I believe it was the crossfire that I was researching. I'll find link

The Viper line is in a whole different world/class than the Crossfire or Diamondback. The link I provided was to the Viper model. Much higher quality! I believe the Crossfire is made in China or Phillipines while the Viper is from Japan."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776 -
The Viper line is probably the best rated scope line on the market right now.Originally posted by BlackGT View Post
my scope, I highly recommend it:

Ditto to CJ's comment. I have the 6.5-20x44 Viper (non PST model) and you are more than welcome to try it... It's the same one that I linked to for $389 from opticsplanet..."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776Comment

Don't forget about Sightron.
I still feell they are a quality scope at more than reasonible prices. I think they extended their rebate offer again. I got my rebate back in like 2 weeks, so you know it isn't BS.
My suggestion would be to decide whether you do or do not want to dial your shots. You may not need to really do much dialing at only 300yrds. So a BDC reticle may do fine or (god forbid) a BDC dial could work. of course MOA and mildot reticles are better if you ask me. BDC stuff is a crutch if you ask me.
At a cheap priced scope , the mechanisms are all shoddy at best. This is the biggest reason i went with a Sightron. They have a patented mechanism inside and I have tested it by shooting the box, etc.
The adjustments are great on this thing.
Sightron big sky line of scopes . Unless you are shooting something small , 300 yards isnt that far. I'd say 10x to 12x should be more than enough.
I ended up with a 3-12x42mm for about 300$ after rebate.
They are Japanese made, and feel as good a quality as good cameras, great adjustment, positive dials ,etc.
Sightron is a great underdog still, meaning good deals. Nikon lines are good , but I only liked the monarch and up lines. Leopold is just bullshit in the cheaper ranges if you ask me . They are the incumbant to make comparisons against.Comment
