Rifle Scopes Scope choice? Help me pick me please!!!

[JDJHNTR]

Got my rifle put together and looks like I have about $1000 left for some glass. This rifle is a 7mmmWSM set up for long range hunting out to 1000 yrds.
Here is the 3 I've been looking at and could really use your suggestions before I shell out the rest of my budget.

Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 w/target knobs
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50
Huskemaw Blue Diamond 5-20x50 ( if I can find another for $1000)
Trijicon Accupoint 5-20x50
Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20x50 M1

Anyway......as you can see I'm wanting at least 20x on the high side. As usual I need one that tracks true and there will be a lot of turning going on!
Also if you dont mind, please include which reticle you would choose with the Zeiss if that is your choice.

Thanks everyone, I REALLY do apprecite all your input.

heard alot of good things about the pst. you may also want to consider the swfa ss 5-20x50 its slightly out of the budget but worth a look... the leupold would be nice as well

I can't recommend Vortex PST 6-24x50 more... It is an absofreakinlutely awesome scope!! I am more happy with this scope than I was with my Nightforce.

Give Mike @ CSTactical a shout... He will take good care of you!!

Pick up a used or like new SWFA 5-20x50mm here on the hide. Bet you could find one for just over $1K.

Good advice, I did sell my SWFA 5-20 though and picked up a Bushnell 3-21 HDMR with the Bushnell G2DMR reticle and couldn't be happier. I much prefer the G2DMR reticle to the SWFA diamond mil dots. The Bushnell is worth checking out as well, but SWFA 5-20 is a sweet scope. I also had a Vortex PST 6-24, it was okay felt kinda cheap to me compared to the aforementioned scopes.

Another +1 for the SWFA 5-20x. The non-illuminated usually go for around $1050 NIB on this forum.

I am swapping around scopes for a new build and am going with a new PST on my 308. my NF is going to find a home on my new .260

Of the ones you listed I'd choose the pst.

I can't speak about the zeiss or huskemaw.

I have a mk4 4.5-14 which is great but if I could do that over again I'd get matching reticle/turrets.

The pst does everything I want it too and more. Especially for the price paid. I just got back from the 1k yd range and it was awesome. I think in this price range it's the best option. I'll be buying a second one soon for another building just finished.

I have an accupoint 3-9 which is great. No matching reticle and turrets but it's got great glass and is light for an illuminated scope. I use this on my hunting rifle. The problem I see with the 5-20 is the limited elevation adjustment.
