She is 12, and shoots a fair amount, but not an avid shooter, or hunter. She does like to shoot P dogs and coyotes.

She has eyes like her uncle and can see forever.

I'm getting in to her gun fairly cheep about $550.

I still need a claw sling, Limbsaver, scope bases and rings, and a scope.

SO what should I do for a scope, she has no idea scope #1 to scope #5, so it will be up to me to get something she can use and keep for a time with out upgrading and not brake old Papa wallet.

I have a Burris that I like on my 8mm, the rest of my guns have Redfield or Leopold's. A little more than I want to spend on here first.

At Amazon I can get a Burris droptine for 160 bucks.

And at Amazon I can get a Vortex very similar for a the same price.

Of those two what would be your choice?

Or similar at the same price point.

I have had a Vortex spotting scope and a pair of binoculars that I had to send back to be repaired. Their warranty is great, but I'd rather have something that I would never need to find out if their warranty is good.

Burris has the same warranty.

That's a hard one. They both look like good scopes. One thing I like about the Vortex is that once its sighted in you can set the turrets back to zero. That way if you ever want to change the turret adjustment you can easily go back to your original sight in.
