Im looking at scopes right now trying to decide what I want. I have a range between 700-750. Maybe 800 if its worth it. I can get a 2.5-10 PST FFP for 700 or a 4-16 PST FFP for 850 from my dealer. He has a used HSLR 4-16 FFP and I like the XLR reticle for quick hold over.
This is 7 times the amount I have ever spent on a scope. I grew up using minimal guns. Dad just didn't care as long as it shot a bullet out the end and could kill a deer at 100 yards. Now, Im building a 1500-2000 dollar rifle setup (with scope) which is still more than Ive ever spent on any one weapon. Being 18, thats a good chunk of change, but thats why I work . Buy once, cry once!
Reason Im having such a hard time deciding is I need FFP for sure for quick shots at say 400-600 yards on deer IF i am confident that I can put that bullet where I want it. Maybe never, and ill keep it under 400. However, I also want to be able to practice at 1000. Biggest issues I see are with an HSLR, I only have .5 moa adjustment vertical which is ok as long as the reticle is good enough for holding. I kind of like the capped windage to prevent being bumped. Otherwise, I may just drop the 850 on the PST 4-16 so I have the extra magnification for 1000 yard papers.
