I am currently looking for a new scope in the $400-550 range that will sit atop one of my rifles (currently a Savage 110 in 7mm Rem mag, but eventually will probably find itself on a FNAR .308, I like the feel of this rifle but not ready to pick one up at this time) and will be shot out to about 500 yards max. Now, I already have a Bushnell 3200 4-12ao on my Stag AR-carbine, and I am really impressed with the quality of the glass. I have only shot out to about 300 yards with it, though, which I feel is about the effective range of the gun anyways.
The 3200 I'm using has a ballistic reticle with 3moa crosshairs below the main crosshair, and i like this system of drop compensating a lot since I hate messing with turret knobs. This will be especially important with my new scope, since I intend to shoot it out to 500, and might do some long range hunting where time is a factor. However, the scope I have my eye on, the Bushnell 4200 4-16ao just has a plain jane crosshair, without drop compensator/rangfinder and it seems like I will be dead in the water unless I adjust my elevation knobs whenever I want to make a long shot.
Is there another scope in this price range with the quality of the elite series that has a compensating reticle? Or should I just suck it up and expect to adjust the turret knobs whenever I want to make a long shot? I would like to avoid doing this, since I am not even shooting benchrest and I don't need perfect precision.
Thanks
