Getting to be time to put some better glass on my Grendel. This gun is a combined range and hunting gun. My local members range is 25-135yrds, public range goes to 200 with once a month 600yrd (only 600 no mid range) shooting. Hunting is only a month a year, but the primary reason I built the gun. I want to find a scope that can handle dual duty for me.
I think my biggest challenge will be that currently I have a 6-28x40 scope, so I am used to being grossly overscoped. I never bring a spotting scope to the range as I can see 223 hits @ 200yrds thru my scope
My chances of shooting over 600yrds are almost nill. I have never been around a location offering that sort of distance let alone often enough to warrant a scope designed to do it. So what power would you recommend for dual duty? I think the classic hunting 3-9 would just not be enough, but I think 6-28 is to much and would be problematic in hunting situations when something pops up close in.
I was thinking maybe a 4-12x or 4-14x? My budget is quite limited, but I would like to get an idea of what people recommend so I can start looking around and keeping my eyes open for people selling, etc..
This one has had my attention for a very long time, and seems to have really good reviews.
