243, 9lbs. Sans optics, Informal target and recreation shooting. Like being able to dial in parallax, not steady enough to use to much magnification over 12-14x. May stand hunt with it

Thought I wanted a Trijicon 3x9 mildot green, after research and really looking at what the use for the scope would be think I found better.

Between a Weaver Tactical 3x15 or a Bushnell Tactical 2.5X16.

What would you go with in the sub 800 range? Thanks for any help.

I would agree with SVT, the Weaver is the way to go.
If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

good choice.  There was one on the "used" rack a while back at the gunstore I visit sometimes.  Looked at it and thought... "not bad".  Better than expected optics.

I think Weaver makes better optics now than they ever did.
