I'm looking to get a higher quality scope this year. I'm in no hurry so I plan to shop around and find one for a good deal. Right now I have a prostaff 5 3.5-14x40 with the BDC reticle on a Savage 11 (I think? it's the heavy barrel variant) in .308.
I have a 300yd range semi-close to the house. I'd like to be able to shoot a hunting decent group at that range. Right now I don't like the reticle on my Nikon. I realize it's probably the Indian not the arrow but either way I'd like to upgrade.
I'm looking at going either a Zeiss v6, swarvoski hd5, Leupold vx6 or a vortex (not sure their equivalent yet.) I'm more interested in a 3-18x50 or similar. I plan to go for a traditional, but finer, crosshair.
I'd like to keep the price lower than those scopes usually go for. I'm looking at a demo/blemished unit since all of those offer good warrantees. Does anyone know where to browse to find deals like that?
Does anyone have any suggestions/obvious "gotchas" on my game plan?
