What LPVO for Scout/Shorty?

[rootacres]

So my eastern whitetail rig is a Ruger gunsite scout rifle in 450 BM. I want to move into a LPVO. I have a 3-9 accupoint right now. The 9x is nice for zeroing but I want something lower than 3X on the bottom end. The properties I hunt don’t have much shooting beyond 100 yds. I am open to both FFP and SFP as long as the reticle is usable at 1x in timber. Durability is a higher priority than glass quality for this application. I probably wont spend more than $1250 for this one. What say you? Thanks

I wouldn’t go lpvo due to small objective low light transmission.

GPO 1.5-9x 32 or 44 ~ 450-700$ made in China with German components

Alpen 1.5-9x44 800$ made in Germany

Delta Optical Titanium HD 1.5-9x45 900$ made in Japan

Trijicon Credo 1-6x24 has FFP and SFP options in your price range. I have a FFP one and like it.

Slightly above your price point is the Credo 1-8. I’d like one of these myself and I’ll start looking for some holiday deals.

I have a NF NX8 1-8x24 capped with the FC-DMx reticle as well that is my favorite LVPO

You may want to keep an eye out for a Vortex Razor 1.5-8x32. They made them for a while and then discontinued them. This would probably work well for your rifle.
