50mm budget moa ffp scope w/out tree reticle

[Decker]

Trying to find a scope sub 500$ better if sub 400$ that is ffp and moa in 50mm without a tree reticle. So far I have been in successful. I would really like to find something like my NF moar reticle but on the cheap.

Will be going on a 7mag

Look at Arken.

Vortex has one called the pig hunter with your specs i think. So does burris.

Does it need to hold zero?

Na man, that shit for the weak. I wanna play that guessing game every time I go out.

Legit question. If you don’t mind re-zeroing every time you hit the range it changes the recommendations, and if it needs to stay zeroed our recommendations may require some tweaks to your requirements.

Sounds like you’ve got it all figured out, good luck

Nope, sounded like your were being a smart ass so I gave a smart ass remark.

I know what scopes are the recommended to hold zero. That wasn’t in the criteria for what I was asking. If I needed a rugged reliable scope I will use my rifle with my NF nx8.

This rifle just for range and the typical mid western hunting. Won’t see hard use. I know what to expect in that price range and the bar is not high.

Why the need for a FFP but no tree reticle? I would think a SFP scope would be better/lighter.

Just preference, i like the ffp for wind hold over but i just dial for elevation. Then I just don’t like the clutter.

Why not post in the optics sub forum? You’ll likely get better exposure and advice there.

If helpful, if you don't have a tree reticle or similar, it doesn't really matter if the scope is SFP or FFP. Benefit of the FFP is that your sub-tension marks and holdovers will be the same & accurate regardless of what magnification the scope is on. If it's a simpler reticle, you don't really need FFP.

Completely understand that and how it works, it’s a preference thing. I prefer a ffp over a sfp.

I did end up getting a scope already

It's not my scope but I do have one like it that I have run on several different rifles. It tracks well enough, the glass is decent. It will get you well past legal shooting time if you are hunting with it. The also have a 6-24x50 model if you don't mind the 6 on the low end, I've looked through it side by side with my 44 and can discern no difference at the same magnification. Illuminated reticle is nice as only the center illuminates. My experience with arken as a company is less than stellar but if you are ok with a Chinese scope sold by people with average at best customer service this might be what you are looking for.

Thanks, already pick up a scope. Arken was top my list as I liked there reticle. But couldn’t find any when I was looking.
