Subject: Low Power Diamondback HP or Viper HS
Posted: June/16/2015 at 09:34
Scope going on a 22" Model 70 in .270 Win, range toy once a month 100 - 300 yards and medium game out to 300 yards maybe 2x per year.
Deciding between -
Viper HS 2.5-10x44 - I would make this my first choice if it wasn't fixed parallax, should I care?
Diamondback HP 3-12x42 - Low power has a much smaller field of view than the Viper (28.8' at 100 yards vs 47' at 100 yards for the Viper), is that sufficient?
Diamondback HP 2-8x32 - Gets me the large field of view at lower power, would like a little larger objective, but at 4x power my ratio is still >5 so light transmission should not be an issue with the smaller objective, right?
Would appreciate feedback on the questions above, thanks in advance!
