[QUOTE="Rockfish Dave, post: 2114377, member: 14257"] Just thought I'd add my .02: Recently bought a 'Primary Arms PLx 1-8x24mm FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated ACSS Griffin MIL' for my main hunting rifle. I have to say I am extremely pleased. For my area, I'm looking at 1-400 yard shots on feral hogs and white tail deer. It far exceeds my older SWFA 1-6x30mm FFP' in the same role. The BROWNELLS - MATCH PRECISION OPTIC® (MPO) 3-18X50MM RIFLE SCOPE is another worthy option in this price range. Have spent some time behind a friends and it is another one that punches above it's price point. With just shy of 40 MILS of vertical adjustment, clear optics and a very user friendly reticule it's hard not to endorse it. A nod also goes to the previously mentioned SWFA 5-20x50MM HD scope. Have had 2 of these and they both out performed their price point. Clarity varies from batch to batch in my experience. The first scope was phenomenal. While shooting on a paper target, I kept seeing something drift by my FOV after each shot. I zoomed out slightly and realized it was tufts of paper from the bullet impact... stunning clarity. The second was good, as good or slightly better than my Gen1 Razor, but not near the image of the first one. For heavy timber hunting the FOV was just too tight for my area and needs. Primarily hunting, and some target shooting. I have recently ordered the Arkin SH4 4-16X50 GEN2 FFP MIL VPR Illuminated Reticle with Zero Stop - 34mm Tube for use on my 22lr training gun. With parallax adjustment down to 25 yards it should do well, but will not know for sure until I have some time behind it. [/QUOTE]
