Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters JB Scope Recommendation

John I am looking for what I would call a perfect scope for pig hunting. I would prefer a simple plex reticule with a lighted dot in the center. No mil-plex. No hash marks as I prefer to keep the field of view neat and clean. I would like a 50 mm objective for light gathering and a fixed power of 6x. Do you have any recommendations that would be at or near what I desire? I’ll be mounting this on a Remington Model 7 that I have barreled/ chambered in 358 Winchester. Thanks John

I'm not JB, but being a fan of 6x scopes scopes for much of my hunting and shooting I'm always looking at/for them. I'm not aware of a 6x50 with illuminated reticle on the market. I could certainly be unaware of one so I'll be watching to see what's posted.

I've not used the following, but it might be one worth considering if you're willing to consider 7.5x on the magnification. I've not used a GPO so I can't speak to their reliability or user characteristics:

Another to consider if you are willing to go to 8x and bump the objective to 56 is the S&B Klassic 8x56 with illuminated reticle. I use one and I like it a lot:

Rolly,

JMCUBIC is correct, there aren't many (if any) new scopes with the specifications you describe.

I would do a search for a 3-9x50 with a center illuminated dot, then set it on 6x leave it there.
