Hey guys, wondering if anyone with experience with these particular scopes can chime in. I'm interested in others but my criteria is pretty limiting.
This is my first hunting rifle. I'll be hunting Elk next year in Colorado. Shots from 100-500 from blinds, but I'll take longer shots if they are available and conditions are right.
Going on top of a Springfield Armory 2020 Waypoint 7PRC
Criteria
- Highest quality glass
- Lightweight - would prefer to keep it around 20oz but will go slightly over for the right scope.
- Illuminated SPF duplex reticle ONLY - no elevation or windage marks
- Must have Parallax adjustment
- Must have exposed locking elevation turret and zero stop
- 2x-4x on the low end
- At least 12x on the high end
Would like to keep it under $2k but willing to go to $3k+ if it's reallllly worth it
