Its coming down to this, if its not a fast instant full view then I'm not much interested. Definitely always thought the 6X Leupolds were easy.

Just returned from looking through several moderately priced offerings and the Redfield Revolution 2-7x33 was right there - near perfect infact. Looking for lighter weight scope for set it & forget it MPBR use.

Any other stand outs?

Redfield Revolution 3-9x40 or Weaver Classic V9...they are both "just there" for me.

ELITE 3200 or 4200 in 3x9, some will say leupolds for me they aren't as fast as those 2 elites. oh one last thing on edit. most guys want a scope that is mounted as low as they can get it. let me suggest this might not be the best and fastest way to get behind a scope. I prefer my scopes mounted a bit higher than most guys because I pick up the scope better that way. may or may not work for you it might be worth a try to expiriment on what works for you.

The fastest that I currently have mounted is a Viper PST. After that, I agree that my 4200's and 3200's are very quick along with my Conquests.

Though it is not currently mounted, I suspect my TV screen Redfield 3-9 would compare favorably. That scope was very quick to get behind.

My worst are my Minox ZA5's. I don't have as much problem with them as some seem to but it is quite noticeable when switching between other scopes. The HD versions are said to be much better.

rovert, A 1-4 PST? What reticle? I peered through a couple of those recently and also a lit Crossfire 1-4 which looked great for the coinage.

-----------------------------------------------------------
For a particular application I'm limited to 1" scopes and will have a MPBR right at 300. Considering the VX2 with Dots and/or CDS as well. As much as 4x and 6x fixed are liked, I do want lower power when in the brush, eg for 30 feet, not yards. Have not ruled out the 6x36, just leaning lower... This will be for a purdy walnut, matte blue finish, CRF rifle in a classic Western BG chambering. Am somewhat pissed at Leupold and wouldn't mind a Japan or Europe import, but an Oregon Made scope would be a good fit on this project.

Seem to be pretty much same-o same-o...and sells for the same price, as is made by the same people...sooool it boils down to what name you want on your scope wink

Not a fan of the Accu-range....and you will smoke a soggy turd in hell for that .270 remark.



I fart in your general direction!

Odd you mentioned that one. Im a Burris fan but I bought one of their 2x7s and got rid of it immediately as I thought the eye relief sucked so bad. That said though I have other 'issues' with Burris that I blame on my coke bottle glasses,and not the scopes themselves...

Never had one single eye relief issue with a 2-7, 3-9, or 3.5-10 Leupold or the lower tier Revolution versions. I agree that they are very eye friendly. If I don't have much cash for a hunting scope, a used Revolution is what I look for, but I do like the Accu-Range.

The older conquest 3-9s were as good as Leupold's eyebox for me. Damn good scopes.

You might check to see if you have cataracts. My right eye had a coke bottle bottom lens. Now it is 20/20 after the surgery.

Looks like the ol' standbys:

Redfield 2-7x33
Leupold VX1 and VX2 2-7x33
Leupold 4x33, 6x36, and 6x42
Bushnell Elite 3200 and 4200
Zeiss Conquests 3-9x40
I'll add the harder to find Zeiss 1.8-5.5
and I have a few other 4x scopes that seem ok but are unproven

Anything else?

You realize that they often correct vision problems unrelated to the cataract when they do the cataract surgery right? My father wore glasses for near sightedness since age 8. When he had has cataract surgery at age 72 they corrected his vision to 20/20 - doesn't mean the cataracts were causing the near sightedness.

In addition to the 6x Leupolds

I'd add the 2.5x compact/ultralight, whatever they're calling it now. Very quick.

Yes, 1-4 PST with the TMCQ reticle. I've been very impressed by it.

I was scoping a similar rifle to what you describe. I was originally planning on an FX3. I then decided I wanted a variable. I put a Conquest on it for a while. I was thinking VX6 then decided it would look a little out of place. I ended up going with a Z3 which I'm very pleased with. I wouldn't say its eyebox is quite as forgiving as my Elites and Conquests but it is close. It's right there with my 6x42 Leupold.
