Lass's and Lads,
I am trying to narrow down some light hunting optics. Ideally I'd like it to be under 20 oz. low end mag ish 2-3 high end no higher than 15. 1" or 30mm tube don't care
Some background I'm running an AMG and have a Premier 3-15 on my LR guns, but on my Howa 1500 I'm running a 3-9x40 Redfield TAC MOA. I noticed on a few hunts the elevation knob is turning while hiking in / out, and because it doesn't have a zero stop this makes you guess which way zero is... Bummer, good optic for the $ and great glass even with a 1" tube.
So anyways I've been considering the optics ranging in price from the Vortex Viper to the Vortex Razor LH, including some Leupold options. I've been out of the optics game for a while, are there any other ones out there that are light, good glass, durable, and hold a zero? As far as reticles I really don't care, I don't prefer BDC and duplex is fine with me if it has knobs you can adjust w/o a coin. No external turrets unless they lock or have a Z stop
This will be going on my Howa .243 for deer and max range is 400 yards!
Thanks all!
