Ok a few guys didnt recomend the weaver 2-10 they did like the 3-9 but said the fov and eye relief werent great on the 2-10. The Simmons Aetec 2.8 10x44 Silver was recomened. Any good or bad info on these? Leaning to the nikon prostaff 3-9x40.
ER is the same and the FOV would be different only at 2x vs 3xand 9x vs 10x. The rest is the exact same!! Hate to call BS but I suggest doing some research before taking words as gospel, the info you received wasn't exactly spot on!
Can't give you any info on the prostaff. My partner has an older aetec on a 280rem and it's been a goodto him. I believe the ER is 3.5" on the newer aetecs, though I have no experience/know anybodywith one.
In reference to an earlier point about setting a budget, I believe that if you spend 500 on a rifle you should be willing to spend 500 for glass. Your rifle is only as good as it's aiming device. Seems like your budget is the 200's which I don't think you'll find the perfect scope for the likes of .338wm. Your best to get out do some peering and pick whatever appeals to you.
