[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 1074486, member: 13831"] Yeah...I was trying to provide a comparison with the three different models you talked about....not knowing exactly what mag range you wanted. I think the 4-16X mag range you want would probably be a great fit for your hunting. The only down side is I've read threads where guys think the optical quality is lower than the 6-24X. Of course this could just be a very subjective thing....I have a 6-24X FFP and think it is a real value for the money ( I paid $719 for an open box.) But I like exposed turrets, zero stop and FFP. Here are some threads....with guys who talk about the perceived difference in glass between the 4-16X and the 6-24X: [url=http://www.savageshooters.com/archive/index.php/t-28952.html]Vortex Viper PST 4-16 or 6-25?
