Scope recommendations?

I would recommend looking at the reticle of all 3 and deciding on which one you like best. They are all excellent choices so, I think it comes down to reticle, price, and aesthetics. 
Of thise 3, I think I’d lean towards the Aztec due to the ret.

I think it depends on your priorities. I've owned the MTC Viper Pro 3-18. I loved the scope covers and think I would have liked the adjustable turrets had I kept it. I wasn't overly impressed with the quality of the glass compared with other scopes in its price range and below. It was good, but not great in my opinion. The bells and whistles on this scope are the real reason to buy this scope.

I just sold my Aztec Emerald 5-25 which I think will be comparable to the 3-18. Excellent reticle and good glass. I sold it because I liked my SWFA 20x better.

I've never owned the SWFA 3-15, but would probably choose it over the other 2 because I suspect the glass would be clearest on this scope and I like the reticle best.

Bottom line, I think you'll be happy with any of the 3 scopes you choose. You can't go wrong here.

I love my UTG 4-16x44 30mm scope. Budget price, superior results. a bit heavy.

I'd wait for tax day and take advantage of SWFA's sale and pick up the 3-15X42 FFP. Lot's of scope for a good price.

The SWFA is on sale now for $449.95

Exactly what I've finally decided to score. If they do another tax day I'm buying 2. Need one for the Wolverine R .25 and one for the AAA Evol .30. With any luck everything shows up about the same time.

I would not rule out the Athlon Argos from the list. 

Do not buy the MTC Viper Pro. 

The parallax adjusting is what you would expect from a $50 Chineese scope, and the customer service is nonexistent for that issue.

While the geared turrets are great, it doesn't make up for average glass and the distracting focus.

If you ever want to do FT, this scope is unusable.

At best it's a $200 scope, and only because of the turret design.

$600 is absolutly too much for something that is defective by design, and a company that seems be be ignoring the problem.

Question for "Oregun": How does image clarity/resolution quality of the SWFA 3-15x42 FFP scope compare to the quality of the Leupold VX3i 6.5-20x40 EFR Target.
If you prefer, I'll start a new thread with this question. I dont want to hi-jack a thread.
