What is the platform for the scope? Lever
What cartridge are you shooting? 45-70 Gov
What is your intended use for the scope? Hunting and target
What type of conditions will you typically shoot in? Daylight, limited lowlight
What are the typical distances you intend to shoot? 300 yards
Are there any specific specifications you would like...
Required: 1-6x, FFP, mil-mil, red illumination
Want: zero stop, .1 mil click value
What is the price range you can afford? MSRP <$2k
The above info is based on the primary usage. There could be secondary, uncommon usage on a 223 Rem AR-15, but that's not really how I'm shopping.
I understand there are those that 1) disagree with a scope on a 45-70 and 2) disagree with FFP in a LPVO. I also understand .1 mil click value is silly for a 45-70 and given I won't dial much. Yes, the above feature set *really* limits the pool of contenders. I believe I've found them all. I'm hoping you folks will bring to light something that maybe I haven't yet uncovered. At the point the top contender is the Steiner T6Xi 1-6x24 (#5103). It matches everything including zero stop and .1 clicks and can be had for several hundred below my MSRP cap.
Thanks for your time.
