I guess I just thought it was odd people saying they didn't think Vortex was tier 2 on SH given the obvious optical difference to the the other stuff(which you definitely pay a premium for).
After looking around I landed on Delta Stryker 4.5-30 based on what I could find on compromise of features, elevation, magnification and clarity for cost. If I find I only ever use the rifle chambered in creedmoor for target I might pass the 4.5-30 on to the 300winmag or 338 lap and get the SFP for higher magnification. I think eventually all the chassis guns will have tier 2 and the Chinese scopes will go on 22lr or 223/308 sporters. If I was starting again I may have gone long action AI with various bolts and barrels and a single tier 1 scope but then you can't share with your friends.
