I'm liking my Vortex on the SCAR. It's the right size, right magnification, and I won't be crying if I ding it up since it's not worth more than my car. If the recoil beats it up I'm hoping that the Vortex warranty that I hear so much about has me covered. With the Warne mount things are nice and simple but still enough "tacticool" to do the SCAR justice.

I'm actually thinking about buying a rifle to go with the optic for the Swarvorski. I've gone around and around about whether or not I should get a CZ UHR but it's always come down to what scope would I put on it. I didn't expect to get into any of the high end scopes any time soon and I'm still hunting in the brush and woods so an investment into long range shooting wasn't much of a priority. Most of that stuff I considered out of my league. But the stars may align and I think this is the perfect scope for that sort of rifle.

I also haven't ruled out just trading the Swarovski for something I would be willing to put on the SCAR. Its crossed my mind to get a Nightforce or USO and just swap out the Vortex from time to time. I would like to play with some of the cool reticles and illumination and stuff. But really I think the Vortex I already have will do just fine on there. There will also be another cool scope around so they won't be hard to come by. I doubt I'd bump into another Swarovski and not a top of the line one that I can afford. So I'm leaning towards something I can call the long range hunting set-up.
