AS with most anything in life I always seem to have a hard time finding a place to draw the line especially when it comes to spending money.
Its like buying a new pickup they will all pretty much accomplish the end result but do you spend a little more on leather or other gadgets?
So looks like I got the goahead to spend a little money on a new scope this will be my primary rifle my 257 weatherby. Ideally I would spend 600 bucks and get a vx3 4.5-14. But I dont think I would ever attempt a shot at over 500 yards with this rifle even though the capabilities are there so there is not really any need for BDC turrets and I despise BDC or boon and crocket tyoe reticles.
So that leads me back to the Nikon monarch in either 3-12 or 4-16. Both bring about the same money and I have found them for as low as 350 shipped. I am really leaning this way as with shots out to 500 with the 257 bee you pretty much know that at 400 you put it on its back and 500 you hold over 12" give or take.
And is the monarch worth 100 bucks more than the buckmasters? As the buckmasters appears to do everything I like especially the side focus?
Then I find a used vari x III 4.5-14 AO for 379 now this is an older scope but my 3.4-10s have yet to fail me. but then I begin to creep back up in price and for about another hundred I can get a new one then another hundred and so on soon you are looking at swarovski money.
what would you do and dont tell me to get a burris FF2
