I kinda hate my scope...

[Jpsmith1]

A few years back, i decided to build my "dream rifle" without laying out massive dollars like some of y'all do. If I shoot one deer a year, I count myself pretty lucky.

So, I lurked Gunbroker for months and found a lefty Rem 700 in 7 Mag. Popped a Triggertech in and started the search for a scope...

I don't want some wanna-be sniper scope. I'm not gonna be shooting past 500 and I'm worried about turrets getting twisted while I'm moving. I wanted good optics, well, BETTER optics. I didn't have Swaro budget and I really still don't.

I settled on the Burris Veracity MAD scope in 3-15

Veracity™ 3-15x50mm | Burris Optics

and I simply hate this optic. The FFP reticle can just crawl in a hole and die. The focus is awkward and I just can't get comfortable with it.

Is there a SFP scope with a fairly basic reticle, no giant 'Christmas tree" looking thing, no giant exposed knobs, either covered knobs or ones that lock securely that costs less than a grand?

30mm tube would be awesome but new rings are whatever in terms of cost.

Maven 1.2 might be right up your alley. But just a hair past your budget.

I was a little skeptical of Maven when I was scope shopping. Had my hands on one of their rangefinder and their binos and I might reconsider.

Sell the Burris and that CRS1 looks EXACTLY what I want. A BASIC scope of reasonable quality.

That’s a FFP.

Check out the razor LHT.

Lightweight
Good reticle
Great glass
Illuminated

I have the lht and can confirm it's a good scope, very light. Reticle is good. My only gripe is the mag knob is very very difficult to turn.

Trijicon accupoint. Either 3-9 or 3-12.
Or the credo hx 2.5-15.

 

[Turkeygetpwnd38]

There are several SFP accupoints and credos that check those boxes

I have a NXS 5.5-22 in SFP Mil/Mil that I need to list, maybe a larger scope than you are looking for, simple reticle, bomb proof scope. Pretty much mint, I’ve transitioned to FFP scopes.

I’m not sure what bullet you’re shooting, but for my 7 mag and 160 gr Acccubonds I’m somewhat interested in trying a scope with a simple holdover reticle. Maven 2.5x10 SHR reticle has tics at 5 MOA and 10 MOA. I zero at 300, so that puts 400 yard hold halfway between center and first tic, and 500 yards is dead on the 5 MOA tic. Even 600 yards is conveniently halfway between 5 MOA and 10 MOA tics. Simple.
