OK, I have been shopping on-line until my eyeballs are ready to fall out. I'm looking for a scope for my CZ 550 FS. The property I hunt on probably doesn't have any sight lines longer than 200 yds. I have read many, many reviews and ratings, and I have shopped around for best prices. I'm interested in what I consider the low-end-but-quality entries, e.g. Nikon Prostaff, Leupold VX-1, etc. I have had a chance to look through some of them, but by no means all. Right now I'm most tempted by one of the following: 1) Prostaff 2-7x32, which I can get for $129.99 with free shipping, or 2) Redfield Revolution 3-9x40, which I can get for about the same price.
I have seen a Prostaff up close, but it was a 3-9x40, which I was comparing to a Vortex Diamondback. I thought the Vortex had slightly better glass, but the Nikon was a very close second. I have not had a chance to check out the Redfield, though I have seen its cousin, the VX-1, which was very nice but would cost me about $30 more.
So, feedback on any of these? Thoughts on 2-7x32 versus 3-9x40 for the 550 FS? Truth is, I think I'm over-analyzing and suspect I would be satisfied with most any of these.
Thanks in advance for answering yet another scope question!
