Hey gents, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on the Hide. Last time was in ‘22 when I purchased a Gen 1 Vudoo. Which brings me to my next point, it’s become clearly obvious that PRS/NRL22 is not me. I’ve reluctantly come to this decision to sell my Vudoo. In doing so, my hope is to find a suitable optic for punching paper and maybe a few varmints with my Ruger 77/22LR. A gun I’m very fond of.

There are three scopes in contention:

Mark5HD: 2-10 or 3-18
Burris XTR II/III : 2-10 or 3-18
Athlon 2.5-15

These are the best options after looking and considering my budget. I’m really intrigued by the 2-10s but would feel a bit limited by power range. The Athlon is on the lower end however it’s been recommended by a friend from the Hide along with the Burris XTRs.

Please help a guy out and give any info I may have missed or left out. I am open to suggestions at the used price of a Mark5 or lower. Thanks.

The closest shot will be 10-15 yards, I think a parallax to 25 would be good but I have been wrong before.
If you get a chance, try to get behind the scope and see how clear the image is up close. I had a scope with min of 35yds I tried to use for Appleseed events at 25m and it drove me crazy until I replaced it.
