I have 1-4x and 1-6x on 300blk and 5.56. 2-10x on a 16” 6.5grendel and a 4-16x ffp on a 22” Grendel. I prefer an option with a true 1x on anything I tote where fast moving shots are probable.

I put a Meopta Meosport R on my wife's. Works real well. Both the rings and scope are marked to line up to each other. So, you don't have to try to get it level. It sets up that way. They're good quality rings and the correct height for an AR.

My 6.5 grendel has the same Vortex Viper. I may swap the 2 vipers since the latest one I got on sale and it has a BDC reticle which might be a better option for the 6.5 grendel. I have found as I have gotten older, I like more top end magnification when hunting in the evening. In the AM its not as big a deal. Be sure to use a good cantilever mount, and get the scope positioned correctly.

I’m undecided on my bolt AR 6.8 I’m building….likely a Zeiss in either a 3-9 or 1.8-5.5. Likely the 3-9. It’ll be more of a stand hunting rig. Scope them life your hunting purpose/need, just like you would any bolt, lever, or other semi.
