The first one I'd look to, according to the OP's spec, is the Meopta R2 1.7-10x.42 It is tough, glass takes a back seat to nobody, you can get illuminated reticles if you want to, and you get world class support from Meopta USA.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I tossed an old 3.5-10X Vari-X III on an older FN Supreme 30-06 and went hunting without issue. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/46ObAZL.jpg)

That might be one of the biggest bargains out there for a 30mm and priced more then 1k cheaper then the Swaro model

Just mention you saw it here and while we still have in stock inventory we will honor this crazy price

I recently put a Nightforce SV 3-10x42 with an illuminated Force Plex reticle on my .338 and so far a the range it is very good. I ordered some of the ballistic tape Kenton industries sells in case I want to ever dial yardage. It was under $1,000 bucks from Doug at Camera Land
The scope is barely long enough for Talley rings on a Mod. 70 standard length action. At 100 yards, when you move four clicks, the scope moves one inch. I no longer chase my zero and question my shooting ability because my scope moves like it is supposed to. I may save up and put one on my old Mod. 70 30-06.
I think it weighs right a 20 ounces, if the weight is needed to make the scope perform then I don't mind carrying it.

Well, my gunsmith just called, the 30-06 is finished (Win 70, Douglas stainless barrel, 1-10, 24", McMillan stock) settled on the Leupold 5HD 2-10 x 42mm 30mm maintube. Should be a good scope for this workhorse rifle.

The fixed 4x and the 30-06 have been an ideal pairing pretty much forever.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Can't see why you would want a 30 mm tubed variable on a spot and stalk rifle, it's just way to big. My rifles wear a Leupold fixed power 6x 36mm.
