Long range hunting scope

[Muleyobsession1]

Looking for suggestions on a budget friendly long range hunting scope with a zero stop and capable up to 1000yds. Budget is around 400-900$ and it will be for a bergara 6.5cm
Thanks in advance

A few things missing. Do you want FFP or SFP? MILS or MOA?

 

[Muleyobsession1]

SFP or FFP doesn’t make a big difference I don’t use reticle hash marks I just dial. And MOA

Zeiss V4 4-16x is one of my favorites and can be found for $8-900....

But shooting 1k yard with the 6.5 creed is skill in itself that probably lends itself to lots of practice. Whatever optic you buy, save money for components or ammo and shoot a lot!!!!

I’ll have to look into that one, I’m fairly proficient at long range with my 300wm and reloads I just got this more for antelope and long range coyotes. It has the sig tango4 but they are discontinued so I’m trying to find something similar.

Trijicon 2900033 Credo HX 2.5-15x 42mm Obj 41.20-6.90 ft @ 100 yds FOV 30mm Tube Satin Black Finish Illuminated Red MOA Center Dot

<p>When you have an impressive magnification range, an illuminated reticle and the lighter-weight low profile advantages of the Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42 riflescope on your side, you'll have more brag-worthy hunts. Its as durable as it is clear, maintains zero even if it takes a beating, and...

This comes to mind. Usually 1x is good enough per 100 yards for hunting. Coyotes are fairly small though so it might be nice to have a little more magnification than 10x.

Burris XTR III is a good possibility

Any thoughts on the signature HD series?

 

[elkguide]

A little more money but I'm really liking my Maven RS.5 4-24X50 SFP.

You should check out the scope evaluations sub forum.

I’ve seen used Nightforce SHV F1’s go in the $950 range. I’ve shot out to 1200 yards with mine on top of my 6.5 creed.

I like a higher end scope because of the lower probability of failure and higher quality glass.

You can find used scopes in your price range, some in this thread.

Any thoughts on the signature HD series?

I have one (2-10) on a savage 212 slug gun that kicks like a mule on Mexican creatine and its been great. (~100 rounds over 2 years). Not a conclusive study but at least one experience. I test mine to 300y regularly. No zero stop on them though.

Also the Zeiss V4 has been a favorite for my 6.5. RedHawk rifles usually has demos on sale with full warranty.

Trijicon Ten Mile 3-18x44.
Euro Optic and Optics planet run them in the $900-1K realm several times a year.

Check out Formidilosis scope evals on this site.

+1 for the XTRIII, out of several Arkens on rimfires,owned Athlon Cronus and multiple sightrons. XTRIII is a different level above.

So far I’ve been looking into the
Arken EPL-4 4-16
Vortex Viper PST II 4-16
Burris Signature HD 3-15

Viper pst gen2. Ffp. Great scope. Went FFP and go back go sfp.

 

[Trevor_Luescher]

I got a PST gen 2 that won’t hold a zero. Not saying they all have that issue, but mine did.

Been a couple of BUSHNELL ELITE LRHS in the classifieds lately.
