[QUOTE="tuscan, post: 1577592, member: 90621"] It depends a little on how much you will be hunting vs long range shooting, and at what ranges doing each. I have a Vortex pst ii 3-15x44 - 30mm tube on a 7mmRM which is great for hunting - compact and light, but still very capable. The smaller objective and tube would limit it in long range target shooting. A Burris XTR II 5-25 is on my semi-auto 308, and it takes a beating. With 34mm tube, this one can and does go longer range, but it's heavier, so less of a hunting scope IMO, though it's been used effectively for that. Just bought an XTR II 4-20x with the Horus reticle for a bolt action 6.5mm CM rifle set up for prs/nrl type shooting - love it! Also have an Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27 that sits on my semi-auto 223. Hasn't gotten the usage of the others, but nice. That's a reasonable collection of 1k range scopes. They all perform very well, but of all of these if a few ounces more of weight is not an issue, I prefer the Burris. I do have a couple of scopes that were over 2k, and while awesome scopes, except for special applications, it's usually not worth the extra money. I would love to try the Tract Toric scope. Those are my go to binos, and the glass and quality of construction are outstanding. I've taken them mountain hunting all over, and had the chance to compare them to alphas multiple times. Just an awesome product and a great value for the money. Scopes are probably equally good. [/QUOTE]
