John,
Where I hunt, it's all open ranch land and the shots range from 300-500 yards. We have the dreaded "3 point min" and a metric butt load of huge 2X2 mulies. That makes almost all of us carry around spotters with our other gear.
I'm looking for a variable rifle scope that tops out near 20X to help confirm three on one side. CDS type preferred, BDC or Boone and Crockett would work, I guess. We tend to use range finders a lot, as well. I'm sporting a 243 AI, if that matters.
What's the best tradeoff for weight, price and magnification in your opinion?
Thanks!
