Hey all, sorry to make my first post sound like so many first posts, but would love to pick some brains that know a whole bunch more than I do. I'm moving into the big boy world to expand outside of AR-15s. Got a brand new SASS that needs some good glass. 90% of use will be range, 10% hunting. Range use will be recreational from 100-600 yards to start and will eventually move out to 1000-1200. For competitive range use, will need to be able to range and engage multiple targets from 100-1000 quickly and effectively. I'm 95% sold on FFP and Mil/Mil.
I'm a self-professed glass snob from using the good stuff in photograpy (anyone run a Nikon 70-200? Unreal what good glass can do). Anyway, my skill level will grow into my budget and I only want to buy once, so I'm starting with these which I think are where I want to be price-wise (the $2500+ stuff is probably huge overkill for me - this stuff may be too!):
Nightforce F1
USO SN-3
Vortex Razor 5-20
I'm not afraid to spend less, but not finding too many FFP options that also bring the durability/dependability/glass quality. Bottom line, I like to buy stuff that will last a long time and not have to worry about "trading up." Any guidance from those of you who are much wiser than me is greatly appreciated. There's a ton of knowledge out here and I'm glad I found this place. Thanks for reading!
