California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
I need some rifle scope education.
Qualifier:
I plan on purchasing a .223, within the next two months, and the Ruger American will probably get the nod. I don’t hunt, the local range’s maximum distance is 200-yards, and my rifle shooting has been with iron-sighted ex-military and lever actions, except for the very inexpensively scoped Swede and 10/22.
What I think I know:
Because of the range’s 200-yard limit, I don’t need a reticle anymore complicated than a crosshair.
Leupold and Nikon are quality brand names I’m familiar with.
Vortex seems to be new, Bushnell’s been round a long time, but I’m not familiar with Sightron.
Educate me:
Given a maximum of $200 (less is better!) what do you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
Michael
