Hunting scope options

[loganwayne]

Looking for a scope in the 1000-1500 range. 15x, 16x max.
Prefer no illumination
Will be a hunting scope that will have a hunting range of 500 yd max. But will shoot further a couple times a year

Brands I've looked at are below. Am I missing anything I should be looking at? Any that stand out over the others?

Leopold mark 4,
Leopold vx-5hd
Burris veracity
Burris XTR III
Nightforce SHV
Trijicon accupoint
Trijicon Huron
Maven RS 1 or 1.2

Forget the top two, check the bottom 3 the hardest, I would include the credo line, and Swfa 3-15,

I knew I would get the hate for leopold here. But I've got them on several rifles and like them

Well if you have no issue with them, the 3-15 is about perfect… as far as a hunting scope goes, beware the “floating zero”

I really like my Triji Credo 2.5-10x56 for a hunting scope. Clean simple illuminated mil reticle, great glass, not too heavy, can live with SFP @ 10x max.

I like Leopold and I don't even use the top of the line. They have proven hardy and can take abuse. I have used them in Wyoming, Canada and up and down the East coast.

Will probably try a Nightforce in the future. But it's hard to break away from something that works well. Plus I shoot a whole lot.
