Hi guys,
I'd like to kindly ask you for some advices / opinions on choosing the optics. I've already done some research and have seen several reviews on youtube every one of mentioned below, but still would like to hear and consider your opinions, especially about durability/common issues, turrets quality and feel and ofc glass clarity.
I'm deciding between Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30x56 FFP, Primary Arms PLx 6-30x56mm FFP and Tract Toric 4.5-30X56 34MM FFP. It would be mounted on my Bergara B14 HMR in 300 PRC for long range / "ELR" shooting approx. up to 1 km (1100 yards). However It could be a bit more ocasionally, + - 1200 metres I roughtly expect the max distance I'd shoot. Not some serious comp., just for for fun at first place, maybe some local match in the future. But overall, I don't and won't have opportunities and time to get to that long distance ranges so often. That is also the reason I don't think it would be rational to go for top tier scope like NF or so. Anyways if you have some other (brand) tips in that price range I would be more that happy to hear of them!
Delta - I haven't tried / seen throught these optics yet, but they are quite available here in my home country. And heard mainly positive words about these from few ppl. But from the limited impression I've got so far on Delta it would be the next two scopes I would rather pick.
PA - I have a Glx on my 6,5 Tikka for some year and half and like the scope quite a lot, not having any serious complaints really. Just the reticle is a bit busy one...and that said for shooting shorter distances. However the Apollo reticle do appeal to me much better than Athena one I have now. There's one dealer of these here in Czechia, but the scope I mentioned took like 8 months to be shipped from the States and it is likely it could get that long again.
Tract -... which ATM I would probably pick over the 3 doesn't even have international dealer, on the other hand, they are super friendly when I've been asking them about the possibilities to ship it here etc. And even with duty and tax it's the cheapest option of those 3 (please don't get me wrong, the prices of the above mentioned, are very similar basically, so I'm not looking for saving every single dollar I can, just saying..) Also the reticle I would prefere over Delta or PA. Downside is since It's quite rare here in Europe (I don't know anybody owning a Tract), giving it a look would be probably quite complicated....and solving warranty if sth goes wrong.
I'd be very glad for any tips, hints, comments etc. on this topic and have a nice rest of the day!
Cheers,
T.
