I built my son a 6mm Creedmoor with a little 16" barrel. Its jut for him to learn how to shoot with. I want to get him a good optic for for it, but I'm not sure what direction to go in. It doesn't need to be high magnification; probably 1-8, 2-10, or 3-9. He'll learn how to adjust the turrets, so they need to be reliable and finger adjustable. I'd like to keep it below 20oz. I'm hoping for a side focus model.
My first thought was a Leupold 4.5-14x40. But I've owned one and was not very impressed by it. I also thought that a SWFA 3-9 mil quad would fit the bill, but no side focus (which might not be a deal breaker). I might still end up with one of these models, as they fit into my price range. But before I buy, I'd like to hear from the community. I'm open to all suggestions. TIA!
