hey all, i'm in quite a conundrum at the moment, my tax return is here and the wife has given me the go ahead to get my scope. now i have it narrowed down to my 2 choices either the Redfield 4x12 (4plex reticle) or the nikon pro-staff 4x12 (mil-dot). i have a XS7 .308 and was planning on using the supplied one-piece base...unless you have better suggestions. now i have stopped at my local sporting goods store and looked at both scopes in 3x9 thats all they had. but i notice the redfield is a touch shorter and lighter than the nikon, but the redfield also has a wider FOV at 12 power...by about 2 feet. let me explain what i plan on doing with my rifle...mostly i plan on hunting, but when i'm not hunting i like shooting. i'm no benchrest shooter, but have had lots of experience with mil-dot scopes and know how to use them. so that isn't an issue. i just want to hear your suggestions and help with my set-up so the bolt handle won't mar my new scope. also, midway has the redfield for $209 and the prostaff for $165.... thanks in advance
