Hey guys.
I just started varmint hunting and target shooting a lot. I mainly deer and small game hunt and would use mostly a shotgun but got into the rifle world last year.
I currently have 2 savage axis 223rem rifles and one (reg barrel) is wearing a cheap $70 Bushnell scope that is horrible. I can barely make out the target at 100yards.
The heavy barrel is wearing a vortex 4-12-44 but it doesn't have the AO. Is the AO necessary to have for say 200-250yard shots?
After purchasing it I seen vortex offered a 6-18-44 with the AO but thought that would be too much.
I'm thinking about replacing the Bushnell with another vortex 4-12 I found online for $119 but part of me thinks get the 6-18 and put my current 4-12 on the reg barrel.
What do you guys use? last year I shot a couple chucks at 150yrds and the scope seemed to do well.
