^^^^^ thisFind a zeiss conquest 3-9x40...You can find them on the auction sites for $3-400. Great glass, tremendous eye relief, durable - as good of a set and forget 3-9x that you will find
It sure did.The Huron price increased by $100 after the drop eval
Have you seen the drop tests done on this forum? Vortex and Leupold consistently performed awful, on top of all of the personal accounts of failures. What more does it take?That’s a matter of opinion, international/ African hunters seem to trust leopold
On dangerous game
I would not buy any thing with a turret to dial in moa for LDH except a couple that
Are in the $2000-3000 price bracket ( only a few will track right when dialing a lot)
A Burris signature has been on my .300wm and it hasn’t changed in 20+ years of bouncing around in my truck
Two good options from Burris:Ive got a Patriot 6.5 that was given to me by my FIL. It will be my son's first rifle to learn on and do some eastern deer hunting. FIL put a super crappy scope on it so I want to put something better but im not going to spend a bunch on it, as the title says under $400. ill probably stick with the typical 3-9x40, maybe 3 or 4-12. I have a VX-Freedom I like so I could get another one. Vortex Diamondback is an option, I feel like the Bushnell R5 or Engage would be good as well, if a bit below the Leupold. Burris has slim pickins in this range, but they could be an option.
Do you have another option? If not, out of those, which would you choose?
Bushnell Elite 4500 2.5-10 or 4-16 are in the $300-340 range, great glass, not Chi-com.Ive got a Patriot 6.5 that was given to me by my FIL.

I’m interested lolHeck, Ive got a 1 year old trijicon credo 3-9 duplex scope Id sell for $400, cuz I really want a 1-6 on that gun.
Id look for a trijicon of some sort though, so far best bang for the buck Ive found. Europtic seems to have the best prices 99% of the time and theyve been great to deal with ime.
My hunting will be woods / thicker brush in Maine. Low light am and pm often. I was looking at meopta optika 2-10 and zeiss 2-10 used but concerned about reticle visibility where I will be. Any input?
Snagged the credo from Macintosh. Zeroing with the 8 year old next weekend hoping he can put something down on youth dayI cannot comment on the zeiss, but the meopta has a fairly fine/thin reticle. For me its ok in low light, but the reticle is tough to see in heavily shadowed areas.
The Trijicon Huron I looked through had a thicker/better reticle for heavily shadowed areas.
