Scope Specs Table: Under $500 | 6-24x / 5-30x / 4-20x | 10y-Side Parallax | Exposed Turrets | Holdoff ReticleI was looking for a scope for around $500, maybe a bit more, and I was simply overwhelmed by all the options....
Scribbling down notes about this scope and that scope, this feature and that, it got really confusing, because a scope can have so many variables! And for every shooting scenario different features are more important than others. And every shooter has their own personal preferences. It's fascinating!
Anyhow, I ended up choosing a more organized approach, a Scope Specs Table where I noted the features and specs that were important to me.
Now I had a tool to make quick comparisons between scopes, and figure out what tradeoffs I was willing to make in order to get as close to "perfect tool for the job" as $500 allow.
There are over 70 scopes that fulfill the requirements described above.
Maybe there're some others for who this Scope Specs Table could be helpful. It's attached as PDF.
Happy scope shopping!
