New LPVO

[Encore4me]

Wanting to get a new scope for my Ohio deer hunting rifle (450 Bushmaster). It has to have a 1x as the lowest magnification and 6-10 for the highest magnification. I really don’t want first focal plane because I need the lowest magnification to be big and bright for running shots during drives. Would like to stay below $1000 but might be able to go to $1500. What are your thoughts on this?

This threead is from the other day asking essentially the exact same question. There's probably some good suggestions for you in there. Link to recent thread

Never looked at this scope, but it fared better than most do in the drop eval: Sightron Stac 1-6 drop eval

Man I am looking for the exact same thing right now. I have a 450 BM that I use in MI for whitetail hunting. It currently has a 3-9 accupoint. Id like to go to a 1-6 LPVO. With your budget, I would take a serious look at the 1-6 accupoint with the duplex reticle. I have the post style reticle on my 3-9 right now. I think I prefer a more traditional style reticle. Another great option, the new Vudu X 1-6. It's a SFP unit with an illuminated reticle and capped dials. It sits at a nice price point and should be pretty durable.

You guys might look at the accupoints in 1-6 with the mil reticle and illuminated center dot
