I'm not gonna bother you guys with the normal newbie "which scope in my list should I buy" or "give your opinion" post, but here is my list that I will choose from. It will primarily be used for target shooting at local range (local range goes out to 1000yds) with some hunting. Ammo will mostly be factory 300 win mag, 111 Hunter XP custom build. I do have a few questions for those who own, or has a buddy that owns a scope in my list. How well will either hold up to the recoil of 300 win mag? The Primary Arms 4-14X44 is the only scope on my list that features First Focal Point, but is also the only one that is sub 50mm. In your opinion, is FFP worth giving up 50mm objective? If I've read correctly, FFP is applicable for accurate mil dot range finding and/or hold over, so is there a work around for scopes without FFP? Although my list is sizable, I'm leaning more towards the Vortex, one of the PAs, and the Mueller. Initially, I thought the vortex would be my choice hands down after finding a model at sub $300 ($300 is my max) but came across many negative posts on the crossfire line so I chose to broaden my search. Every unfavorable post did end with vortex CS taking care of the situation so that is a plus. I understand sub $300 wouldn't be ideal, but it is what it is. I don't mind dealing with Sending a scope back for repair or replacement as long as the problem is corrected.
