Optic choices - Dr. Myk - 09-01-2024
Good morning All, so I’m having CMMG making me the Resolute Mk4 AR with a 16.1” barrel. I need some guidance about choosing the right long range scope and rings to be able to go out between 500-1000 yards. I will also be hand loading specific rounds custom. I am weak on choosing the best scope for this set up. I need your experience with this please. Willing to spend up to 2k. Thank you for Your input.

Welcome to the forum.
Lots of experience here, so you will probably get a lot of ideas.
What scopes have you looked through?
A person's eyes are one of a kind, so one person's scope may not work for another's.
Still, for scopes up to ~$1K I can speak a bit, more expensive ones, not so much.
I went through several models but the vortex lines have been my winners, out to 1000 yds.
So I'd say look at the pst's, maybe 6-24X, there are some gen 1's but most are gen 2 or maybe 3 nowadays. If your budget wants to go over $1000 then look at the razor.
Stay at 30mm tubes or maybe 34 if you don't mind the weight. Not the 1".
I have several 6-24, gen 1's, a 3-15 gen 2 pst and even a venom 34mm.
