I have 2 Burris Veracity 4-20X50 scopes on a 6mm AI & 6.5-06 rodent rifles. They serve my needs perfectly. Trajectories of the 6mm 87 Vmax @ 3375 and 6.5mm 100 ELDVT @ 3350 are real close and the FFP reticles have real close hold overs to 500 yards. Easy to set zero stop & sun shade provided. Just under $500 each at Natchez.

I also have 4 of the now discontinued Burris RT 5-25X56 scopes on my 7.7 twist .22-.250 rodent rifles that shoot .224 62 gr. ELDVT bullets @ 3475 fps. Optics are real close to the Veracity and might be equal to other eyes. The 56mm scopes are real good in poor light when set at 15-18 X. The RT scopes have zero stops & pull up adjustment knobs & a handy position adjustable lever on power adjust ring. No sun shade provided so I have a 3D printed plastic sun shade that clamps on. The RT scopes cost just under $400 at Euro Optics.

I sold some Leupold & Sightron scopes to buy these and am real happy, especially with tracking.

Burris Fullfield 4-16x50: Honest Glass for Real Hunters | OutdoorHub

Every now and then, a piece of gear reminds you that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get solid performance in the field. The Burris Fullfield 4-16×50 is one of those reminders. I took this optic down to Texas with wide skies, long shots, and plenty of mirage, and came away impressed with …

I'm liking my 3 Viper HD 3-15x44's. They have the illuminated dot and 2 are BDC while the other one is MOA. I bought a budget scope that really surprised me, it's the Sig Tango SPR 4-16x44. Time will tell if it holds up but I put it on the 6.5 PRC.
 
Leica Magnus 2.4x15i - far and away the best I've ever owned or looked through
Leica Magnus 1.5x10 - best compact/lightweight scope glass around
Honorable mention - NF NX8 2.5x20 - great for the money and for my eyes, great glass too

Hunting it's a Leupold VX5-HD and it's never missed a beat! Am well aware of issues with this brand of late, had them myself 🙄

I was in love with them but all 3 would not track so I moved on and won't go back.
That 3-15 was the perfect scope and glass was awesome.
I gave them 3 strikes.

Revic Radikl with the built in weather station and ballistics calculator and the HUD makes turning turrets to the correct yardage a breeze. I love their new reticle that's a combination post and fine holdover reticle. Great FFP reticle using the post for low light close distances and the fine reticle for low light distant shooting at higher powers.
 
I have a couple styles of hunting.
For my varmint/field deer rifles I really like a leupold vx3 long range 8.5-25. My only complaint is the standard duplex. I'm going to be trying a shv 5-20 she and a vx5 4-20 this year.
So far the shv glass has impressed me.

My general big game rifle wears a 3.5-10 vx3hd. It's about as good as it gets for my budget and purpose. We drive a lot here in western pa so shots tend to be up close and quick and then in the same day I could sit a field edge that I need 500 yard capability and the 3.5-10 with the cds fills that need nicely.

Your right on all fronts. That pack in elk hunt into the West Elk Wilderness cost me less than $500.00, horses were $25 per day, pack horse was $75.We only kept one pack horse,split the cost between four of us.Took the three others back to the outfitter. the whole trip to, Colorado, Wyoming, tags, everything was $1700.00. trespass fee on the 180,000 acre ranch near Bill Wyoming was $75.00 and they lets us sleep in the sheep barn. I've stayed in worse motels! Nice bed and hot shower. Small gas kitchen.
Over the counter tags was $75.00 for antelope.
Mule Deer in Colorado was around $75.00 elk was $125.00.
Left Alabama on October 2nd , made it home on the 28th. Great big cooler full of mule deer and elk. We flew the antelope home from Denver air freight. Frozen in a plywood insulated box we made just for that. Air freight from Denver to Birmingham was $57.00. One of our wives picked it up in Bham.

WOW THAT'S AN AWESOME STORY LOTS OF GREAT MEMORIES THERE! What else can I say? Reminds me of the many trips my buddy Eli and myself took to Colorado ,Montana, and Wyoming. May he rest in peace 🙏.

I'm ready for some other manufacturers to offer what the Burris Eliminator and that Swaro dS 4-24x50 offer. I have not bought either one, but the tech is interesting, and I'd imagine it's coming eventually from more manufacturers.

I have shot a couple DS at distance.
Pretty cool, and it worked well out to 1100 on the 6.5PRC and 7PRCs I shot them on.
