Im very happy with my Nikon Monarch. Im not sure how much functional variance you are wanting but they have a 4-16x42 and a 4-16x50. I got mine for a great deal new $350. Not sure if youre a mil dot guy but they make it in 5 different reticles. They all have the locking side focus parallax.
Thanks for all the advice. I was set on nikon from just personal experience but I am really impressed with what I've read about burris. I live only 2 miles from Bass Pro so I will definately hold both and look down them.
Has anyone had any experiences with the BDC or B Plex reticles?
I would like some advice on scope selection for my hunting/target savage 10fp .308win.
I am looking at a
Nikon Monarch 4-16x42SF with BDC reticle
Monarch 4-16x42SF | MONARCH | RIFLESCOPES
or
Burris Signature Select 4-16x44 with Ballistics Plex reticle
Scopes - rifle scopes...
Great post Big MO. Right up my college student budget alley. Very practical and reasonable post. I also agree with your optics suggestions. Ive never felt the need for a 50+mm obj lens. I own a weatherby vanguard and a savage 10 both very accurate. And ive got a savage 10fp on the way.
