With a ~$3000 budget, what optic would you be looking at?

The tube-style is definitely more user friendly in mounting, at least IMO.

With a 3k budget, the Adder, IRay Bolt & Pulsar Thermion 2 XQ35 PRO 2.5-10x are all great choices.

For your 80-125 yard purpose, the decision (for me) would be based around getting the lowest base magnification.

Just mounted that same Pulsar on a rifle for my brother a few weeks ago.

It's more akin to a traditional scope setup as far as the mounting and handling, etc. It sighted in fine, and works, but I wouldn't trade my Super Hogster for it.
