Hello everyone,
I don't post much here but do visit on a somewhat regular basis. I have been pondering on what to get for my next optic but not sure what direction to go. I currently own a Bushnell Elite Tactical 3-12x44 (ET3124FJ) and a Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 (800362). In the past I have owned an SWFA 5-25x50 IR. So this is the extent of my scope collection. As you can see, none of these scopes are anywhere near high end but they are not the crappiest options either. What I want is something similar to these but better glass. My eye sight is not what it used to be. I don't mind getting a used scope to save money. So the questions I have are:
1. Is a Vortex PST Gen II 3-15x44 or the 5-25x50 better than the scopes I have? Has better glass?
2. Is a Bushnell DMR, not the Pro, has better glass than what I have?
3. What can I get that has better glass but still be within $1k?
Thank you.
