Reliable Scopes under $1500

[CJ_BG]

Basically the title, looking for something that's bulletproof under $1500 with the following specs.

• Low end of 2-4x, and a high end in the 12-18 range
• 40-44mm objective, if it has to be a 50mm then that's also fine but bigger than 50 is a deal breaker
• Weight irrelevant
• I prefer an exposed elevation turret
• MOA or MIL reticle, MIL preferred but MOA will be alright
• SFP or FFP doesn't matter but if it's FFP it either needs to have a usable reticle for low light at the bottom end of magnification or be illuminated

That's about it, any help greatly appreciated

Sounds like you just described the Maven RS1.2

Nightforce SHV 4-14x50mm illuminated reticle

Trijicon, NF, and S&B (Klassik 3-12x42) all make scopes that fit that description. The Maven RS1.2 also.

SWFA 3-15 fits that description and is easily enough to find still.

The 5-20 is slightly outside your preferred specs but is great as well.

Bushnell LRHS or LRTS have been shown to be durable and can be found also. The LRHS2 has intrigued me but I’ve never owned one or seen one tested
