RE: Ok fellas....which would you go with??
Stump,
It is hard to give really good advice without more facts.
If you could describe your hunting application for this scope that makes it a lot easier. What rifle is it going on, what are you hunting, what type of country, typical range of shots. What type of hunting you are doing, treestand, spot and stalk or ?. Hunting in a dry climate or expect to be rained on, etc:.
I see guys who hunt in treestands wearing $1200. binoculars around their necks and just hope they didn't spend that kind of money for a binocular to use for a few seconds at a time a few times a day.
Just because you can spend the money doesn't always mean you need to or should. For a guy that goes hunting a couple days a year and is happy with any deer a scope under $200 is plenty. There are many good brands to choose from under $200.
Match your equipment to YOUR needs.
