I'm not opposed to spending more money but the Mark AR seems to match the specifiations I'm looking for my AR 15 6.5 Grendel.
I am quite happy with my Mark AR, it has served me well. My shooting doesn't go past 3-400 yds, even then its usually just on paper. I would look in the ballistics of the 6.5 compared to .223. My Mark AR BDC is calibrated for 55g/.223. My plinking round is 62g M855. The BDC changes if I start shooting heavier bullets like some 69g SMK. Might want to talk to Leupold custom shop. They can build you a Mark AR set up for the 6.5 and the weight bullet you will be shooting.
