I was thinking of going with a new Redfield Revolution scope with the Accu-range reticle for my new Optima. http://www.redfield.com/riflescopes/
Almost all of my hunting shots would be between 50 to 150yds. I do hunt some open fields so there is potential for longer shots, but I try and limit myself to my comfortable range. Trying to decide on getting the 2x7x33 or the 3x9x40. I have 3x9 on my .270rifle and almost never have it turned up passed 6/7 for hunting, usually 4/5 is sufficient.
Will I loose a lot of light transmission by going with a 7mm smaller objective lens?
I was also thinking of going with the Warne Maxima bases and Quick detach rings ( http://www.warnescopemounts.com/quick_detach.html ) so that I could leave the fiber optic sights in place and shoot them if I wanted to or went somewhere to hunt that didn't allow scopes or magnified scopes on muzzleloaders.
In general, what do you think of this setup and which scope would you go with and why?
Thanks!
