Well. Thank you everyone for your input. I ordered an 8X56 S&B Klassik from optics-trade! Only spent a touch over half often budget so now I need to start looking at binoculars. I’ve got a $550 head start on saving up for those. Got the scope for $750 with shipping.

Optics trade said it will ship in “One month or longer”. Does anyone have any experience on how long that might actually be?

I’m still probably 6 to 8 weeks from having my rifle build finished. So no real hurry.
