Favorite optic

with a budget of $700 what is everyone’s favorite scope? Western hunting.

Accupoint, credo at or below $700
Add $300ish and grab a Leica Amplus 6

The new Swfa 3-15 looks to be a contender along with trijicon credos/ accupoints/ Hurons… ect.

where the hell are you finding the credo below $700?

3-9x40 is sub 700, might be able to get a 2.5-10x50 for that as well the 4-16 or 2.5-15 is over his budget try Eurooptic.com

3-9x40 is sub 700, might be able to get a 2.5-10x50 for that as well the 4-16 or 2.5-15 is over his budget try Eurooptic.com

so basically just the 3-9 variant everything else is $1000+

Many 3-9x40 Credo under $600. Can find 50mm for 700 if you keep an eye out for sales

Yes, Huron, and ascent are in budget though

Hard to beat a Swfa 3-15 gen 2 at that price honestly.

I’d say Swfa 3-9 or 6x, of which I have one and two of respectively, but they aren’t readily available unless you hound the classifieds.

You didn’t say if you care about scope characteristics or weight (FFP, mils etc) so I made the assumption you wanted FFP mil reticle scope that is reliable. Narrows the list significantly.

I've really liked my Meopta Optika 6 scopes. Great glass and build quality for the money. I was able to pick up my 2.5-15x44 for well under $700. Meopta scope seem to be a bit hard to find in stock right now, though.
