I am looking for a good scope, around 10x max. Do not want critical eye relief. Also budget is below $300. Suggestions anyone? It looks like Nikon has some good options...?
Look into the Vortex line up.
SWFA super sniper classic, in MQ configuration. Can be had in either 6x or 10x and is the most scope for your stated expenditure.
You've got the budget according to your original post for a Diamondback HP 2-8x, I'd get thatI am really liking the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32. Link. New question....
When selecting scope rings for the optic, is there a general rule for a height of the rings?
This right here!AA Optics, Alan, is GREAT !!!!!

However, I am beginning to think that a lot of people view Vortex like some view CZ pistols. They are drinking the Koolaid
Most people don't shoot enough, under a wide enough variety of conditions, to discern good gear from bad. Doubly so for scopes, because the bulk of them are handled with kid gloves and their turrets never moved once zeroed. Hence the distance that brand syncophancy can carry a name.
I wouldn't suffer a vortex on a cricket, but I've used a wide enough variety of riflescopes to know better.
I personally have owned Nightforce nxs, Leupold, Nikon, Vortex and really want a USO t-pal - for cost,weight, durability,accuracy and warranty hard to beat a Vortex - sure there is better but youll pay twice that of a Vortex for anything really comparableMost people don't shoot enough, under a wide enough variety of conditions, to discern good gear from bad.
