This scope shopping is killing me. Seems like several companies make a great scope. Considering the following:
Vortex Viper HS-T
Nikon Monarch 3
Nikon ProStaff 5
Leupold VX2 , VX3
Bushnell Engage
Looking for a hunting scope to pair with my X-Bolt 270. Whitetail hunting, fields, field edges, woods. Want to have a solid 400+ yard gun with more magnification than most people suggest (14+ top magnification). Also, I really love the idea of an open/exposed elevation turret. I can afford any of the scopes listed above, but I'm tight with money, so I'd like to have a very good reason to buy the expensive one.
Any advice is helpful.
Thanks
