Dave, in reading through it looks like he added that later in the thread, after your response. My bad. Roger that. I wondered if perhaps I'd missed something. Dave
If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.

Nightforce SHV 3-10x42 and never have to think about your scope again.
Dave He said generous eye relief... In my opinion, 4" should be the minimum these days, so the nightforce doesn't even meet that... He didn't mention whether he does much hiking or is concerned about weight but Nightforces also tend to be boat anchors weight wise. They also don't fall in the budget he added.

You focused on the “generous eye relief” part of his request. I focused on the “track well and hold zero” part. Though nice, a scope doesn’t need a full 4” of eye relief to be functional…especially in the chambering(s) he mentioned. The 3.5” of the SHV is plenty on that front, and that’s not a guess. A scope does need to track well and hold zero to fulfill its primary purpose though. Nightforce scopes do that. As for the weight issue,….I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on whether or not 22 ounces constitutes a “boat anchor”. Dave

Dave I guess it depends on which rifle he goes with and the length of the scope tube. Eye relief could be a concern with the T3X if he opts for talley lightweights or similar as the spacing doesn't leave a lot of room to adjust scope for eye relief with shorter scopes. If he opts for a rail and rings then it may not be an issue. I know on my T3, I tried 3 scopes before I found one with enough eye relief to set properly in the spacing with talley lightweights, I needed minimum 3.75", the first couple scopes were around the 3.5" and could not make them work.

VX-3HD 3.5-10 with the illuminated reticle can be had for $450.
If you are in dark timber or low light, the illuminated reticle will be more beneficial than a larger objective or maintube diameter.
