Vortex Optics. They’ll have something to match your requirements. They’re price, warranty, and customer service, are great.

I want a scope that will track well when sighting it in and then hold zero. I want a generous amount of eye relief. I would be fine with a fixed power scope or a variable. What scope fills this need?


Tract 2X10 or 3X15 is your Huckleberry

As jwp says......my Tract Toric has been great over the past 5 years or so.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

You need about 5 more dedicated deer rifles so you can get 6 different scopes.

I have no business looking at scopes but I find the Tract and the GPO teams interesting..

I think GPO are ex zeiss guys and Tract are ex nikon guys.

You can buy direct from each outfit.

$25 over your price point but a very good scope.

Those scopes selling for $500 bucks these days?

Something along 2-10 , 2.5-10, 3.5-10 is all you need for 300 yards and less.
You don’t need 12 or 15 power at 300 yards. Don’t get me wrong, I love having good zoom at the range.
But as a hunting rig I’d beMore concerned about wide field of view in the thick stuff. Rather ram the max zoom
Plus you’re getting a light weight rifle, no sense in getting a small Hubble to weigh it down.

At 600 yards my vx2 3-9 on the old 270, the cross hair pretty much covers up 8” gong and I still hit it consistently.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

yep

I agree, and I’ll buy every one you guys can show me under 5 bills - after the OP buys his, of course. 😉

Zeiss conquest 3-9 would work nicely, and can be had for $300-$400.

A Zeiss Conquest 3-9 world work or I could live with a 4X Conquest

I gotta give a little love for the Trijicon Accupoint. My personal pref. is the green dot. I found my 4-16X50 Accupoint for $500 new in box a few years ago at a LGS had my BIL and a good friend pick up a couple more for me. Was a limit of 1 per customer:)

I don't see a $500 limit on his original post. Is that an arbitrary figure, or did I miss something?

Dave, in reading through it looks like he added that later in the thread, after your response. My bad.
