With the new stuff out today I can't make any suggestions except for the lesson in this story....
I scoped a .243 about 20 years ago with a drop compensator Redfeild scope. It cost around $150 if I remember right; a lot of money back then. I sighted it in at the range with no problems. But, in the feild I couldn't hit anything. I was so discouraged with this "fancy" scope that I chunked it and put a $30 Busnell on it and have not missed since. After being put away for the last 15 years, I loaned the rifle to a co-workers son this year. He put his first deer on the ground with one shot. Long story short, I would not try to get too fancy if I were doing it again.
