This could go a million different ways, you're going to need to provide the OB with A LOT more information... budget, intended uses, etc.

No brand loyalties. Prefer to stay under $200. Normal hunting use and hopeful to have my daughter use it at the end of the year to take her first whitetail

Vortex fits your bill for that all day long!

I'm about to buy an Athlon scope. My budget was 400 or less so I'm going with the Argos. I have been doing a TON of research recently and they seem to stick out for the prices they have. I have looked at them in
Academy too. Highly recommend if you're on a budget.

VX Freedom or find you an older Vari X III or Vari X II Leupold in a 3-9x40 and get it sighted in.

If you watch, you can find some pretty screaming deals on Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x or 1-8x LPVO, in the $200-ish range. I have these on a couple of my carbines and have been pretty happy with them, especially given what I paid for them.

Palmetto State Armory runs deals on these with some frequency.

I'm about to get 2 new scopes from Athlon Optics. Great looking glass in the $250 - $600 range. Both are 42mm on the end. That's my preferred objective size. 2nd focal plane too.

Don't judge me... I just bought a $100 Athlon Neos off the shelf at Wal-Mart, for the price it's not terrible glass. BURRIS Drop-tine is decent also.

I'm with Brazos Dog and schmellba on this one.

These are the 2 I'm getting.

Opinion on the Argos? That's what I landed on
