I came across SWFA, and they have an awesome scope for around the same price.

Then, I started looking at Vortex. They have some nice scopes, and the basic Viper 20x can be had for $459.

How much magnification does one need?

Do I need FFP or second?





I finally said **** it, I need to do a test. I used one of my Redfield Revenge 18x scopes to see if I can resolve a 1+ mile target. I could easily make out a 15" target. I regularly use the cheap Redfield to consistantly hit 1000 yard balloons with my AR-10.

I am chasing my tail. **** me.

If I can see it I can shoot it, I don't need a Mega scope to hit targets like a lot of wallet-warriors need.
