New to the forum. I have been lurking for awhile and recently snagged a 10FCP-SR. I have done a lot of research but interested in opinions on a decent scope. I plan on 300yds to 600yds average but would like to reach out to 1000yds if needed. Vortex Viper PST 6-24X50 has my attention but wondering if I can get comparable with less money. Also came across the SWFA SS 10x42. Good reviews for less money. I don't live on a range but like to shoot and hunt, mainly Texas whitetail. Planning on a few Colorado hunts in the near future.

Thanks.
