[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1439228, member: 71039"] If you don’t want a 30mm tube and prefer 1”, the diamondback HP scopes are pretty nice. I had the 3-12x42 version for a while mounted on a 7mm WSM. The HPs are upgraded glass from the regular diamondback line - somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I think I read somewhere they use the same glass as the viper line, its just in a 1” tube package and has the paralax adjustment on the side. I am pretty sure they make a 4-16x42 diamondback hp version as well. You would be way under budget with something like this. I have always been of the opinion that if you max out your budget on glass you will never regret it. If you are ok to buy used (which I am) you can get a lot of scope for a good deal. used vortex pst gen 1’s for $600 ish are a great example. Even Midway had a clearance on their 6-24x50 pst for like $579 (SFP) a couple days ago - by the time i had a second to go buy one they were sold out. I had a 4-16x50 PST for a while and was disappointed with the clarity. I called Vortex about it and they admitted that they had several complaints about the 4-16x50 PSTs and that they clarity was much better in their 6-24x50 versions, which has been my experience as well.
