Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Which 2-10x for 30 min after sunset, simple reticle?

Like the title says. I'm thinking about a scope with 50' FOV on the low end and will turn up to 10x or so. Budget is $500 +/- because that's what I think I can get out of a Weaver Super Slam and Zeiss Conquest I currently have. (Weaver has big turrets and fancy reticle. I really don't like Zeiss Conquest eye relief.)

I have a vortex 2.5-10 x42. I like the heck out of it it tracks great clear as heck and works

I've always had good luck with Nikon, this is a good deal:

The 2X10 Track Toric demo scope can be purchased for 500 when available and they are outstanding. I own S&B, NXS, US Optics, and top end Zeis. In my opinion they ate as good as any of them

For a reliable 2-10 low light scope with a simple reticle I think the Tract Toric with T-plex is very, very good. I used one for ~900 rounds of dialing and it never missed an adjustment. The reticle is simple and bold enough to be seen in low light....the glass is excellent. Cost is $694, so more $, but I think it's worth the extra $194.

First I heard someone doesn't like the Zeiss Conquest eye relief........

Another vote here for the Tract scopes. Some of the best glass I have ever used for the money and the TPlex reticle really stands out in low light, but isnt too thick for normal hunting applications.

What Conquest do you have?

Bushnell Elite 4500 2.5-10x50/Multi-X...

Maybe the MavenRS2 2-10x38? 42’ FOV

I know you are wanting a 2-10 but If you can live with 3-9, the Trijicon Accupower is right at $500 and is an amazing scope.

I have a 3-9x50. Yes I understand people generally like those scopes.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check them out.

You mentioned a Super Slam.Find a used 3-10x40 Grand Slam for $150-$200 and keep the rest of your $500 in your pocket...

I’d go with a z3 with the 4w or plex reticle.

I will echo the recommendation on the Tract Toric 2-10x w/ T-Plex reticle. A bit more money but a really great scope.

swaro Z3 with the 4a

The MeoPro 3.5-10x44 for $650.00 at Cameraland is a good choice. I have one with a German #4.

A great scope with high quality German optics is the Steiner GS3 2-10x42 4a which we have on sale for only $599.99, reduced from $879.99

These go on sale occasionally for under $500
Razor HD LH 2-10x40

Ive seen the Burris Veracity as low as $340 for the 2x10. Super nice scope for that kinda money too.

If you want a super slam 2-10 with the multi-x reticle, there is one on ebay at 450.00.
