1-4x scope or the 2.5-10x viper pst ... The other options I thought about are a bushnell elite 10x fixed power on qd mounts and also have a red dot strike fire and change them out ... My gole is kinda 3 gun style although no plans for competition what do you think I should put on my m14?

Maybe the Vortex 2.5 X 10 in 50mm Good price and works well, not too heavy and quite bright for the price. Use it all the time as my eyes are not as they were when I was 30 years old. No more open sights for me :-(
They also have a red dot for low light conditions so you can get it in the kill zone in those conditions, not always easy with other type scopes. I use mine just for hunting although at the range it is also good for the near sighted people Got my M305 Norc making 2'' groups at 100 yards and in the Bulls eye with it. I was pleasently impressed.
Just make sure you get good quality low to medium rings for it and a cheek rest may be required. Enjoy!

The Elcan Specter DR 1.5-6 is pretty much the cream of the crop as far as optics that fit your needs does.

The optic may be $2,500 but I think it would be worth it. Sell one of your old guns and save up. If you have patients, the EE will provide. Though I saw one the other day for a very good price.


Also, they're made in Canada and used by all kinds of militaries, including some US special forces I believe.
