Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

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

I am going to purchase a dedicated deer rifle. Either a Tikka T3x or a Kimber Hunter 6.5CM, 7mm-08, or 308. I will not shoot beyond 300 yards. I prefer a Duplex reticle. 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.

Yes to low light conditions as I primarily hunt in the woods but I do hunt some power lines. Mostly stand hunting but some still hunting. I am not overly concerned with weight. Would like to spend $500 or less.
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.

Dave 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.

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:)

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