New hunting scope?

[bduke7645]

So, I'm in the market for a new deer hunting scope, I'm on the east coast where typically my furthest shoot is under 300 yards. I would like something that is great in low light conditions and I'm not looking for something with a turret (just want to set it and forget it) just looking for opinion.


budget is a under $1300
I would prefer 30/35mm tube with a 56 objective

**** capped turret is what i meant to say

Why would you care about the tube diameter if you're not dialing?

For that distance and an emphasis on low light within that budget - https://www.eurooptic.com/schmidt-bender-classic-8x56-a7-30mm-alloy-tube.aspx

If you can pony up for the Polar they're supposed to be about the best there is for low light.

Why on earth are you looking for a 35mm tube with a 56mm objective for east coast set and forget inside 300 yds? A 1" or 30mm scope with a 42mm or 44mm objective is more than enough for legal shooting light. Nightforce SHV 3-10x42.

4-14x56 nightforce SHV checks most of those boxes.

The NXS 2.5-10 would be a good option as well. Not a perfect fit, but close.

I would look very hard at the Amplus 6 from Leica. Phenomenal glass for the price and within your budget.
