Pick my scope for me

[JAYgs8163]

Hey Jay, I got some extra cash for Christmas....any experience looking the bushnell mped line? I'm not sure it's $175ish more scope, if any. I'm perfectly good with the ares etr, but I'm still open minded until I'm ready to order within the next couple days.

Or does anyone else have experience with the mped line?

Looks like a very similarly designed scope. I don't have any experience with them/that model, but I do know Athlons warranty and customer service is superior from what I've heard and read. Bushnell is now owned by a holding company as where Athlon is an Optics only company and their customer service from what I've heard is excellent. I've read some complaints here and on the Slide of issues with Bushnell customer service.

Another vote for Arken. Mine is the EP5 5-25x56. Japanese ED Glass. Tract Toric is even better image but much more expensive.

I'm an Arken fan but that ep5 is very heavy, I have one but it's on a 22lr for bench shooting, wouldn't recommend for hunting unless you're just going a short distance to hunt from a blind or box. JMO

Saw his reply and checked real quick and saw the same thing. I found a Meopta optika 6 3-18x50 for $700. I think that's a Japanese scope if I'm not mistaken.

No, Meopta is made in the Czech Republic I believe. Good luck on your search for a new scope.

I agree. I just try to get the most for the $$$. Better to have and not need than to need and not have lol.
