I am in need of assistance in selecting a scope in the 1-4x22 to 24 areas well as rings.
First up is the parameters for the rings:
1. Quick detach with ability to return to zero after being removed.
2. Ring height at the same as the pic below. ( This is the rifle it is gonna go on, and want to keep the same low profile as the optic pictured.)
M14S with Arms #18 SR mount.
Here is the parameters for the optic:
1. Under 300 bucks.
2. Reliable/waterproof/repeatable adjustments.
3. Illuminated reticle with ability to be able to use the reticle regardless of if the battery is on or not. ( 7.62 ballistic reticle preferred)
4. Looking at shooting distances between point blank out to 700 meters.
5. Applications are target shooting and hog hunting in low light conditions, and any weather.
Here is 2 that I'm looking at.

Anyone have one, and how do you like it? Can anyone tell me if the reticles can be utilized regardless of if the battery is on or not?
I also have another project in mind, using an Ultimak M8 handgaurd rail mounted on an LRB M14SA, and want a red dot type that will co-witness with the iron sights.
An aimpoint with low ring is out of the financial picture, so looking at a Vortex instead. .... ( The SPARC is the one I would really like for this app.)

Any opinions on these..?
While I'm a thinking about it, I am also interested in using a vortex 2-7 Viper in combination with an M1A-A1 and Bassett mount. Anyone have one of these?
Thats all I can think of right now. Any help/1st hand knowledge/etc, would be appreciated.
