Just picked up a leftover X Bolt Pro in 6.5 PRC for a steal, and now I'm trying to find fairly lightweight scope for it in the $1000-1500 range. Would be used for a mix of western and MW hunting.
Main priorities:
Min 18x max zoom
Definitely sub 30 oz, ideally under 25
Good field of view
Sturdy and good warranty for potential abuse
Fairly forgiving eyebox
Currently looking at:
Vortex Viper LHT 4.5-22 (new)
Leupold VX6HD 3-18 (used)
Steiner Predator 8 3-24 (new, on a big discount)
Outside consideration is that Swaro Z5 on the classifieds right now, but worried about FOV there compared to the 30mm options.
Any of you scope sages here have a preferred choice out of these options or another idea I should consider?
