I've looked through a lot of scopes at Cabelas, Gun Shows, etc, shot through scopes on buddies rifles, but when it came to buying my own, I suffered from perpetual Analysis Paralysis.
Finally pulled the trigger & ordered my first one this morning.
A Meopta Optika6 1-6x24 SFP with the 4C reticle.
European Glass made in the Czech Republic for $465 shipped (Dvor.com)
I was about all set to order one of the Leupold Vx-Freedom 3-9 scopes (the 30mm tube Firedot Duplex version) but since this is going on a build to be used for hog hunting, a 1-x seemed more appropriate.
There's some controversy as to whether or not the illumination on the Optika6 line is "daylight bright" but on a sub $500 optic, I'm okay if it's not quite there. Quality glass for daytime with illumination that works in low light conditions is fine with me.
Shipping time was listed as 1-3 weeks. Now, I wait & see if I made the right choice. No pangs of buyers remorse yet. I feel good about it.
