I am going to head out tomorrow in a attempt to pick up a new scope that wasn’t planned. This is my backup rifle and I’ve killed the scope that had been zeroed and ready to rock.
I have a few choices picked out but wanted to see if I could get my list in order or add any suggestions.
Looking for something in the 2-10/12x mag range but prefer to keep the objective in the 40mm range. $500-900ish budget 1in or 30mm is fine I have rings already for either. For this rifle I’m not that concerned about the reticle or capped vs uncapped turrets. MOA SFP is fine since max range would be 400 yards and that’s would be unusual. 6.5C so plenty flat shooting and 125-200 would be normal shots.
No China don’t care will not buy so no Athlon
Here are a few that peaked my interest on the short list.
Trijicon Huron or Accent 2-12 $500ish
These are Japanese and have a really attractive price. I’ve heard the eye relief is GTG but online it seems to be a question mark due to advertising. That’s a great price only negative on paper is it’s a bit heavy for a light weight rifle.
Leupold 2-10 VX-5 HD $899 I believe at that price the duplex reticle. I am probably the most comfortable with this one if I had to order online sight unseen.
Swarovski z3 3-10x $799 if I can find one in stock. I haven’t looked through a z3 that’s newer but their reputation seems to warrant it in the list.
????? Any others you all want to add or possibly eliminate? I am hoping to find one tomorrow so I can get it mounted and zeroed this weekend. Local purchase should not be a issue with PSA, Cabelas, Sportsman warehouse and a couple good locals around.
