[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 1246007, member: 1390"] You can find a lightly used 3-12 Bushnell LRHS for around $800. They are an outstanding value with many features you don't find on many scopes used for long range hunting. Tracking, zero retention and return to zero are second to none and the glass is VERY good. Other great options are the SWFA SS 3-9, or fixed 6x, fixed 10x, or HD 10x. I use all but the 10x HD and like the LRHS, tracking, zero retention, and return to zero are excellent. The glass on the 3-9 rivals the LRHS, but the 6x and 10x glass is very good too. Don't fall into the belief that you need big magnification to shoot long range. 10x will easily get you to 1000 and them some. Even 6x will get you to the hunting ranges you mention. None of the scopes I mention will hold you back even as your skill progresses. If you try one, you will likely find any "upgrading" in the future will be from want, not need. John [/QUOTE]
