I have read the stickies, done my searches and I really appreciate the open knowledge that has been shared here.
Still, I am stuck. I have a Savage 10FP .308 that I am finishing and I need to upgrade from the crap scope I wasted money on to start. I want to shoot a local match that does targets from 50 yds to 550 yds and I will be shooting prone.
My question: Fixed vs variable scopes. Those that shoot fixed...can you tell me why/what you see as the advantage? I am starting to lock my decision and it prob comes down to a 10x vs 16x..anyone have advice which should I go for? I am leaning towards 16x.
Two models that are the most intriguing to me are the SS 10x or 16x (not the HD version) and the Sightron equivalents. Both of these have high marks from board members and are in my price range.
Any guidance or insight would be appreciated. If you think I should go with variable, more power, diff brand, etc....please sound off too. Thx gents!
