I ended up getting a Vortex VIper HS 2.5-10x with BDC reticle from the classifieds on another site. It was "used" but essentially new in the box for $260. The outer wrapping was removed, but everything else was still in the internal packaging. I feel like I got a steal on this. I wanted more magnification at first, but after mounting the scope, I can tell it is going to meet my needs just fine.

Sure, if that’s what your after you can dial it in to whatever ammo but long range I’m not gonna want bdc, ranging , holdovers etc are easier for me without the bdc.
But 260 for that was a good deal it sounds like.

The Vortex BDC uses MOA subtensions at 1.5, 4.5, 7.5 and 11 MOA so it seems it would be pretty easy to work with compared to many/most other so-called "BDC" reticles out there (i.e., it's not calibrated to a specific caliber/load)
Nice deal, rxer. That should get you on target.

My point was depending how you tend to shoot, bdc is not the first pick for most, and it does depend on bullet used 55 gr isn’t gonna land in the same spot as a 77gr..anyways , we can discuss this in another thread not to derail.
