Rifle Scopes Narrowing scope choice down

[jamesbern]

I am grabbing this tonight without a scope, base, or rings.

I'm going to go with a Leupold one piece base...probably a 20MOA. Going to grab Burris Xtreme Tactical rings too.

Now scope choice. I had an SWFA 5-20x50 illuminated on my old rifle and am leaning towards another, except not illuminated.

What I request:

FFP
Mil/Mil adjustments
Relatively high magnification...4-16 5-20 etc
Reliable zero
Good warrenty and build quality

I wanted to keep it at $1000, but if worth it I could go over a bit.

This is my top choice right now.

But also considering:

Should I stick with the SWFA or is there something else I'm missing?

A little birdy told me Burris is releasing FFP, MIL/MIL, 5x scopes in the $1,200 range, soon.....

Thanks for the info. After debating it, I figured i'd give a Vortex PST 6-24x50 FFP Mrad a go. Just placed an order from Liberty Optics for the scope and a Seekins 20MOA base.

Hope you like your new scope but the glass is a lot better in the SS.
