Hello all,
I managed to break the Swift 6-18x50mm I had on my Savage 10FP (please, don't ask), and now I am in search of a new scope. I thought about getting another Swift, but I looked into some other scopes as well and I have decided I want something different. I have narrowed my choices down to the following scopes:
-Redfield Golden Five Star 3-9x50mm
I got to handle a Redfield the other day and it seemed like quite a nice scope. My friend has had one on his .30-06 for 20 years and it's held up great. However, I really haven't heard much about these scopes otherwise and I would like more input/feedback before I decide to get one.
-Weaver V10 2-10x50mm
I like Weavers a lot. I like their clarity and they have a reputation as reliable and rugged scopes.
-Burris Fullfield II 3-9x50mm
Sort of like the Redfield, all I have to go on with these scopes is what I've heard. They have a great reputation, but I want more input on them before I get one. I heard that the entire ocular bell moves when you adjust the magnification- is this true? If so, is this a potentially bad thing or is it just a design quirk?
Thanks in advance for any feedback you can give me.
