What scope are you folks using on your AR 10's? I am thinking about a 10 or 12 power with a 308 dial.
Scope for AR 10?

What are you using your AR308 for?
I have a 24" AR308 upper with an SWFA 10x42 Quad MOA side focus scope mounted on it for long range shooting.
I have another AR308 upper with an 18" Wilson Combat lightweight barrel and an SWFA Ultralight 2.5-10x32 MOA scope on it for hunting.

I don’t have an AR10 but I did have an M1A and ran several different scopes. The recoil impulse screwed up a couple of them but my Leupold 4.5-14x50 LRT was rock solid.
It sits atop my 5.56 AR now

Im running a Nightforce SHV 4-14X in a Burris PEPR mount on my POF. Great scope out to 600 YD. A bit heavy, though, to be sure.

Depends on your budget and whether you are concerned about weight

Primary Arms 4-12x on a PA10, since it's a heavy, range toy anyways
Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 on a 16" SFAR, like an LPVO very much but the Vortex will be replaced as it hasn't been reliable.

I am currently running this cantilever mount, and I'm having trouble holding POI. Some forums have told me to avoid this kind of mount, I may switch to regular rings to see if that fixes the problem.

0 issues with mine on the AR10 or my AR15. Both required minimal lapping and lined up perfect with the Wheeler alignment bars.

Looks like the Monstrum mount I got on Amazon for my daughter's gun. It loosened up after only a couple hundred rounds and the bolts stripped out when I tried to tighten it. Junk, IMO.
Replaced it with another Burris PEPR cantilever, no more problems. Love that mount.

Nice thing about AR-10s is that there's frequently enough upper receiver rail space to not require cantilevered scope mounts.

The Monstrum is probably a cheap knockoff of the Vortex. Nice design, poor materials.
Unless you're running flip up BUIS.

And mine IS the Vortex. I'm not SURE it's the problem, but I think it's a easy way to make sure.

I've actually had pretty good luck with the Monstrum mounts, I have seen a lot of reviews about stripped threads though. I switched most of the Monstrum mounts out for Aero mounts now and only have a couple Monstrums left and don't move them around.The Monstrum is probably a cheap knockoff of the Vortex. Nice design, poor materials.
I might eventually switch my mounts for Midwest Industries AD mounts, if only so I am guarenteed its retained zero and I can get another optic to run. Part of me wishes I got a scope with a 30mm tube, rather than the 1" and did a bit more homework on the scope I chose.
