You are definitely not wrong about that at all. The two scopes I have at the moment are the previously mentioned Alpen 2.5-10 and a Bushnell AR Optics 4.5-18 on another rifle. The difference in glass quality is obvious between the two as I can see better at 10x with the Alpen than at any...
Going on a 308. Will be used for hunting, but also intermediate range shooting out to 600ish yards.
Needs to be at least 4-12x50 and 30 or 34 mm tube. Would prefer a little more magnification.
Needs to weigh less than 2 pounds! I don't need or care about an illuminated reticle.
Would prefer...
