Looks like I’m in the market for a new scope. Prefer something that I can dial. Prefer moa. Doesn’t have to be Christmas tree reticle. I like the leupold vx5 but y’all keep dogging it, so what do y’all like. $1000 max. And I’d prefer it to not feel like an 8” block on top of my rifle.

I was very happy with the SHV’s that I have had. Used a couple of the F1 scopes for two or three years until I decided that I wanted to try something new, but I wouldn’t hesitate to go back. They always tracked well for me and the glass was good enough to my eye.

Next time I drop money on a scope it will be the shv f1 4-14.
This one is on my short list. I think the eye relief is a little short. But I’m changing up my bases so it may matter less to me.

SWFA of whatever flavor you choose, put the money saved towards gas money. Heaven knows we would all need it this fall haha.

But hey, I'm just some random guy on the internet...

I would strongly advise the OP to avoid the Burris XTR III if he intends to hunt with it. On the non-illuminated 3.3-18 model, the crosshairs are so fine that they are useless below 8X. The scope really struggles with poor light as well.

Thanks for the replies guys. I probably won’t get the gun in hand for another month. Probably wait until Black Friday/cyber Monday to order. That’ll give me plenty of time to research the various models, and I may even find something before that someone wants rid of.

I have a SHV 3-10 already but just picked up a Credo HX 4-16x50 for $679 on Eurooptic. Good deal.
