I was in the same boat as you. I wanted to learn something new and I got a used bow from a buddy. Took it to the archery shop to make sure it was to go.
I sighted mine in last weekend. Scope was awesome and clear all the way to 6x everything higher that was unimpressive to say the least. Almost as if you swapped scopes when I went over 6x
I mmm not sure that’s legal in Alabama. I’m almost positive that thermal can’t be used for hunting. Id guess a night vision scope would be out as well.
I was referring to the one you tested. The triangle reticle seems dumb but useful as a red dot. I like the mildot and the illuminated crosshair reticle in the Accupoint line.
Nice work. My 10x42 bx4 outshine both my meopta scopes with 50 mm objectives. How did the non 56 mm scopes stack up against each other? Are you sure meopta provides the glass for the Accupoint?
I’d say that your best bet would be to find a comparable scope from the same company. That way you don’t have too many different variables. Sticking with leupold… Not exactly perfect but a 3-9x40 Vx freedom is 12.2 oz in a 1” tube and a 3-9x40 mark 3 is 15.6 oz. In a 30mm. The freedom is moa and...
Only if you like the feel of the m2 better. I’m a fan of oversized controls and a slim fore grip. The m2 with comfort stock fore grip is funky to me. The m2 field just seemed bland for the price increase.
