So, i snoozed and losed (? lost, but that doesn't rhyme...whatever)
I was really looking forward to getting my paycheck on tuesday (sep 2) from my summer job of cutting brush and trees off a lakeside property, had a nice list of stuff i was gonna get, and right at the top of that list was the Primary Arms 4-14x44 scope that I have been excited about...
https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arm ... ffp308.htm
Bad news, it's out of stock now, and if previous runs of Primary Arms stock has been any indication, I'm at least lookin at a couple month wait...well, i wanna get a scope on my Rem 700 with new chassis and start shooting, so I am lookin for something around the same cost but with comparable (or better) quality...i know, sub-$300 scopes are rarely gonna be up there with my Nightforces, but i don't wanna spend NF or Trijicon money right now...here is another scope that I don't really know anything about...
https://www.primaryarms.com/Vortex_Cros ... -31025.htm
...there are just too many Vortex options for me to find which ones have been recommended or not...i really DO like having the illuminated reticle option, and it's close to the same power...any ideas or experience with these? anyone have the Primary Arms option i was waiting on and think i should just wait? just gimme some input here guys, i'm so damn impatient when it comes to blowing my toy money...thanks

No problem. My Google-fu is pretty strong, I'm glad I could help out.
You would be surprised at how much extra money a person can make over a workplace peer just by knowing how to Google well. It is a priceless skill in the world today

I left one in my shopping cart at Optics Planet overnight a few weeks ago and the next morning they had sent a coupon for $45 off. Yea, I used it.

I have a redfield revolution 4-12 on my rem 700 30.06 and I love it. It costs from $239-$259 depending on where you look.
Re: Back-up plan for scope purchase...
I bought my wife the Primary arms 4-16x illuminated to replace her vortex crossfire 3-9x.
Neither are amazing scopes but for the price they are pretty hard to beat, the primary stuff comes in plain cardboard boxes with really crappy instructions/details about the scope but the product itself is nice.
Nothing wrong with the Vortex, my wife just wanted an illuminated reticle and more magnification so she can shoot tighter groups further out.
Happy wife happy life right?
Plus it justifies me buying gun stuff.
