Like the title says. I have a basic blued/wood Marlin Model 60 that needs a new scope. I currently have an NC Star 3-9x40 mil-dot on it and it's so mediocre that it's almost unusable. Looking to keep it under $150. So no S&B or US Optics.
I use this rifle for practicing the fundamentals of shooting for groups on a budget (not necessarily plinking per se), and want to be able to hit small targets out to 150 yards max. How important is AO/adjustable parallax? And tell me about factory-set parallax and how it affects scope performance for surgical shots from 10-150 yards.
I'm considering the Bushnell 2-7x32mm AR Optics Drop Zone-22 BDC scope as an option so far. I was also interested in the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32mm Dead-Hold BDC scope for similar price but the specs say parallax is factory-set at 100 yards, should that be a deal-breaker? I'm not an expert on scopes.
Whatever I choose, I'm set on having a mil-dot or BDC reticle to use the different aiming points for holdovers depending on the distance to target.
Thanks in advance for answers.
