I have a Browning BBR 30-06. On it I have a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x50. I purchased it with the thoughts that it was a good scope, it fit my budget, it had a lifetime warranty, good light gathering, and enough magnification for what I thought would be my needs. However, I missed the mark on the magnification.
I'm 56 and wear glasses when shooting. I really didn't think I would be shooting at more than a few hundred yards. But I find that I am shooting longer distances and the 9x magnification is limiting me. Even at 300 yards, I believe I could shoot better if I had more magnification.
I like the brightness of the 50mm objective, but I believe in the situations where I'll be shooting longer distances that I don't really need 50mm. I like the BDC reticle, although mildot would be fine too.
I'm looking at a replacement scope with greater magnification (at least 12x, if not 16), BDC or mildot, a lifetime warranty, somewhat rugged (I hunt, but I don't push it). What brands and scopes should I consider? There is such a great selection, I'd appreciate some experienced opinions.
Thanks in advance,
