New here but have been reading many of the post.
Looking to try and take advantage of the sales this weekend. I am trying to keep the cost to under $3.5K, less than $3K would be even better. I know this will probably bite me later wanting something better, just like rifles and day scopes.
Hunting location is fixed at 100 to 120 yard shots, normally nothing shorter or longer right now. Hunting from a fixed position over 2 feeders, never get but one shot because of limited field of view to the feeder.
Looking for something that can handle recoil from LMT 308, although may set it up on a bolt gun.
One that can be focused for better image clarity?
One with a less expensive battery pack option, 18650 battery packs? I have 18650 batteries, packs, and chargers.
These are the scopes I am currently looking at: Am I missing something better for the money?
I have read to stay away from ATN, is this a correct assumption?
Armasight Zeus 336 3-12x50 60hz - TAT176WN4ZEUS31 - $2970

Only a 3 year warranty on Pulsar – Issue?

Is it worth stepping up to this? Hate to do this but….
