Trouble!

[Keyman62421]

A couple months back I sustained an eye damage. I've been playing with the doctors for a couple of months and have another appointment here in about 30 days but I'm not sure and they're not sure if there's any real repair to this. I've lost the ability to see my targets clearly at 100 yards I can still shoot 50 with quite a bit of strain. My desire for a 50 Power Scope is now becoming a, I think, necessity. However, I'm looking at the NiKKo stirling and the falcon. I know that the Nikko will get a little foggy at 50 power but I don't need it to 50. probably up only the 40 and the price is right at around 800. I'm looking for any advice and experience on the Nikko and others but, being retired and on Social Security with a budget, $800 is a lot better than 11 and 13 and 15 and 18 and 19. Thanks in advance.

Steve, personally I would buy the Hawke 10x50-60 with EDS as advertised in the classifieds. I own three and they are great!

The only issue for you might be that the reticle is a little thin but the Christmas tree is terrific. The glass is perfectly clear and at $700 it's a bargain. The reticle is illuminated which might help as well.

I am sure sorry for your eye issues. It his hard to hit things you can't see.

The Vector Minotaur is the best budget high power scope I have found. 12-60 with a zero stop for 500 bux. They aren't as bright as a 1500.00 scope but they are plenty clear and the turrets have tracked well for me. I have several now.

I would second the Hawke ED, picked one up over the winter for $450.00, excellent clarity, planning on using it for 100 yd bench rest this summer. Rick

If you have anyway to check them in person please do so.. I have saw many of the same make and model have different clarity at distance !! Spotting scopes the same issue. When I bought my spotting scope, the local Cabela's was kind enough to setup 6 scopes together and had small business cards taped on a wall opposite side of store. Small print is the best test for clarity by the way... Even the same make and models showed a noticeable difference. Mail order can be a crap shoot...
