[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 2875139, member: 72440"] I don't think you can go wrong with either of your choices. In my opinion it is hard for a novice to choose, my suggestion if you have similar scopes available is do what I did, let her pick as others have stated. Have Leopold and Vortex, and a few other brands, lined up my available scopes mounted on rifles for my daughter outside not indoors and let her look through each one focus, play with magnification up and down, sunshade on or off, etc. asked her which she liked the best. She picked the Mark V Leupold which was already mounted to the creedmoor she was going to use. Interesting as far as the magnification throw lever, didn't care. I thought it was a close call Mark V and the Razor to her my Strike eagle was the next best one to her and very close to her top choice, then the Razor. Then my Bushnell nitro which was my least expensive FFP scope. When I showed her the parallax focus and how that should focus based upon the range of the target. She said it was a toss up between the top 4, with the Leupold a little bit better, but she told me all 6 of the scopes were pretty good and she could use any of them. Her feedback to me was the reticles were all to busy when compared to what is on the 10/22 ruger, cross hair reticle. As she pointed out to me as long as I would be with her to tell her which line to use in these ranging reticles she is good. Didn't like illuminated reticles. She had fun and that was the most important part. Subsequent to say I let her use the Mark V on the 6.5 Creedmoor Bergara which is not Illuminated for hunting. [/QUOTE]
