I am considering this scope: Swaro: Z5 3.5-18x44 P L or a Leica ER 2.5-10x42 Reticle TT IBS Rifle Scope? or Leupold or Zeiss?

Ideally, I have a Leica HD rangefinder binos so if you have any experience with pairing a Leica scope, great.

Use: Big game hunting, mainly Coues and Mule Deer out to 500 yards;spot and stalk. Range practice on gongs out to 700 yards. Given the broken terrain that I hunt, best if I can just use a ranging reticle and not have to dial/crank in.

Criteria:
  • Under $2,000 and can use standard scope mounts. To go on a Model 70
  • Under 20 ounces.
  • Use a ballistic ranging reticle BRX or BRH or some form of dots or hash marks. Quick target acquisition
  • Matches to custom cartridge ballistics (optional)
  • Not greater than 50mm; preferably 42-44mm
  • no lower than 2x starting and no higher than 4x starting
  • no higher than 18x and can be as low as 10x (if really good glass)


Ideas?
