Helping my uncle with fading vision pick a new scope. He likes my old Weaver Classic Extreme with a heavy duplex and illuminated red dot in the center.
He is putting it on a 243 for deer, and will likely not shoot further than 300 yards. He does not dial or use a reticle for wind or elevation, so simple SFP is fine. Looking for 2-4x on the low end, and 9-12 on the high end of magnification. I'm thinking 40-50mm objective would be fine.
He'd like to keep the budget around $400 and is fine with buying used.
What would yall recommend? Here's a pic of the reticle from my weaver
