I've read lots of your questions and reviews, sorry to repeat some of the same in this post.
Looking for your opinions on which of the following scope to purchase. I'll be hunting under a full moon and aiming at coyote.
Burris XTR II 4-20x50 illuminated $977
Nightforce SHV 5-20x56 illuminated $1,299... possibly as low as $1,099
Athlon Cronus 4.5-29×56 illuminated $1,660 found a used one for $800, unsure of actual condition. I've never picked up a Athlon and know very little about it other than what I've read.
Nightforce tube is 30mm while other two are 34mm. I don't have rings for either yet.
I've eliminated most other options as the glass didn't sit well with my eye, or some other factor. I have 15-20 vision, left eye dominate, but was taught to shoot right handed. I see things differently than most because of this. I've never hunted at night before, and I'm a little worried about how it goes as I shoot with both eyes open. My screwed up dominate eye/ RH shot blends the two together and it's hard to explain the magnification I see.
Let me know your suggestions, or if you think I should look at anything else. I've eliminated Trijicon, Leupold, and Vortex. Great scopes, just don't set up for my eyes.
