The more I shoot with my lrhs2, the more I like it.

I own all of the SWFAs mentioned herein and the Bushnells. In my opinion, you would be hard pressed to do better than a Bushnell LRHS or LRTS. I like and use the SWFAs and Bushnells; but, if I were searching for that "just one" for your identified purposes, it would be the LRHS/LRTS. Yep. I'd look for a used LRTSi 3-12x. The reticle is bold enough to be useful at mid-power and 12x is enough for 500yds. I'm glad I got one when they were being made. ^^^^ This John Belated concurrence. An excellent scope for the purpose at hand.

LOL. still good advice As most have said skip the First Focal Plane reticles. Keep the top end mag below 20X and 15X is a sweet spot. The Leupold 3-15x44 with a wind plex and CDS checks all the boxs includinge price point while delivering best in class performance. But what do I know about killin elk?  Same scope I have on a couple of my hunting rigs. Good friend used it for elk this year. His longest shot was beyond 500 yards, but the scope works great. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/zPDbkZcl.jpg)

I've found this scope to be the best compromise: Leupold VX-5HD Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 3-15x 44mm CDS-ZL2 Side Focus Matte

I put a little Bushnell Sportview 4 X on my 10/22 back in 1990. Maybe sighted it in five times since. Excellent little scope. I wonder if they still make it.

My favorite scope for this application is the simpleton VX3 3.5-10x40, standard duplex, with the custom shop M1 elevation.
I have it on 3 rifles and don't find it lacking.
Truth be told, I haven't looked at other offerings.
I just wish the custom shop would open back up. I'd send in a couple more.

I recommend a Sightron SIII 8-32x 56mm. Great clarity, repeatable turrets, and extraordinary value. You will use the added magnification, trust me. I own 4 of these as well as 3 SV 10-59x 60mm. Sightron scopes are too botch and kick ass over a Night Force, Vortex, or even Schmidt & Bender.
