Hi All,
I'd like to replace the Simmons 4x12-40 that came on my Savage 12FV .223 that I bought at Dicks Sports with a nicer scope. The primary purpose: punching paper from 100-300, possibly up to 500 yards. After extensive research (I think), I've come down to three choices:
1) Super Sniper 16x42 ($312 shipped)
2) Nikon Monarch 5x20-44 ($420 shipped), Nikoplex (doesn't come in Mil-Dot)
3) Nikon Monarch 4x16-44 Mil-Dot ($370 shipped)
I would also eventually like to mount this scope on a .308 bolt action (Savage 12FV, Remington 700, or Tikka - haven't made up my mind yet) using picatinny rails and Leopold latch-type rings.
I know this question has been asked, but I thought I'd ask again. It would be nice to save some money on the SuperSniper, but I budgeted c. $400 for this purchase, so that's not my primary concern.
I like the adjustability, side focus, clarity, and reputation of the Nikons, but I've heard enough good things about the SuperSniper to add it to my list. I want the most clarity, quality, and accuracy for the money.
Thanks!
Bear
