Long range scope of your choice for under $1,000?

[Hunter1212]

What would you guys say Is the best bang for your buck? Looking to find something that actually holds a zero somewhat reliably. Thanks

Trijicon, several variants meet your needs at that price point.

 

[WyoKimber]

I second Trijicon

Bushnell LRHS2 from GA Precision.

For under $1k, I like my SigSauer Tango 4 on my LR Grendel Build. It doesn't compare in low light to my LP MK4, Nightforce or HorusF, but those all cost more than $1k

 

[House21]

I third Trijicon

SWFA 3-9 isn’t available currently, would be my first choice. These are solid alternates.

I know they're not popular here, but i have a Vortex 6.24x50 HSLR that has worked well for me on a 6.5CM

I vote a used NF SHV F1 or SWFA 5-20. I’ve used those both a lot, they’ve been 100% reliable and retain zero. Both were found used for under 1000

Stoked to see these back in stock! I’ve never used the “2” version but always wanted one.

Just out of curiosity - is there any type of zero stop system for the 5-20 swfa? Shims? Washers?

There’s shims and washers for the non HD SWFAs… but I don’t know about for the HD models.

I'm probably a minority here, but I really enjoy the Arken epl 6-24. It checked my boxes- FFP, mil/mil, ill., zero stop, capped turret, plenty good enough glass, not super heavy.
I can also recommend the LRHS 4.5-18, and optika6 3-18. Both of these have been great too. I also own a razor 4.5-22lht that has been less than stellar.

Zeiss v4 or Nightforce SHV. Both can be found below $1000. You also want a scope that is accurate on dialing as well. Not just hold a zero.

I have one on an xbolt and love it. It’s a little bulky but it can’t be beat for the price. I got a 3-18 tenmile when they went on sale over Christmas and the tenmile is a little sleeker which I like, however it is not worth almost double the price. Eyebox, glass, depth of field, etc all feel very similar between the two.

Yes I just picked up a Arken 6-24x56 for like $400. The turrets are good giving good tactile feedback. The Glass is comparable to $800 scopes and it seems to track well. I’m tempted to get a Arken 1-8 34” tube LPVO as well. This scope rules bang for the buck.
