i'm looking to buy sub 400usd scopes for fun and for mounting on 22tcm bolt action, some 10/22's
right now, i have mostly athlon scopes (they're good value, but i want to try new brands and models)
please recommend bang for the buck scopes within the budget and with the below requirements.
please share what you have compared these scopes with so it can help me gauge glass quality
scope purpose:
bench rest shooting
short range, 100m or less
purpose of purchase:
just for fun
comparison of scopes in the 400 buck or less margin
looking for diamonds in the rough (i.e. discontinued scopes, massive discount scopes)
requirements:
preferably SFP
preferably parallax adjustment 20yards or less
30mm or larger tube
available now (no arken)
objective 44mm or larger
preferably with sunshade
max magnification must exceed 13x
no acss
purchased but not yet received:
bushnell nitro 6-24x50 (purchased because sub 300, sunshade included and color grey)
bushnell nitro 5-20x44 (purchased because sub 250, sunshade included and color grey)
considering:
sightron 4-20x50 considering because: want to try sightron, made in the PH (instead of china), no sunshade, old model scope (probably are better options?)
vortex strike eagle 3-18x44 and 4-20x50 considering because: generally ok reviews, sunshade included not sure about glass quality though, also, made in china
trijicon accupower 4-16x50 overbudget at 500+, probably not made in china, NO sunshade included or available to purchase
nikon x1000 4-16x50 still doing research on this, sunshade included, parallax adjustment is 50 yards and up?
