[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New scope, but which one?

Posted: 10/22/2010 7:14:24 PM EDT

Need a new scope, I've been looking at two, but can't decide which one. First is a Pride Fowler 3X9X32, and second is a Super Sniper 3X9X42. It will go on a 16" barreled AR-10T. Which and why, or neither (suggest an alternate please)??????
Here is the Pride Fowler:http://www.rapidreticle.com/600-2lr.htm
Super Sniper:http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-3-9x42-Tactical-Riflescope-P41044.aspx
Both are priced about the same, will be used for hunting 50-300yds, and occasional steel banging out to 800yds. max. Would've went with a Vortex PST, but can't wait anymore. Gotta have it by the first week of November for deer season.

First which type of reticle do you prefer, Mil-Dot or BDC ?

I can use either, I like the idea of the BDC, but wonder how well it's executed. Guess I should call PFI and find out.

Maybe NIkon, For my 6.8 rifle I'm going to get a buckmaster 3-9x40 with bdc. and use the Nikon Spot On program to figure the drop on the BDC reticle

The Nikon is a great optic, I have 3 of them. Thought I'd just get something different this time, though the Monarch X is'nt too much more than the scopes I'm looking at now.........hmmmm. Choices, choices.
