I am looking for optics for my new Stevens 200 in .308. It will mainly be for shooting paper and probably max at 400 yards. I was going to buy the weaver grand slam 3-10, but I guess I missed the sale at midway. So I am debating whether I wait for another sale on the Weaver or buy the Bushnell 3200 Elite 10x or the Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40 that is on sale right now. My budget is $350 and the EGW base and rings will take up about $100 of that. If there is a big jump in quality from a $250 to a $300 scope I would be willing to up my budget.
I am also open to suggestions on other scopes in the $300 and less range that you guys recommend.
