Rifle Scopes best TRACKING scope under $1000

[rtc111@aol.com]

Yes another one of these, I dont care about the glass or looks, i want a 50mm scope that can track as the day is long!

Im getting a custom 300 WM 700 back, and i dont want to sell it but don't really want to spend 1.5-3K on optics for it. Yes it will be used for long range shooting, so i want target/tactical turrets with parralax.

I was thinking either a leupold VX3 target (hows tracking?), or a ziess

oh and i want it to be under 25Oz

Vortex viper pst

 

[Broknbonz]

Vortex. shop around and you can get a razor for $15-1700

spot on tracking, awesome glass, mil/mil, FFP, no question warranty

Sightron S3. I have a 3.5-10x44 and the exacttrac system they have is the real deal.

 

[Gary223]

Sightron s3 without a doubt mine tracks faultlessly, glass is very good.
Here in the uk a 8-32x56 comes in at £880
Or the 6-24x50 comes in around £790

Value for money is second to none.

Again for the Sightron S-III...Mine is the 8-32X56 with the LRMOA reticle sitting on a 300RUM. AMAZING scope for the $.

 

[myownman]

Yep!! Sightron SIII.. Mine is 8x32x56.

Thats what I got, it does track very well. Under 900 bucks.

 

[JGorski]

OK, the Sightron is 26.5 OZ, so whats 1.5oz?

 

[casey estep]

I have a 6-24X50 SIII. Been to 1600 and back no problem. The glass I feel is right there NF. For under 900 I don't think you can beet it. If the coin is available NF is a nicer scope.

 

[sobrbiker883]

SWFA SS16X, and money for components. Only scope under a grand I'd bother with.

 

[leadbullet]

sightron SIII for variable, I have 2 of them and tracking/box test is dead on on my Fclass rifles. Glass quality and price are both excellent

 

[GSRswapandslow]

if you buy your Sightron from Big Supply Shop.........you'll pay less than $800 ;-)

i have 3 Sightrons right now... 2x 8-32 MOA/MOA, 1x 8-32 MOA-2, and 1 3.5-10x44 (non-illuminated)...all are FANTASTIC and have glass easily equal to that of night force

Sightron S3

 

[Jedi]

Sightron best bang for ya $$

amazing glass and spot on tracking

 

[libertyman777]

IOR 2.5-10x42. There was one on the classifieds for $650. You may get lucky and find a USO ST-10 for a grand on the classifieds as well.

 

[338LM]

I know a number of people that shoot long range and extended long range distances with Sightron scopes. They all are very impressed with how well these scopes track.

 

[jdgray]

Never had an issue with any of my Leupys tracking true, or not returning to zero. My Latest is a Mark4 4.5-14x40 LR/T, great scope for way less then a K...

 

[XTREM HTR16]

How does the VX-6 2-12x42 compare? It's under $900.

 

[Bruno]

One more vote for SIII. My 6-24 has always tracked excellent.

 

[hk401]

buy Zeiss Conquest HD5( the HD glass is beautiful, tracking is great), this scope HD is new for 2013 and I like stuff made in Germany.

 

[AutoEssentials]

I would vote for the Vortex PST. For a little more, you can get a Bushnell.

How much did you spend on your custom rifle? That should tell you what to spend on a scope.

 

[tman300wm]

Bushnell 3-12 FFP Mil/Mil or any of the Super Sniper scopes. All are a very good value well under $1000.00, and I have never had a problem with them for tracking or anything else for that matter.

 

[ArmyJerry]

I have the Sightron S3, Viper PST and Bushy ET (6x24-25 ffp), I would give the edge to the Bushy, with the other two a hair behind, a thin hair. I looked through a NF and a few other high end scopes and I have a hard time justifying the jump in value vs the cost diff.

 

[gherea]

A little pricey but IMHO Definately the best scope for your application under $1000 Zeiss 4.5-14X44 Conquest with Target Knobs and Mil dot reticle to range.

Just a heads up, my VX3 tracks in IPHY, despite being labeled MOA. The clicks are very consistent, just not in the units advertised :/

 

[Kruger21]

Sightron SIII 6-24 FFP has surprised me with its Bang for $$

 

[slothlacrosse]

+1 Sightron.

 

[Thumper580]

+3 on Sightron scopes. Track perfectly.
