New scope

[Arash]

Hi

Recently I sold my FX impact and my scope. And ordered Kalibrgun capybara. I hope I'll receive it this week.

So now I need a new scope

I had Hawke sidewinder 10-50 60, Hawke sidewinder 8-32 56, MTC Viper tac 5-30 50, Marcool FFP 6-24 50 & Discovery (I think VT2) 3-12 44

I wanted to do some benchrest but I hadn't enough time for that. Now my targets are pigeons in garner or grain depot mostly at night.

IR and termal optic are forbidden here. That discovery worked well for hunting (cheapest one) and I think

are good for me.

What would you choose for this situation?

What magnification do you think you'll be on more often? 

Catch 22 IMO because cheap scopes at highest mag typically get degradation in the image quality and dim out a bit.

Of those two I'd look at the FOV numbers paying attention to what they are at on low magnification.

I like SFP scopes if the magnification will be used on low mag for hunting a lot because of the normal sized reticle but for anything else at high mag, even benchrest, I like FFP. With FFP I'm hardly on low magnification anyway. 

You should seriously consider Athlon Optics Midas TAC 6-24x50, it's "THE" scope to have in it's price range and worth every penny more! The build quality, controls feel, glass, and feature set is amazing for the price.
