[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 605483, member: 34084"] Sorry, your thread got hijacked again. You don't have a lot of choices with moa/moa. Kind of locks you in to a few models and their optical performance is not great. I recommend that you reconsider moa/mil and mil/mil. If you plan on dialing for elevation and holding for wind, does it really matter? I use Ballistic on the iPhone and it outputs hold-offs in all those combinations. Remember, this is me talking and I value optical quality over features and minor convenience. You have a good case for going 5X or even 6X magnification range. So consider some of those options too. For hunting I don't recommend going above 4.5 on the low end. That said, here are some options I evaluated at SHOT that had good optical performance and might be in your price range. Zeiss Conquest 4-14x are fine scopes in all regards. Bushy 6500 4.5-30x50. Burris XTR 4-16x50. Weaver Tactical 3-15x and 4-20x (no MAP pricing - good value). Be sure to get Butler Creek scope covers and a lens pen. Also, use a 20 or even 30 moa scope base, or use Burris signature rings with the offset inserts. You want the scope near its optical center at all times. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
