I've been looking into getting a scope for my PTR-91 lately. I considered the many tasks it will/may be asked to perform, as well as my own habits and training, and concluded that i wanted a rangefinding (mil-dot or similar) reticle, fixed power in the 4-6x range.
I then found that i use a ridiculously outdated method of determining range and compensating for bullet drop: mil and hold-over.
The shelves in stores in my area are stacked high with Second Focal Plane variables, and when a ranging reticle can be found, it's only accurate at max magnification. When I commented on this, the teenaged clerk's response was, "Why would you ever shoot something at less than max power?"
So after a frustrating search, I'm looking seriously at the IOR Valdada 6x42 Tactical with MP-8 reticle.
Anyone have experience with these scopes?
Can anyone suggest alternatives?
