Yes another "need input" thread. I'm looking for a new scope to put on a Weatherby Vanguard in .30-06 and I'd like some feedback on the choices I have narrowed down. The main purpose for the rifle/scope will be hunting deer and hogs within 300 yards and paper-punching so I have been looking at something in the 2-10 power range with a BDC reticle. My budget maxes at $400. Other suggestions are welcome.
I have looked through the Fullfield II and Viper (Diamondback too). They are both nice scopes with good clarity and eye relief. I'm leaning toward the Viper due to the reticle and the glass seemed a little clearer. I checked out the E1 too and it's a nice scope but I don't care for the reticle. The Burris is about $200 and Viper is $250-300.
I have not been able to look at the Super Slam ($320) or the Viper HS ($380) in person. I have read good things about these but I'm not sure if they are worth the extra money. The HS is the only 30mm of the group; not a big deal for me.
