The TAC 30 was the right mix of desirable range, price point, natural feel, and I really love the reticle and illumination. I went to Cabelas and probably pissed them off hahaha. I spent several hours looking at a variety of optics, and i think thats a great way to go. You can feel weight, check out eye relief, get a good feel for it, see the speed or lack of, and compare reticles. Worth a few hours to get an optic you will love IMO. I am happy and comfortable with the 1-4x mag, but most people would want more and that is understandable and valid.
Good luck with them hogs, they are tasty! I lived in OK for 3 years. I miss my meers burgers and the booze/blues at the biting sow in OKcity. And catfish!
