[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 507307, member: 10832"] I am a little late to this thread so you may already have been given similar advice but if not I would start by answering these questions. It will help you greatly and allow you to narrow down your choices to a manageable number. Scope overload is one of the biggest issues when you first start looking. 1. Do you want MIL or MOA turrets and/or reticle? 2. Do you want a specialized reticle, ie BDC, MILDOT, MIL-Hash, MOA-Hash,etc. or just a standard duplex. If you are going to have a duplex then that means you will be dialing the turrets for your longer shots so make sure you get repeatable turrets. Nothing is more important. 3. Do you want a First Focal Plane (FFP) or Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle? If you are going to use the reticle for holdover I strongly suggest you look at FFP. There are reasons to get FFP even if you aren't going to use the reticle for holdover but it is especially good if you are. [/QUOTE]
