Been lurking for a while learning as much as possible. I've read countless comparison threads on the many different scopes out there right now and have narrowed it down to these three. This will be going on a 204 Ruger build that will mainly be used for punching paper out to 250 yards and the occasional crow and prairie dog shooting. I've come to these three scopes which I can get for around the same cost and the reasoning I will break down below. This is the price point I want to stay in as I already feel like I'm over doing it for a 204 Ruger.
Burris Signature HD 5-25x50 - I have not been able to find much on this scope yet, but what I have found seems to be positive. Biggest reason for this scope making the list is I've had good experiences with Burris in the past (had a 4-20 Veracity that I liked) and I can get this scope with a simple fine plex reticle. The one recent video I found suggest that the glass is better quality than some of their older scopes at this price point.
Strike Eagle 5-25x56 - This one mainly made the list because of the 34 mm tube and 56 bell. Clarity seems to fall in line with price point. Vortex's warranty helps here too.
Midas Tac 6-24x50 - This choice is was made based on the many suggestions I've read here. Would love to have the 5-2x56 model but that ups the price more than I want to spend right now. Honestly this was my number one choice for a while and the only thing that was holding me back is for this rifle I dont feel I need the Xmas tree reticle.
So I'm looking for some help in choosing. Ranging reticle and illumination are not required for this rifle. I'm looking for glass quality and decently accurate turrets here. Again the standard plex reticle in the Burris is whats pushing me that way, I just cant find much info on the clarity of the glass. What say the Hide?
Sorry the post went a lot longer than I expected.
