Does any manufacturer produce a rifle scope that can compete with the Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10X40 for light weight, and optical clarity at a similar or lower price? I don't need/want ballistics adjustable turrets for long range, etc. Just simple, reliable, set and forget and great hunting level optical quality. If you're a Leupold hater please skip this.
That's probably a solid choice for a set and forget scope. I've also had a couple Burris Fullfield II scopes that that have given me zero issues after extended use. My 3-9 probably has well over 1000 shots on very light weight 338 Federals and a 338-06. I've never intentionally tested it to see what might make it lose zero, but in normal use its been reliable.
I paid $650 for a Trijicon Accupoint 3-9, but the battery-powered 1” Credo 3-9 is about $575 on Amazon. I’m very impressed with the quality and packaging of both the Trijicons I bought. There may be similar unlit models for less; haven’t looked.
11 layer fully multi-coated optics for excellent clarity Adjustable objective for parallax correction (AO models) 1 inch mono-tube chassis for superior strength ¼ MOA low profile ‘no-snag’ fingertip turrets Fast focus eyebell and high torque zoom ring Threaded objective/ocular for optional accessories Waterproof, Shockproof, Nitrogen purged. All calibre rated.
To blatantly eschew the very fhuqking things a riflescope SHOULD do,is an odd shopping requirement. 'Scopes steer boolits and are not observation devices,if only obviously. Given that simplistic fact,mechanics matter just a bit more than a "smidge". Hint.
Conjoining schit mechanics,with a schit reticle and SFP,along with the erector and reticle speaking different languages,assuredly do not bolster "merit". It's never been difficult to tell who shoots things,other than their mouths and Imagination. Burris is a fhuqking joke,few things are funnier than Reupold,Hawke is HILARIOUS. Trijicon has lost their way and easily outpaced on all avenues. Hint.
It is rather easy to connect dots by litera default,though I admittedly enjoy the excuses and how "REAL" Imagination and Pretend are to Window Lickers. Hint.
Just sayin'.................

What scope do you typically put on a short to medium range hunting rifle? I edited my post after reading your reply. I meant ballistic compensation turrets, not necessary where I hunt.
I shoot mechanically sound glass on everything and have a marked Base Ten preference,as it is intuitive like NO other. Everything from Feinwerkbau 300S,the best Rimfires on the fhuqking Planet,to ALL things Centerfire. Mainly,because NOTHING matters more than mechanics and without the sanctity of same,you literally have fhuqking NOTHING. Hint.
BDC's are a joke and CDS the pinnacle of fhuqking Hilarity. All the scopes cited thus far,do in fact have turrets and it routinely humors me,that some are quick to find that constant a dirty word. Rather then make asinine excuses for why things won't/can't work,it is prudent to simply procure those that will,if only by literal design. When mechanically sound erectors jive with etched reticles,mechanical fortitude is the default. Couple same with a lick of sense and all of these schit scopes you are trying to talk about,would simply die on the vine,because they are simply Dog Schit mechanically. folks will happily sell you that schit,but it ain't very fhuqking fair to the Consumer. Hint.
It is no thang to arrange rugged reliability on an optical device that steers boolits and one would have to be amongst THE Dumbest Of Fhuqks not to. Mechanics matter. Hint.
1000 Words.
1000 more.
Beings you are going to be looking through the fhuqking thing anyhow,you may as well have mechanics more than a touch in your favor,while fielding a reticle that will alone and by itself do more than every piece of fhuqking schit thus far cited,bolted together in unison. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint.
If only again,mechanics matter more than everything else and it never ceases to amaze me,how many are unable to connect a single dot.

Oh Phuq. Another Big Stick diatribe on why every rifle needs a Super Sniper stuck on the top of it.
There are guys on this board who hunt heavy timber, and couldn’t find a place to take a plus-300 yard shot if you paid them a million dollars.
Telling everyone they need a “turret twister” is as stupid as telling a 19 year-old coed she needs an F350 to get back and forth to class, just because YOU think everyone ought to be able to drag a fifth wheel around.
There is a place for “set and forget” scopes, just like there’s a place for fixed sights on handguns.
Go stick your phuquing rifle (and your fat phuquing head) in the river, and let some folks talk about some schidt that transcends your “look at my spray painted gun collection” diatribes...
Mother phuqqer would put pin sights and tape on a Black Widow recurve....
EdM gave the correct answer. Put an FFII on it, sight it in, and kill schidt for the next 20 years....
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Your CLUELESSNESS,is fhuqking hilarious...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?
You be SURE,to make the Excuses requisite,to satiate your Do Nothing Dumbfhuqktitude. I rather enjoy that your Crying Karen routine is assuredly no fhuqking "Act" and that you are doing the best you can,with your Hurt Feelers and incredibly WELL founded rampant Insecurities. I enjoy that you "think" your Stupidity is an "Excuse",rather than the Plight it is. Gals who "know" and "do" as "much" as you,will always be best served by asking questions,rather than giving "answers". Read that again. Now one more time. Hint. LAUGHING!
It will only come as a "surprise" to someone as fhuqking STUPID as you,that mechanics matter and boolit steering device that won't,track or repeat,sure as fhuqk will NOTt hold zero either. Mainly because they can't. Hint. Laughing!
Bitchin' Hissy Fit,you Magnificent Whining CLUELESS Kchunt. Perhaps make a sign?
Hint.
LAUGHING!.................

The entry level GPO Passion 3-9x42 is a "simple, reliable, set and forget" scope with "great hunting level optical quality." Doug at Cameraland recommended it when I presented him with the same criteria. It now rests on one of my nephew's daughter's deer rifle.
Fortunately for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so you can "afford" to Google a "contribution"...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?
Pardon wares that exist,as you "get" to read about it and gawk the Splendid Pixels,while you "shoot" your mouth and Imagination. Hint. LAUGHING!
Bless your heart for doing your best though!
Hint.
LAUGHING!...............
Jeezus Fhuqk,SERIOUS Humor Points awarded for the GPO SFP BDC Goat Fhuqk and folks dumb enough to "believe" that schit!!!
Hint.
Fhuqking LAUGHING!
Wow +P++!................
