[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 3107123, member: 103742"] Yeah... as mentioned by Southpa above... first question... how much are you willing to spend? Then go to the store and start comparing them and see what feels good. Do you like/want low turrets (I learnt the hard way with that one when the side elevation turret is going into your hand when you carry the gun)... how the magnification ring feels to turn it. What type of crosshairs do you want? And that last one gets ugly!!! Can you stand 10,000 dots and hash marks when your using the gun at 75 yards on a running deer. Great when your dialing everything in at 600. Which I am to the point of give me a duplex sight with ballistic turrets. Anything past 300 yards I have time to dial. Anything under 300 you should be able to confidently hold over for trajectory or wind. Years ago a salesman said to me when I was looking at scopes... check the Burris out. I laughed. Yeah right. We laid out 10 scopes in the store and 5 of us who were regulars went through them. Shockingly... the Burris beat out a ton of scopes. Not saying they are the choice but saying you pick what you like and fits. [/QUOTE]
