Beginner here need advice on glass

Save your money. And buy night gorse Schmidt and bender. Etc. buy and use any old hunting scope with solid rep and TRAIN without very high quality ammo the edge a high priced scope will give you will be negated by standard ammo. Until you can shoot well out to five hundred yards don't waste money on mid range glass. Once you break 500 yards then high end can make a diff. Until you do any fairly solid scope will work.

How much do you have budgeted for ammo? Vortex is worthwhile even though all their stuff is Chinese made.

what we have here is a failure to communicate.

I already bought a night force nxs 5.5x22x56 this is one of those threads that has probably progressed futher then it needed to
