I am looking for a mid-power (3-18 ish) scope for 800 yds and under target shooting and station hunting use.
Max budget is $2,000.
I believe I have narrowed it down to these three:
Mark 5 3.6-18
Razor Gen II 3-18
Burris XTR-III 3.3 - 18
most important:
- optical quality ( I’m very sensitive to CA)
- turret ease of use
- build quality
- FFP
not as important to me: weight, reticle
My questions:
1) I have handled the higher power versions of the Mark 5 and Razor, but I can’t find the mid range versions locally to see. Am I giving up anything major on optical quality with the 3-18 versions of these scopes?
2) of the three, which one would you go for and why?
3) Am I missing any obvious other options in the price range that would do better for my needs ?
Thanks,
GB
