Rifle Scopes Nikon FX 1000 or Sig Tango 4

I'm going to buy a budget scope for a budget 308 precision rifle. I'm having a tough time deciding between these two scopes in the 4-16 variety. Is one better than the other for about the same money?

I hear good things about the Nikon FX but have not picked one up.
For a little more coin I'd say the PST gen 2 is worth a look.
I had the Tango 4 and was not overly impressed with it.

I’m currently in the same boat. I put together a budget AR10 from an 80% lower/upper that was given to me. I have roughly $350 into it which mostly consists of the 24” match barrel. I just don’t feel a $350 scope would do it justic though. Then there’s the SFP vs FFP and all the features to look at so I’m still at square one after about 2 months of looking.

So far I’ve been looking at the FX1000, Viper PST Gen 1/2, SWFA, Diamondback tactical FFP, Athlon, etc

I handled a FX1000 6-24x and a gen 2 PST last week. FX1000 was noticeably lighter, both turrets seemed of the same quality, and the reticle was a tad thicker on full mag in the FX1000.

You would like the Athlon Ares ETR.
Imo best bang for your buck for under 1K
