Help me out...I have just recently purchased a yet-to-be-shipped Desert Tactical SRS in .300WM. I would like add a nice piece of glass to it without spending a fortune. I have been strongly considering a IOR in 6-24x50mm; however I would prefer a FFP scope, and have heard horror stories about IOR FFP scopes, also the highest magnified scope in FFP is their 3-18x44mm IIRC. Recently I have been considering other options. One is a NF 5.5-22x50mm as well as a Premier Reticles 5-25x56mm but neither is what I really want and neither are what I would like to pay. The NF has rather bland glass and a small tube, and the Premier is very expensive and has too large a objective bell for my taste (DTA also recommends that the Obj. be no larger than 56mm). As of right now I am leaning towards spending the cash and getting the Premier however I would like to have enough cash to afford to shoot the thing after delivery. What to do? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, Mav.
P.S.: Glass clarity and brightness are of utmost importance to me, and my eyesight is not terribly great so a decent magnification is prefered. The rifle is likely to see service in paper punching (generally at 500yds bu as skill improves out to 1500yds+), and may be used for long range hunting (200-500yds), if used in this capacity it will be from raised blinds so weight is not a primary concern.
