Finally got some money and time for an upgrade. I currently have a 3-9 monarch, with a basic reticle and its not cutting it.
The new scope will be going on a Tikka T3, 308. I'm looking for a scope that will do 200-500yards with ease. I missed a mullie across a canyon at 480yds just recently and it absolutely sucks thinking I could have made it with the right equipment.
I love the idea of the light weight Vortex, but one of my gripes about the Monarch was how it performed in low light. I'm not sure if the Vortex being better quality and better glass will improve that or its strictly limited by tube/objective size?
The burris Veracity seems awesome minus the weight. I have no idea how heavy that is going to be once I start hoofing it around.
I usually hike at least a couple miles, maybe more maybe less. I hunt out West
also the Burris is First focal plane and the vortex, second I believe. I dont even know which one i prefer honestly. I dont have a ton of scope experience. But it seems like the general consensus is that FFP is a better choice.
Plus, knowing my self, I will probably be using the Reticle to adjust for holdover and not the Turrets, So that isn't the most important thing to me, as of now. Once I get more experience that might change.
Any help is appreciated. I really want to get my system setup for more success! And i need some serious range time.
