Hello guys,
Here is a thing. I am picking a FFP scope that I'll use for beating the hell out of my precision 22LR rimfire (Sako Quad Range) at longer ranges. It is possible, that this scope will be later transfered to something like T3x or Sako TRG, as that Quad Range is meant to be a trainer. Now, the budget for my scope is about 900 to 1500 EUR. I need a MRAD adjustment with Mil-Hash reticle. I am choosing between these two models:
Sightron SIIISS 6-24x50 FFP Zero Stop (SIIISS624X50LRZSFFP/MH) => 1300 EUR
Vortex VIPER PST GEN II 5-25X50 FFP => 900 EUR
Now, i can get that Vortex sort of cheap, because the list price for it is like 1100 EUR here, and it even has better reticle. It has also less complicated warranty claims, as many shops sell those where I live, compared to Sightron which has only one supplier. What i do like about Sightron is that it is 200g lighter, and it has (presumably?) top notch glass and tracking system in that price range. It has been also a brand that I always wanted to have, but i never had an opportunity to look through one.
Now, question is, is it worth to pay 400 EUR more for the Sightron ? Is it noticeably better scope?
Thank you!
PS: Feel free to recommend me another scope, but it has to be FFP, MRAD, 50mm Objective, 30mm Tube, Parallax adj. from 40yd or less, and has to have a reliable, proven tracking.
