Very nice!
Someone with a username "bigunit" shouldn't be asking about 9mm...specially when talk/asking about it for a 1911 platform...Just Saying....lol jkAnyone have a Nighthawk 9mm 1911? Thinking of getting one. I hear that the reliability of these is the best and worth the price. Any feedback would be appreciated.

With scopes I strongly suggest you get one of the known and proven brand names. At the top are Zeiss/Hendsoldt, Kahles, Schmidt & Bender, US Optics, Steiner. Next step down is IOR Valada, Nightforce, Vortex, Bushnell, etc.
Must have features:
34 mm tube. Allows for much more elevation adjustment for longer distances. Allows more light transmission. Smaller 30mm or 1" tubes have very little adjustment and are inferior in low light situations.
Mil reticle with 0.5, 0.2 or 0.1 Mil stadia lines on first focal plane. Second focal plane sounds good on paper but ads and additional calculation every time you change the magnification. It's a nightmare to deal with if you have to shoot fast.
0.1 Mil adjustments (1cm @ 100m) on elevation and windage knobs. Saves having to calculate anything when you miss. If you miss by .5 Mils you adjust .5 Mils to get back on target. With MOA you have to calculate the difference between Mils and MOA.
Rule of thumb for magnification is you need x1 per every 100 yards. Since a 308 is generally effective under 1000 yards you really don't need anything passed x12. As I explained before I have engaged human size targets out to 1200 meters with a x8.5 mag scope with no problem.
If you can't afford an expensive scope from the get go get a fixed x10 scope from SWFA and then save for one of the good ones. The fact that the scope is fixed power it saves a lot of the manufacturing nightmares of the variable scopes. X10 is a good compromise for just about anything.

By the way, the guy at the store I purchase my rifle from, advise me to get the Leopold mark 6 1-6x20mm (34mm) m6c1
he said that since my MR762 it has a 16.5 inch barrel and it is a semi-auto rifle and with a .308 round i should be happy by being able to engage target at a maximum of 800 yards. Keeping in mind that that's the .308 max effect range rating. That would be not including that my barrel would be shorter 4 inch thus making engaging target any further harder and not too realistic. He told me that for anything farther than 800 yards I'd need something more like a Remington 700 bolt action with a 20 inch barrel. Which I think makes more sense. Anyways what's your take on that recon.
The scope comes with 2 optional reticles
Once again I like the TMR reticles
But he said if it was up to him he would recommend the CMR reticles since ip everything it is pretty much lay out for you.

No way my DPMS LRT SASS was good to go at 1000. 308 won't be a power house at that range but you'll hit. In general never trust cali gun shops on guns that said there are always exceptions.
