I’ve been meaning to give Field Optics a call to see what they’d recommend. They were great to deal with when I started doing some research into my tripod purchase.
I would go to the Aero over the waypoint. I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews regarding the Waypoint… enough where it was a turn off in my book. Aero has a long action coming out soon too.
I’d also add tikka to the list as a consideration as well.
Strictly off your list though, I’d go bergara.
There’s been a number of swaro spotters on FB marketplace. There’s definitely deals around. You could save a bit more a jump into something you wouldn’t need to upgrade.
For hunting purposes I recommend 4x4 and a winch - without a doubt. 250 cc’s isn’t enough.
I’d get something 500 or bigger, 4x4, and winch. Nothing less. Power steering is definitely nice but not a necessity. But if it were me - I’d say get the UTV. If you’re persistent, you’ll find a deal.
