I'm going to need some glass for a 700PSS I recently acquired. I've been eying the bushnell 3200 5-15x40 tactical, but a friend is encouraging me to step it up to a vortex viper pst 4-16x50
I know I'd get the extra reach with the 30mm tube of the viper, but for now, I can't think of any opportunity to shoot past 600 yards. not to say i won't in the future though. Is it really worth dumping almost twice the cost of the bushnell into a vortex, or am I likely to be plenty satisfied with the bushnell?... any reason the bushnell might have any problems zeroing at 100yards if i put it ontop of a 20moa mount?
This is my first long-range rifle, so its quite likely my brain will be the limiting factor, and not the gear. But if it makes more sense to 'buy once, cry once' I don't mind spending some more....
