I'm looking for a scope for my lightish allround hunting rifle. I hunt in lowlands with a mix of forest and field, so some shots are close, some are far.
- Very good optics quality
- At least 10x maximum magnification
- At least 40 mm objective size, for hunting in dawn and dusk
- 22 oz max weight
- mil elevation turret, that turns counter clockwise for "up".
My frontrunner so far is the Swarovski Z6i BT 1.7-10x. It weighs less than 18 ounces, and you can replace the obnoxious turret rings with an aftermarket ring with mrad markings. It has the CCW turret. It has amazing glass clarity.
I have a feeling that there is a light weight 3-10x scope out there with good glass quality and the right style of turret. For the close up shots, I could mount a small red dot. Leupold has a bunch of options, but most of the lighter weight options have MOA adjustments. The reason why I want a turret with mil adjustments and CCW for up, is that I have that configuration on my dedicated target/long range scopes.
