Guys, I think I have researched every optic known to man and am more undecided then when I started.
I have a SWFA 10x42 SS now and have shot to 500 yards. However whether its my eyes or the limit of the scope I don't feel that I can actually aim at a single point on the target ( kind of hope its in the center). My thought was a 6x24x50 until I looked through a few at the range last time out
The first was a Vortex crossfire the low end, and the other was the new Nikon black. At 500 yards my SWFA was more clear then both, not only to me but to the owners of the other scopes also. So now what? Am I expecting to see the target closer than is possible? I need some zoom.
I am on a quest to shoot to 1000 yards ( just because ) I will be shooting from a bench or prone at a private range, no hunting, or classes or mountain/ desert terrain trekking with this gun and scope combo. i was looking at 3 until i saw the Athlon tracking test on another post, so the other 2 are SWFA 20x 42 MIL QUAD and the Vortex HST 6X24X50MRAD . The Vortex is as high as i would like to go at $639. thanks in advance.
