Hi,
Just grabbed an almost brand new NEF hornet w/ a 4X bushnell on it.
Truck gun candidate, but needs better glass. 200-225$ upper limit given intended usage. Thinking weaver 6X,B&L 10X,Nikon 6X, or leupold 6X. General varmint targets in northern maine, Leaning towards B&L but want to keep as light and compact as possible. Any thoughts or advice appreciated.
Thanks, Bleuphyshe

Welcome to GBO!!

Congrats on the hornet!! I'd add the Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40 Mildot to that mix, great scope for the money!!

I meant the bushnell, still thinkin' B&L. Only issue is those babies weigh almost a pound, which takes away some of the "Handi-ness".

I have a Red Head (Bass Pro store brand of Bushnell Banner) 4-12X 40mm AO on my 20" SL and I don't see anything un-Handi about it. It nestles beside my right leg in the Grand Cherokee and with a box of bullets on the dash, it's pretty Handi! :-D
