I personally want a luminated reticle that is a little more sophisticated than a duplex for precision holdovers, given the ballistics of the 6.5 Grendel.

I must have been tired, "an illuminated".

I was checking out the sightmark Wraith the other day. Surprisingly light compared to other night vision and thermal optics. 8 different reticles in green or red to choose from including a BDC. 4x32x50 I think.

Replacement Trigger for the Ruger American® Gen I Centerfire
Self-contained, 100% drop-in replacement trigger is ready to install in your Ruger American rifle for an exceptionally smooth, crisp, trigger pull.timneytriggers.com
My kinda prices! This is why I have always had an affection for Timney triggers. I get the quality of Giessele, but there ain’t no better triggers “for the prices then Timney.
Me, too - went for a Vortex red dot.
I really hope whatever coatings are minimal in terms of light transmission. Why I almost always prefer a low power scope with lighted reticle. I've gotta see in the dark. AA

I think combat veterans have earned a lifetime ‘tax exempt’ status, along with the widows of the fallen, but they don’t get that either.
It was just a job they paid me for. If they wouldn’t have paid me, I wouldn’t have done it.
Well even without a LEO discount, EuroOptics price for the Vortex is $850ish, so once you upgrade the other aspects of the Ruger, it will be more than the scope.

And Optics Planet is $20 cheaper if you're not after the discount.
I went ahead and Back Ordered the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 2-10x32 MOA version. No idea how long it will take to get here. No worries, worth it to get in on the sale price.
Sorry to hijack your thread @OkieStubble, but it will be interesting to see if the Vortex Viper PST is daylight visible as compared to the much higher priced Razor and the similarly priced (with Mil discount) Sheppard LVPO that I have used with my other builds. Different reticles by far, but it seems that some reviewers have used them for CQB / three gun type (competition) engagements.

The glass on top of my short,lightweight and handy Scout rifle, is a very important piece and accessory, so not a hijack at all.
Looks like it will be quite a while till I get the Viper PST that's BO'd.

I hate waiting on gun stuff. And I’mtalkin’, the Bamboo shiv’s under the fingernails kinda hate.
I have a compact Burris scope with a simple Duplex reticle already in a LaRue QD mount that I could use short term until the Viper PST comes in. So waiting on a scope won't prevent me from trying out the build once assembled. I have to wait a bit to order the Wilson barrel anyways.
Actually, I got shipping notification on the Viper PST 1-10x32 scope that CS said could be months away. I haven't even ordered my barrel yet!
And it came in, see Acquisitions thread!
