Okay, I get what your saying. Basically, the ultra high magnifications that we're starting to see on these units is "fluff" mostly?
Optics for service rifle?
- Thread starter Canadian eh!
- Start date

It's not a matter of the optic being "fluffy". No optic can see clearly through mirage, that's physics, you can't change it. The mirage is always there, the higher magnification just lets you see it more clearly. It's kind of like having a low resolution image like a thumbnail. It looks good at its normal size, but when you zoom it, the pixels become more prominent and the image actually looks worse than it did un-zoomed.
The high end of the magnification isn't going to help you in SR, by the low end 3x is useful for position and close range stuff.

Nobody has them in stock. I'd wait for the Shot Show anyway.
March has announced their 1-8x24mm FFP:

Leupold just released the Mark AR Mod 1 scoped with 0.1mil turrets also.
http://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/scopes/mark-ar-riflescopes/
There is a 3-9x40mm and a 1.5-4x25mm in that family. New reticles on them too.
Rumor is that the Mark 4 MR/T Riflescopes will be released in mil/mil FFP. Wouldn't be surprised if Nightforce did the same with their 2.5-10x32.

Nice. Glad vortex came out with an ffp 2.5-10. Unless nightforce does the same that's probably how I'll go. Now how about mounts? I see you guys like the spuhr. Looks good but man it's pricey! What else is out there in the offset world?
I use Vortex 3" offset mounts (3" is more versatile than 2"). Have both the QD and non-QD. Kind of like the non-QD better since nothing sticks out to snag on anything and cost is half the QD price ( ~$100).
Wouldn't hold my breath on Nightforce. Looks like their only new FFP scope is the BEAST.

With my gratuity coming in sometime (late?) this year, I have a chunk of it earmarked for a 1-6 or 1-8. I want to wait to see if we will be able to get our hands on the S&B 1-8.
I kinda kick myself for not jumping on a 1-4 Wolverine was selling new for $2000 just before christmas...

Couple of new scopes to mention that I found at Shot Show 2013 (reports on them in the Shot Show forum) :
1) Bushnell AR Optics 1-4x 24mm Throw Down PCL:
http://www.bushnell.com/tactical/rifle-scopes/ar-optics/1-4x-24mm-throw-down-pcl#
It's a budget FFP optic. The turrets were in 0.1 mil clicks at the show, but the website shows them in 1/4 MOA.
2) Sightron has upgraded their 1-7x24mm
(Doesn't appear to be on their site yet).
There are some reports on other scope too, but they've already been listed in this thread.

The upgraded Mark AR 1.5-4x24mm Mod 1:
I got to try this scope put on media day. It's a nice little optic for the price. The pitfall with it is that there is nothing to indicate which turn the turret is on, so it's relatively easy to lose track of your zero if you aren't careful.
The 3-9x
