I have been searching for a while for a new scope for my future FX Impact MK2 .357 to be used for general target and occasional hunting small to medium game. My eyes were never the greatest and as time goes on, I wanted to spend a bit more to get a good scope that could still focus on things as close as 15 yards but also go to 100 or more yards. I wanted something that even as i get older and if my eyes get weaker I could still see well at long range targets.
After searching a while the two that seem to be promising are the Vector Optics 34mm Continental 5-30x56FFP https://www.vectoroptics.com/products/view/id/SCFF-30.html and sells for around the same price of https://www.amazon.com/Vector-Optics-Continental-Adjustment-Picatinny/dp/B084RF2SJ9 around $799 as does the Element Titan 5-25x56FFP
https://spaweapons.com/collections/element-optics-by-fx/products/titan which is also the same price.
I was looking at Athlon but they seem to start more like 20 yards and up and the only other scopes that seem to have ability to sight in close range yet have great magnification for long range were ones that were more like $1500 to many thousands. I was also thinking of the Aztec Emerald 5.5-25x50FFP but thought the Titan or Continental at a higher quality? I would like to get opinions on these two scopes, the Vector Optics & Element as they seem to provide that range and are around the price I was willing to spend. I am open to others if anyone recommends something else to consider. I wanted a FFP, zero stop, and something reliable that would last, sight in close range of around 15 yards, have 24x or more magnification, and I am indifferent on where it was made but more focused on a quality end product. I want to get the best quality that can have that range for somewhere around $800 +/- $100 dollars.
