    OK so after doing a bit of Maths. I reckon I can shell out $1000 (Buy once cry once?) Been seriously looking at vortex bushnell and Weavers. I want a 6ish to 20ish x 50, Tactical turrets. I have absolutley done my head in looking at all the various options! Any particular one you favour? FFP? SFP? I know FFP will be dearer however is it worth it knowing its a hunting set up and follow up shots my not always allow for dialing up
    Also which reticle is a good choice?

    OK I have decided on weaver tactical 4-20x50. If some of you could do me a favour. I know there are many online shops and I dont know half of them, and usually one has a deal on that is 45 pages back in google search. Can you please check your favourite 'buy optics online' shop and check for best price?

    Weaver Tactical 4-20x50, Mil Dot, Matte Riflescopes, Binoculars, Rangefinders and Spotting Scopes at The Optic Zone
    cheapest of the ones I have ATM, None of the others match the price as none have specials on the tatical.

    A cheaper option that gets good reveiws from those that own them (I have not seen one in person)

    Clearidge Ultra XP5 4.5-22.5x50, Mil Dot, Matte Riflescopes, Binoculars, Rangefinders and Spotting Scopes at The Optic Zone

    another option if size is not an issue
    Sightron SIII 6-24 X 50 Black Matte, Mil Dot, SIII624x50MD/CM, Rifle Scope: Arcadian Sales
    But 6 on the low end is to much if useing for real close stuff. Not sure on reticle thickness and I think both of the others are 2FP not FFP like the weaver.

    From my very limited knowledge Hori, its the tube diameter and elevation adjustment range. FFP vs SFP? Turret mechanism may be different too.

    Edit: Aww hell just looked they have gone up to 30mm diameter too.

    As far as I can see the only difference is sfp/ffp, could save you a bit of money depending on what means more to you...

    Yep hearing that!
    More looking around shows 1" tubes? Also Adjustment range is only 35MOA, Is that going to be enough for future 700+ shots.
    So back to original scope choice
    Weaver Tactical 4-20x50. Now to find reputable shop to buy from.
