I have a fairly strict budget of up to $700. It sucks to be indecisive and on a budget... I get hung up looking for a unicorn.
I am looking for a scope. I have very little experience long range shooting/hunting but I do intend to get proficient at it. I am shooting a 6.5 PRC and would love to use it to it's potential! Main use would be Western and Alaska hunting.
My only real experience is with low end Nikon Prostaff BDC 3x9 and 2.5x12 (neither on the 6.5). They have both been effective at killing animals. and shows my standards are quite low.
I like the magnification range of 2.5x15 and if I keep my searching to that option I can find some deals, as soon as I open it up to 3x18, the options are too many and overwhelming.
I think I have narrowed it down: I'd like to go with MOA and FFP (mostly because the wisdom on here leans more toward FFP) but could be convinced otherwise.
In no particular order:
Athlon Ares BTR
Trijicon Credo (SFP)
Bushnell forge
Meopta Optika 6 (SFP)
Hawke sport Optics Frontier 30 (SFP)
Any other ideas or any stand out way above the others?
How would you rate the ones I have listed?
