Scope Opinions on 10FCP-SR

[delmandi]

Hello,

I am new on here, I own a .223 Axis XPII and recently ordered a 10FCP-SR 24" to start getting into long range a little bit and to use in south Texas hunts on larger white tail and pigs.

This is my first 308 and second savage, I know there are mixed reviews on this new gun, so I am not sure on if it will have accustock or not, that will eat into my scope budget later on if it doesn't come wth an accustock.

I am leaning more towards the Nikons and Vortex for their warranty but have read a ton of great reviews on PA. I also own a Prostaff for another gun and am very satisfied with its quality.

I am looking for a temp scope to mount until I can afford a higher long range scope. I have narrowed it dow to a few.

I'd pick the PA scope too.

My son bought the SR, that is the scope he has on it as well. Loves it.

Midway has bushnell legend ultra hd scopes on sale right now. Big savings. I ordered one to try as it has stellar reviews everywhere. I do recommend the diamondback as well. Very bright

Forgot to mention bishnell has free sunshade and has mildot reticle. Their "bulletproof" guarantee too so you can use for a year and send back if not happy

I have a Buckmaster bdc NIB sitting on the shelf, but for the life of me I can't remember which model it is. I got it in some horse trading and if I don't put it on my son's .243 it will be up for sale soon. I'll look and see what it is when I get home if it is the 3-9 it is going on his .243, but if it is 4-12 it's going up for sale.

Edit: I checked it is a 3-9 so i am going to put it on my sons .243 and get rid of the cheapo on it.

I looked at a lot of models, did a lot of research, and for the money I can't find a better scope. Not to say there aren't any better, just I find that swfa puts quality into products a "working man" can afford.
