[QUOTE="wasgas, post: 684620, member: 21357"] Best LR capable hunting scopes under 1k? I am in the market for a scope for a 338RUM sporter to be used for hunting and also capable of long ranges. I do not want one of the huge tactical scopes that doubles as a hammer should I need to build a barn in the woods. I want the best glass I can afford that will allow for use in low light conditions. I just removed a VX3 LR 8.5-25X50 and this is the worst idea I ever had for hunting scope, to much magnification. I am thinking that I would like lower 3-4 power and higher 15-20 power ranges, I also want to be able to smack a rock or anything else that I come across out to 1,000 yards should I decide to. If I had to put a $$$ amount on it then my target price range would be about $800 but if there is clearly a better scope for more money then I will go that route. I will be hunting desert couse deer, elk, mule deer, coastal bears, daughters boy friends etc.... Here are few that have come to mind whats your thoughts, what else should I consider? Minox Zeiss Conquest Leupold VX3 Steiner Predator xtreme Swaro Z5 [/QUOTE]
