I do see that there is another Scope for an AR thread. However, he is looking at 100-600 yards. Instead of starting a threadjack I am asking a different question.
I am looking at shooting (okay, plinking) at steel targets from 50-300 yards. 300 yards would be an uncommon shot, most are under 200 yards. I am looking at the Vortex 3x Spitfire.
What I would really like is a 1-4x with a big objective lens. Most of them seem to be like this 1-4x 24 (yes, there are a lot of other brands; but they all seem to be very similar) and I am concerned that the scope will lack brightness.
In some ways I like the Nikon P-233. In particular I like the 40mm objective lens; However, I am not interested in 4-12x at all. It is just more magnification than I feel I need and feel it would be slow to get on target.
As you can see, I am staying in the under $400 range here. In particular, any other suggestions or thoughts about the Vortex 3x Spitfire for 50 to a max of 300 yards?
