Ok, I need a new scope for my Sako .338 Win Mag. I have been using an old Redfield and it is time to retire it.
Unfortunately, can not afford the scope I really want, so have been looking at the Bushnell Elite 3200, since I have found a 3x9x50 online for 212.00 with free shipping. Now I see the Vortex Diamondback 3.5-10x50 scope, and wonder how it compares. Do they torture test the Vortex scopes like they do the Bushnells? Will the Vortex scope handle the recoil of my .338? What about Blizzard type lens caps? Are they available since I hunt in the Pacific Northwest, and it happens to rain just a bit.
Bushnell does have the rainguard coating to help deal with the wet.
Any help would be appreciated.
