6.5 rpm backcountry 2.0 scope debate

[Bphips5]

I thought I wanted a razor LHT for this gun to keep the weight lite. After extensive reading on here that thought has flown out the window. Now im looking at a few options. Looking for pros, cons and regrets for the following options from first hand experiences.

1. Trijicon credo HX 2.5-15x42 SFP w/ Red MOA Center Dot, 30mm

2. ZEISS Conquest V4 Rifle Scope with Exposed Elevation and Capped Windage Turrets 4-16x 50 zmoai

3. TORIC UHD 30MM 2.5-15X44 FFP ILLUMINATED MOA EAGLEMAN LONG RANGE HUNTING RIFLE SCOPE

4.Nightforce Optics SHV F1 Rifle Scope 4x-14x 50mm MOAR F1

The entire reticle lighting up is tolerable.
Eye box may be a little finicky at 15x but not a real breaker.
Really not a bad scope.

I’m going to shoot it more this summer and hunt with it this fall. We’ll see how it goes.

If the dot and the 1 MOA hash in all 4 directions is all that lit up, I’d have more than one.

I really appreciate the Insight. I was thinking that myself while checking out the reticle

I am a big fan of the Credo. Probably going to order my 3rd here soon.

I just put a 2.5-15x42 Credo with mil turret and reticle on top of my 6.5 PRC. I think it will be perfect for my elk rifle.

IMHO the Tract is the best in your list. Not a lightweight scope but awesome all around.

I have zero experience with anything Tract but have heard positive things so I might have to try one out for myself.

If you are a VET or first responder they give good discounts as well. Great glass and they track.

I guess the Credo since we are happy with Trijicon Tenmile HX on both our Backcountry 2.0's.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m seeing a lot of love for the credo. I’m definitely leaning that way.

For a lightweight set and forget scope, it’s hard to go wrong with the Trijicon AccuPoint 3-9x40. I also liked the 4–16x I handled. If you aren’t interested in SWFA, then I recommend Trijicon.

Im not fond of the SWFA Moa Christmas tree reticle. To much clutter for me for hunting.

Isn't the Tract the one that's made with the same general specs as the Maven RS1.2?

I have the credo 2.5-15x42 mil on my 6.5 prc and it is a great match for that rifle. Has proven to be very reliable and accurate when dialing. I also have the razor lht 3-15 on a 280ai and its been great so far but I keep a close eye on it and kind if baby it due to the reviews on here. Optically its a bit better than the credo.

I can’t help it if you insist on using MOA.

I just figured that out can’t swap to mil. As a northeast whitetail guy. It didnt require over 100 yards until I started dabbling with mule deer. One step at a time.

Hmmm. Part of me wondered if the LHT was a viable option knowing that I typically carry a backup gun when traveling. So worst case scenario on the dreaded drop. I could just swap. But that doesn’t help if I encounter what I’m looking for between drop and the truck.
