Welcome Julian! Saw you stopped by a few threads and made some great contributions already! Your looking to be a great addition, very glad you joined.
Here is an African Monarch. http://www.midwayusa.com/Product/95...-rifle-scope-1-4x-20mm-german-4-reticle-matte Low cost, looks like a great scope for the money, lots of eye relief and field of view! Now if it just had an illuminated recital it might be near perfect for that 404....
However you mentioned possibly going to a red dot.. why not get the best of both Worlds and go to a scope with illuminated recital? Mid range there is the Zeiss Duralite, Leupold VXR 1-4 and many others and even a VX3 1.5-5 illuminated, and have not tried one but even the new Weaver Grand Slam.
Go up just a tad and get into a Leupold VX6 1-6 firedot 4 (try to look through one before you buy!) I think it comes comes close enough to a Z6i 1-6 for almost 1/3rd the money. And look into a Trijicon 1-4 (all 3 of these are 30mm tubes)

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?
I am possibly going to book with him soon.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
