After much research here on THR and elsewhere I just bought 3 each Centerpoint 2-7x32 and 4-16x40 rifle scopes plus 1 each Simmons 6.5-20x50. The latter is for a varmint rifle.
My eyes aren't the best anymore and I never could shoot worth a darn anyway. All these need to do is...
1. Be reasonably sharp/clear
2. Stay centered once adjusted
3. Outlast me... 10-20 years
I'm not interested in pricey or even medium-priced scopes. I want the "best bang for buck compromise". I want "budget" but not "cheap". These just need to work for this old coot and I'm not looking for "minute of gnat's byootox" accuracy.
Their purposes vary... plinking, hunting (maybe), and target shooting. Calibers vary from .17 HMR and .22LR through .308 Win and up to .375 H&H Mag. Later a .458 SOCOM may follow.
Personally, I think I made a good decision... though I know opinions will differ.
I'm listening (reading).
