Getting scope for big game hunting rifle (300WinMag), spot and stalk mountain game rifle (elk, mule deer, sheep, goats). 3-15 power range.Which system better for hunting use . Speed of use? Ease of use (time to use, ability to use with cold, wet hands).I've looked through comparable price/power range scopes and am aware of glass difference between brands. I have used a Swarovski scope (old model FFP TDS reticle) for years.Opinions of those who have used these scopes in backpack or horseback hunts would be greatly appreciated.
 
Cds with a basic mil turret and some actual dope.
Swaro dots are functional but sorta crude for fine dialing and limited to something like 40moa of travel which is usually like 400 yards.
Cds with yardage is last place because it’s not any better than the swaro and you cant easily adjust it.
Swaro for glass every day of the week.
