I've have narrowed it down to these two. Please no other suggestions. If you had to pick the better, which one and why? Element Helix 6-24X50 (second focal plane) OR Sightron S Tac 4-20X50 (second focal plane). Thank You!!
If You Only Had These Two Options

- Start date
I prefer the 4-20x power range. The reason is I do more field shooting than bench. The 6x is a bit too narrow field of view for hunting. My ideal power range is 3-18x, although this is a rare option among the quality glass providers.

Sightron for me. They have been around a lot longer and are far more recognized if you choose to sell it down the road.

Sightron the 4x will be more useful. Sightron is Japanese.
6x is a mistake for any hunting rifle. Helix is made in China, and I have discontinued buying Leupold for this very reason. I just don't see quality in Chinese-made scopes; they just look and feel cheap.

"6x is a mistake for any hunting rifle."
Any??? That would seem to absolutely depend on who, what, and where. An opinion stated as general fact. Usually a mistake.

I have the Sightron 4-20-50 it’s a excellent scope for the money! Also the 3-16-44.
I feel they are much clearer than the Chinese, these scopes are manufactured in the Philippines in a sightron facility.
