I'm looking to buy a new scope - which of these would you choose for an all-purpose hunting rifle and why:
1. Sightron S2, 3-9x42mm, $209 (best eye relief)
2. Simmons new Master Series Aetec, 2.8-10x44mm, $189 (seems like a good value)
3. Weaver Grand Slam, 3.5-10x40mm, $229 (on sale at theopticzone)
4. Sightron S2, 3-12x42mm, $309 ($100 more over the 3-9 gets me 3 more top end magnif; is it worth it?)
5. Leupold VX2, 3-9x40mm, $299 (good warranty, but pricey)
6. Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40mm, $209
7. Burris Fullfield 2, 3-9x40mm, $204
8. Bushnell Elite 3200, 3-10x50mm, $209 (good price for large objective)
I'm leaning towards the first 3, esp. the Sightron, but as always, looking for the best value. In terms of recoil-withstanding, this is going on a .25-06 for this season, then probably a 6.5mm swede after that. Thanks.
