Greetings all ,
New year - new choices , new decisions
So - I need a good riflescope
but
WHAT to buy ?
The application .. bit of plains hunting - longest shot about 300m , bit of target and sport shooting out to about 400 / 500m
The Budget .. very little :(
So more on the entry / budget level - I am not averse to something previously used in VG condition
My homework ( what I think I should get - approximations )..
1.) Magnification = 3x - 15x
2.) 30mm tube
3.) 50mm objective
Solid build /good glass / good parallax etc etc - all the normal good stuff as default
I am not too worried about size or weight
Now to turrets - capped / exposed / tactical ?
Do you compensate and hold over or do you "dial" ?
I think I like exposed turrets and especially "zero-stop" = more for sport shooting ( gongs )
The brands / manufacturers (in the budget range ) - that seem to have good solid reputations ?
ARKEN
HAWKE
ELEMENT
LYNX
Who have I left out ? ( I am trying to stay mainstream for warranty and support )
Do they have any hidden "gotchas" / faults / drawback ?
Before I go visiting gunshops to look at what stock they have I would appreciate input by those that have experience in this area.
Thank you
