[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2070346, member: 1951"] There are all kinds of better scopes, but you have to ask yourself, do I know why it is better. I would strongly suggest you determine a reasonable optics budge for you for now. 450 yards is not a challenge for most scopes. You could shoot and dial that satisfactorily with a 3-9x Leupold VX3i. Once you determine your reasonable budget, I would look at the Vortex Viper PST II line, the Athlon Ares BTR, Meopta Optika 6, Bushnell several models, Athlon Cronus, etc. The Cronus is still on a good sale right now at Cameraland, I believe. To someone, I’m sure the Leupold Mark 5 is great. The Nightforce models are always really good, Kahles, Tangent Theta, March, Schmidt & Bender, etc all great, but can you tell? Can you use their greatness? Will you care? IMO, a person is better to start cheap and learn why the are making each step. [/QUOTE]
