Glass suggestions on a budget

[Whelenon]

^ I'm with him. I'm still thinking about a Vortex Viper but confused on the series I want. I was told in my other post to go with HS since it will be mainly used for hunting but it has 1/2 MOA elevation clicks. I've never had a scope other than 1/4 clicks so I don't know how I will like that. I'm in no rush, guess I'm in the same boat as MF'n, got everything except a barrel which will be here sometime in January so I still have a few weeks to choose wisely.

The 2.5-10X44 Viper HS has 1/4moe adjustments.
