Scope rec

[Techbb]

If you had up to $2k to spend new or used on a scope, mil based reticle, FFP, 1-3 x 10-25 x X, ~20oz or less, what would you pick? Used mostly for target up to 300 yards, with handful of trips to 800 yard range. + some hunting in Northeast and out West maybe once a year. Max hunting distance would be 200ish yards, but mostly deer in the east so ~100 or less. But again, most of time used at range. Will go on a Howa Mini 6 arc in Elf chassis.

Assumption is that ~20oz still gets you quality glass but happy to hear otherwise.

Thoughts?

Based on this set of criteria, SWFA 3-15x or Maven RS1.2 (both a little over your 20 oz, but close)
