Zeiss demo V4 4-16 x44 or 50 for as little as 700 bucks depending on reticle. It will keep a lot of its value and have a great warranty. Great glass too.
You will have 500 bucks left over to buy quality mounts and ammunition.
I have one being delivered today.
I would certainly not spend 1200 dollars on a scope manufacturer that may not be in business in the foreseeable future.
Yup. Easy choice
