Greetings guys!
I'm so fortunate that my dad would like to buy me a new rifle scope for completing my education. A rifle scope that should fit a long distance rifle I'm in the progress of (re)building (Howa SA 308w), but I can't really decide what I should get. I would like to use the rifle 80% for paper shooting 50-1000 meters and 20% for deer hunting 20-200 meters.
After researching and reading tons of reviews I found the Bushnell Elite 3,5-21x50 to be interesting. Nice zoom range, ffp reticle, good tracking, exposed target turrets and decent glass. My only concern is the combination of FFP reticle with the large zoom range. With the G2 reticle it seems the lines are very very thin at low power, which I would use for hunting purpose, and therefore I doubt if i will be able to see the reticle in low light?
Is it impossible to use this scope for hunting or should i go with something "less" tactical for my desired use. Something like the Viper HS-T 4-16 sfp, Trijicon Accupoint 5-20x50 perhaps.
Also what is the difference between the Bushnell Elite 3,5-21x50 DMR, HDMR and ERS?
P.s. I'm from europe, so you can't rely on the prices to be the same over here. For instance the Bushnell DMR is almost the same price as the Trijicon, which not seems to be the case in the US
