I was really hoping to hear some suggestions on a upper Tier scope. I recently spoiled myself with a new Daystate Redwolf Heritage .22 HP and want to treat myself to a nice scope for Christmas. The problem I'm all over the map with my decision. I do majority of my shooting from a bench 30-50 yds in my yard but looking to spend a lot more time at 100 yds and beyond with this one. I want a high quality FFP scope with great glass, easy to get behind eyebox (hoping to get my kids more into shooting as well and they struggle with a lot of my scopes), illuminated reticle, something with parallax down to at least 30 yds preferably 10 yds and reasonable weight. I also like a tree reticle especially with a precise center dot, I really like the Tract floating dot. That's it, should be straight forward.
My initial list was the Tract Torric 4.5-30x56 34mm, Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30X56, Athlon Cronus BTR GEN2 4.5-29x56 or another NIGHTFORCE NX8 4-32X50
Now I been watching used scopes on another forum and I have been seeing a few of these pop up for a few extra bucks ($300-1000), Minox 5-25x56, Steiner m7xi 4-28x56, March 4.5-28x52mm, Schmidt & Bender PMII 5-25x56
And now the Sightron SVIII 5-40x56 has also caught my eye. On my Bolt action rifles and AR's I run mostly Steiner's and a Vortex AMG, on most of my nicer air rifles I have Sightron SIII's and a NF NX8. Sorry for the long winded rant. Like I said I'm all over the map, honestly I know I don't need any of these, but have the itch for a really nice scope and enjoy reading opinions of others, would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks
