[QUOTE="Eric_F, post: 2445613, member: 105437"] Hi guys. I know there are lots of similar threads and I've read many of them. But spending other people's money is fun, right? I'm looking for a scope to put on my .284 Win Tikka for an elk hunting trip to Colorado this coming season: [ATTACH alt="PXL_20211208_040722339.jpg"]341714[/ATTACH] It will be my first western hunting trip, but I've been deer hunting in MN and WI and shooting PRS style competitions out to 1k so I'm at least a decent if not amazing shot. I want the scope to enable a harvest out to 600 yds. I'm set on: - 3-18ish mag range - FFP, mil - locking elevation turret - not super heavy. I'd live with up to 32 oz, but would prefer <28 oz (1.75 lbs) - $1k or less preferred, but I could swing up to $1250 (and can get a Tenmile or LHT for that due to a friend with dealer pricing) - Will retain a zero well. Forgot this initially as I feel like it should go without saying, but given recent contentious forum posts on the LHT, maybe not? I've read all of that and not sure what to make of it. I tried to include every decent scope I could find that meets that criteria on the list, but doesn't include an OG LRHS/LRTS as they're so hard to find (esp the 3-12). No, the PST doesn't have locking turrets but wanted it there for reference. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20220216-112418~2.png"]341715[/ATTACH] What have I missed, and of that what would you all recommend? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
