    Default Need help quick on scope choice!

    I'm looking at two scopes and need help deciding. Because of a promo I can get either scope for the same price. Is one better than the other?

    Weaver Classic V-Series Rifle Scope 2.5-7x 32mm

    Vortex Diamondback 2-7 would be my choice and the FOV will be almost double which is nice on moving game?

    Great customer service and warranty too

    Field of view should be very high on your list. I have a scope that has the same field of view on 10 power as some competitors have on 3 or 4 power.

    I have two Redfield 2-7x33 with Acu-Range reticle. Excellent scope for the coin, do not know about the Weaver. Lifetime Warranty on the Redfield and made by Leupold in the USA ....

    I have a couple Weavers, Lifetime warranty, made in Japan, Zero problems. zero is rock solid on a 44mag SuperRedhawk, and they pass the box test.

    FOV and eye relief are comparable, can't really go wrong with either one. If it's possible, I'd get the Weaver 2-10x38
    A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

    I have read (no personal experience) that both the Redfield Revenge and Revolution both pass the box test.

    It came in the mail yesterday. I put it on this morning and I just got back from sighting it in. The good news is the scope is very nice and the the bad news, it did not make me a better shot!
