    I have a Leupold VXR 1.25-4×20 for sale. Has SPR reticle and Firedot. Great versatile scope from 0-400m...

    I have a IOR 2-12 x 32 on mine. Mind blowing optics, great magnification range, and the illuminated MP-8 reticle is just about right. If there is a downside, it would be that it's not a lightweight scope.

    12 x magnification is going to be plenty for 400M. Here's a pic out at 1200M of some deer on the farm behind our place.

    You will have to excuse the reflections off the scope. I was taking a photo with my phone.

    Its an IOR 2-12 x 32. 35mm main tube so plenty of elevation and windage adjustment.

    Eye relief - 3.5"

    I managed to get this on the AR without requiring a cantilevered scope base.

    As others have said all depends on what your gonna do with it really... If you had a smaller carbine set up I'd say go lightweight but from what you've said it doesn't sound like weights gonna bother you.

    MK AR 1.5-4 is nine ounces

    All up she weighs just over 5 lb

    5LB with a suppressor? That's pretty impressive. What scope and rings are you using? I'm currently 'weighing up' my options for a light upper in 223/300blk

    I've got a Leupy VXR 4-12 F-dot 4 on my RR. Heavy reticle but love the adjustable dot brightness. Excellent for blatting a few goat with the quick reference dot and still good for laying down for a few LR shots. Looking at also putting on a Bushnell First Strike or something like that for when their beady eyes are too close for the VXR.
