[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 1305238, member: 1390"] SWFA SS is the most economical and their tracking, return to zero and zero retention are superb. The fixed x models are only $300 and are without question, the most scope for the $ you can get. In the fixed x model, I recommend the 6x or 10x. I had a 16x and the mechanics were superb on it too, but th eyebox is quite critical on it and glare is problematic when the sun is low on the horizon. The 6x and 10x don't suffer those maladies. The 10xHD has all the same great qualities of the classic 10x and better glass. The turrets are a splined attachment instead of the set screws. The 3-9 has th HD glass and splined turrets too but no parallax adjustment. The Bushnell LRHS also has flawless tracking, return to zero and zero retention and some additional features: zero stop, low profile 10 mil per rev turret, and capped windage turret. The glass is better than the SWFAs too. New, the 3-12 is a tiny bit above your specified price range but they can be had used in excellent condition for about $800. For a dialing scope, I would stay with a scope designed and built for that purpose. The two outlined above are. Some other brands, or at last some models within those brands, are set and forget hunting scopes that have a tactical or target type turret added by the factory. John [/QUOTE]
