Getting back into this thing. Getting parts together for another build, and I'm at a bit of a dilema on the glass. Rifle will be in 6.5x47, Keeping barrel short 18-22" most likely. Trying to keep the glass around $1700 give or take.
#1 IOR 3-18 FFP SH edition seeing these new for $1550 or so. Had one a while back and sold it when I got a smokin' deal on a S&B, so I never shot through it.
#2 USO 3.2-17 T-Pal. See these going used from $1500-$2000 prety regularly. Had a USO ST-10 on a .308 a couple years back and loved that scope.
If it was your money which way would you go and why? I can see benefits either way, and some of the differences may be just flip a coin.
New job is taking me to an area where I will have better access to some of the comps, so I plan to be getting back into that more heavily.
