best bang for your buck reliable, dialable, hunting scope

[Joshuajosh]

looking to put a scope on my proof elevation 6.5 creedmoor... will be hunting out to 500 yds... budget is around 1k... looking for opinions

SWFA 3-9 or Bushnell LRTS 4.5-18 if you want more X’s.

I’m evaluating a Trijicon Credo 2.5-15 right now, like it a lot so far but they aren’t proven yet.

I liked the looks of the credo.. the specs fit my needs but I too have not heard a lot about them yet

I have the swfa sshd 10x scope on my 6.5. I have no complaints. The glass is really good and I haven't had an issue with it tracking

I'm looking into the 3-15

This is my first fixed power scope. I shot a cow elk at about 415yds this year and I thought 10x was plenty

I am not sure how I feel about fixed power... still seems nice tho

I’m getting tired of dealing with scopes. About to order a NF NXS 2.5-10 and stop $&*#% around. At least at 20oz it’s not ridiculously heavy.

yeah i seriously have been considering that in the milr reticle... just don't have the funds rn... also looking at the shv 3-10

The 3-10 SHV is a nice scope. Wish I would not have sold the one I used to have.

It was the original non-illuminated with Forceplex reticle.

Wish I could find that model

 

[isocyanate]

Bushnell LRHS

But the real correct answer is the NF 2.5-10.
