[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1708453, member: 13732"] Vortex is good for the money in their upper tier models. Their razor & gen 2 viper lines have good glass and accurate dialing, all models below those don't have the best reputations for accurate dialing, handling recoil on braked magnums, and glass quality is arguable. The OP should be looking at used optics to get the best performance for his dollar. Second hand top tier glass can be had for 1500-1800$ depending on the model. A SFP dialable scope with high mag range that's 100% on tracking, well there aren't many out there as in that category everyone runs FFP. I suggest the OP try a FFP scope with illumination to aid in picking up the reticle on low power. I picked up a 3-15 pst gen2 FFP moa reticle for 700$ on sale from euro optics. I consider this scope a good deal optically at that price. Compares very close to a Ares BTR which are now available for 400$ from various retailers. The new meopta optica6 scopes in the 3-18 SFP may be the best route to achieve the required wants here, but it's a brand new model which is just hitting the shelves. Meopta always produces a quality product and usually a bargain at their prices. The meostar s2 spotter may cost $2k but it hangs with 3500$ swaro and leica glass with ease even in a 6 year old design. [/QUOTE]
