Thread: scope options , which one ?

Mainly a hunting rig for deer out to 300 - 400 max, maybe further if confidence builds and practice on gongs is made .
I don't want a monster scope perched on top as this defeats the purpose of a compact build.
All scopes mentioned have a ballistic reticule of some description and drop chart will be made to work impact points out for various ranges.

Choices are within my budget:
Vixen v1 , 3-12 x 40 , made in Japan
Zerotech Thrive , 3-12 x 44 , made in China
Athlon Talos , 3-12 x 40 , made in China

There's probably a Vortex model around that price point also .

I think I know which I will go for but feel free to throw your opinion in the ring , knowledge is power.
2nd hand is also a consideration but I am not really finding much out there.

Cheers

Looking to buy a Bergara myself, I think up to 10x with hold over recital and dial up would be the go.
Got to keep it light in my opinion.
