Hello all,
Wanted to get some opinions on some mid priced optics. My use for the optic is to have something decent for load development and shooting out to 400 yards with my 223 rifles. Then at a later date put it on something better suited for 1000 yards when the funds become available. I’ve been looking at the following:
-Nikon FX1000 4-16x50 FFP=$425 (non IR)
-vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP=$300
-Falcon S18i 3-18x50 =$350
-Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50 =$370
I know there are better options in the $800+ price range but I can not justify that right now.
I am thinking the Nikon is the best of the bunch with the rebate they have going on. But is it almost $100 better than the others? Reviews seem mostly positive on all of these, especially the Nikon. Looking for the best optical quality, reliable tracking, and turrets in the price range.
Thanks
