Vortex 3-15 PST with lite up retical,,, 5 years and its still holding in there,,, there dirt cheap used as they work for the up close and personal on out to range,,, pretty easy to go after the 12" gongs at 1400 metres """if""" you choose to do the parallax/ manual focus...
That way your eye is not straining to see things up close to distsnce,,, try to get the adjustable lite retical that allows you to use the high power setting in the dark timber back grounds of day light hours,,, then use 1 of the other 8 settings in dim/ flat light conditions,,, this reduces to much lite feed back to the eye when sigthing in on the target...
You'll be glad to go this route since you'll be the first to shoot in the morning hours,,, and the last to return to camp at night,,, an extra few minutes ahead of folks that dont have lite up retical systems...
Once you use it,,, you'll never go back,,, the nice thing about them is the battery is easy to change and they last a long time,,, the trick to remember is turning it off at the end of the day... Ha...
The Tree style retical will allow you to reach out to shots of 36/ 37 MOA,,, then hand dial at things past that,,, nice thing about vortex is the large grip dials with solid clicks you can feel...
They are a bit heavy,,, but are built on a solid platform,,, and at a frugal price point used,,, $400 to $500 ish if you shop around on the hunting and outdoor forums,,, my friend got one in 6-24 power in immaculate condition for $400...
Good luck finding what works for you...
