[QUOTE="Catawampus, post: 547997, member: 25897"] Hi All, I am looking for a bright scope under $500 for long range hunting. I plan to put it on top of a Tikka T3 Lefty in 270WSM or 300WSM I used to shoot benchrest and have a lot of trigger time but have not hunted much and I am looking to book a hunt for whitetail and hogs down south some time next year. I want to be prepared for up to 4-500 yards in morning and evening light. I have been looking at 4-16X50 scopes with BDC reticles and a 30mm tube seems like it would be an advantage. I have been considering the Vortex HS BDC, Nikon Monarch, Bushnell Elite, Millett Tactical and the Sightron SII as well as the Burris Fullfield. The Vortex is out in front but I am not sure the Long Range is in justified. I have several variable power varmint scopes (Leupold, Bushnell, Burris) that have power up in the 20-32 range but am concerned that this is too much for my purpose. Is this an incorrect assumption? Would the Vortex 6.5-20 be a good candidate? Sorry if this is a duplicate topic. I have seen some similar threads but could not find anythign that addresseda comparison of low light capabilities. I appreciate any assistance that can be provided. Thanks [/QUOTE]
