After saving for quite some time im getting close to purchasing a new optic for my rem700p 308. Here is my question. What should i base my decision on without having looked threw any of these scopes im considering? I want something ffp so have been looking at vortex pst ffp on the low end or swfa sshd 5x20 on the high end. However neither of these scopes are available locally to look at.

Im going thru the same thing now. Im not sure what your distances are nor your price range. But look at my thread, its below your post.

K thanx i posted it twice haha gotta figure out how to delete one. The biggest thing is not being able to actually put hands on these scopes before buying
 
Re: How to make choose an optic

we cant delete it. The Mods will lock and or delete it. Again I too am in the same predicament. I cant take a look at them in person, so Im trust some of the long time members here to guide me.
