[QUOTE="Lovellr653, post: 2363173, member: 113949"] I have been trying to find the "perfect" scope for my Tikka 260Rem which will be used for hunting deer sized game from point blank out to 500 yds. The only thing that I've found that checks all the boxes thus far is the VX-5HD with HTMR reticle or the Razor LHT. My first hand experience with the Razor LHT was not good and I will not be purchasing that scope. For the sake of consistency I am trying to get all my scopes from here on out in mils. I have been searching high and low for other options both in the forums and comparing spec on websites. I now put it out to you folks, have I overlooked any options? What I'm looking for is as follows... Maximum weight 30oz. (ideally <25oz) Exposed elevation turret w/ zero stop. mils. Maximum 14" in length (thinking for balance and overall appearance on a petite rifle, 14" may even be a stretch) 44-50mm objective top end magnification somewhere between 15-18x $1500 max (perhaps a hair more if it really made sense) F1 or F2 though I'm leaning towards F2 for ease of use while hunting timber. Realistically I would dial elevation if needed and don't anticipate holding over. no preference on illumination It seems there are a lot of offerings that are close but not exactly what I'm looking for e.g. Triji Tenmile HX (long), Leica Amplus 6 (long), Zeiss V4 (MOA) etc. I am by no means an expert so I am open to suggestions or constructive criticism in my choice of desired specs.
