[QUOTE="The_Brofessional, post: 2198768, member: 118745"] Hey there, Long time shooter, but just getting my first bolt gun for hunting season (and some 500+ yard shooting for fun) Picked up a Bergara B-14 HMR in .300 WM My question revolves around my scope choice. I understand there are a plethora of great scopes to be had in the $700-1,000 range, particularly from Vortex such as the Razor, Strike Eagle, or Viper PST Gen 2. All around 5-24x50. My biggest concern when reading/watching reviews, however, is that most of them have 200-400 rounds fired out of a 6.5 Creedmoore or a .308, and not a cannon like the .300 WM. These copes withstanding the recoil is my concern. My question is this: Are there any scopes in the sub $1k price point that have a history of doing better on high recoil-impulse rifles than others? Just in my short time researching, I'm finding that these scopes are ALL subject to bad batches, and that the whole "Made in Phillipines" vs. "Made in China" doesn't actually translate to better or worse QC. Doesn't help the Strike Eagle is so new either from a history comparison perspective either. Thoughts/opinions (other than the "gitchu a $2,400 NF") are appreciated! [/QUOTE]
