Thread: $1000 bang for buck general purpose scope

I do have a FFP scope and for target shooting its fantastic because the subtentions are the same at all magnifications and they match the mRad clicks, but for hunting it is indeed a bit of a wank because its too fine to see at low magnification. To get a good scope for target shooting will cost more than $1000. With the 4.5-14x VX3i the exit pupil is small and you need to get the scope location and cheekpiece height just right or else you're floundering. If you want an all rounder then the 3.5-10 or fixed 6 capped are better for hunting but still satisfactory for basic target shooting up to 300m. If you were shooting a 243 22/250 or other underpowered subcalibre the 14x top mag would be worthwhile but with the 308 micro accuracy isn't essential and the low end 3x will be much more useful.
