First off, I have done a lot of research on different optics in my price range but have yet to find a thread that has compared the models I'm interested in. I have recently ordered a RPR in 6CM as a budget rifle into the precision shooting world. I am in need of a decent budget optic to complement it. My budget is about 1200 and I don't mind used as long as its a quality optic. I do not have any experience with high end optics and I have been using a Leupold Mark AR Mod1 4-12x40 for 3-4yrs on my SPR and I know its pretty bad. My eyes seem to fatigue really fast when looking through it for extended periods of time.
Must haves are FFP, mil/mil, holdover reticle, 10mil rev with zero stop, decent glass. Use will be 90% steel paper shooting, 10% hunting from a stand or blind until I get a dedicated hunting rifle. Would prefer to be able to order as soon as possible (receiving a refund in 1-2wks to fund it)
The scopes I have been looking at are:
Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 - this is the one I am leaning to the hardest. I can have this one new at my near max budget price. Its in stock
Bushnell ERS/XRS - seems very robust and I like the magnification levels a little better, not sure on glass compared to Razor. Can find them on a regular basis in the PX.
Bushnell DMR 2 - seems like the best bang for buck, can get a good deal on it through Experticity, but it hasn't been in-stock to order in a month and street price is outside of my budget.
I did get to look through a PST Gen2 5x25 the other day and the glass looked nice through my untrained eye. Really don't like that its a 30mm tube and afraid it might not have enough travel at long distances.
Let me know your thoughts on these choices or if you have one that I may not of thought of or considered.
