No matter what you decide on, make sure your reticle and turrets match. ![]() I have 2 of those 3 (the first 2), and both are outstanding. In your position, I would buy 1 of 3 scopes: Heart beat is also a bitch at higher mag. You will also notice mirage more if you have high magnification. I have an IOR 3.5-18x50 ffp, and a 12"x18" target was taking up a vast majority of the reticle at 600 yards on 18x. If you're intent on having more magnification, you won't need anything more than 15x. Super Sniper has an OUTSTANDING 3-9x right in your price range. You should be fine with a 3-9x out to 600 yards. Magnification is not the holy grail in long distance tactical shooting. Keep in mind that up until recently military snipers used fixed 10x scopes. So the consensus is that 15-17x is plenty strong enough for 600 yds? I think maybe I'll drop down the emphasis on the magnification, and use the money I'll save to up the quality of the scope/brand.Ī widely held rule of thumb for tactical shooting is 1x for every 100 yards. But I've been lead to believe that x9 is pretty much used for hunting, and not nearly strong enough for distance/target. I know the glass quality is perhaps the biggest thing to consider.

Don't waist your money on BS and hipe when you can get a good starting scope for a good price and you will most likely get most of your money back out of when you want to upgrade. These guys know what they are talking about. The Viper, or even the Super Sniper, and those other recommendations you have seen here for $300.00 to $500.00, are going to last and last and last any you won't be out twice the money when in a few moths you have to, replace it because it won't cut the mustard. Look at it like this, if you spend $250.00 bucks on an Osprey with the same features and it shits the bed in two months and you have to replace it.how much are you out when $399.00 would have gotten you a lifetime warrenty and good cs and quality glass? (Before all the ranting starts, yes I know it's not NightForce, USO.blah, blah, blah quality, just comparing within the OPs priceline). The glass on my viper is just as good as that on the Leuplod VXIII LR I have. Warranty= unconditional, transferable, forever. ![]() JMO, but at $399.00 you can not beat the quality for the money.

Have any of you heard of Osprey rifle scopes? All the reviews I have read say the quality is great for the price. But recently I came across a brand that seems to be getting great reviews. I have had the good fortune of using Counter Sniper and Leupold scopes. Its primary purpose will be at the rifle range 100-600 yards with a rare use for hunting. For now, I need a scope that won't break the bank, but will serve its purpose while I hone my shooting skills. Right now shooting is a frequent hobby, but in a year or two I'd like to get more serious perhaps tournament level shooting. I'm pretty sure I know what magnification I'm looking for, what I can't narrow down is brand. I've done a lot of research and know that glass quality/coating makes all the difference. I'm no stranger to the rifle range, but I'm still somehwat of a novice when it comes to scopes.
