Overwhelmed by scope choices

[diesmech]

First post on Rokslide. I am putting together a new medium range hunting rifle. I have a Tikka T3X 7mm prc with a 24 inch barrel and a side baffle muzzle brake. I have been stewing over optic choices for days. I have considered a Burris Eliminator 6, a Leica amplus 6 3-18, a Leupold vari x 6 4-24, a Zeiss v4 6-24, and a few others. I like the idea of the burris eliminator but am worried about glass quality. I own several leupolds but have heard their quality is declining. I have never owned a zeiss or a leica. I am open to any and all suggestions, ideas, brand recommendations or whatever you may have to throw my way. Thank you

I suggest you read through the field evaluations.

We will make more trouble rather than be of any help.

On a 7 PRC Tikka I would go for something heavy like an NF ATCR or S&B PM II.

If you really care about glass, then S&B is the only brand I would consider, but that is because durability/zero retention are my top priorities. That judgements is based on reputation, not extensive personal experience.

Take a look at SWFA or Trijicon for a good solid hunting scope.
