I have a Bushnell Match Pro 6-24x50 non-IR on my Savage 110 Tactical that was a poor choice for my purposes (I didn't realize it was meant for rimfire). Nothing wrong with the scope, its just the wrong choice for 1000+yds.......I got blinded by $350
I have 2 main issues(and a somewhat minor issue):
1) the center dot is way too big
2) No Zero stop
3) It doesn't show revs of the elevation turret
I am looking at either the Midas or Helos line from Athlon with the following features:
FFP
MIL
Zero turrets
Zero stop
Locking turrets
Show revs
Adj parallax
30 or 34mm tube
anywhere in the 4-35x range
50 or 56mm
Christmas tree-ish reticle
Illuminated would be nice
GovX has good prices on them.
Im not spending $1000+ on this, if I do any competition it will be sporadic and I know my skills will be by far my biggest hinderance.
So the question is which do you recommend.
If not one of those, let me hear another option.
