[QUOTE="jkad57, post: 1555585, member: 107887"] How comfortable are you shooting at 500 yards accurately? If the answer is, I’m not sure, then you may want to find what your maximum range is before settling on your rifles optical power. Your caliber choice and effective range, as ajkellerusmc states, is an even bigger factor. Another consideration before choosing a higher power optic is when the moment of truth comes breathing and heart rate can move your target POI. Maybe that’s not a issue but you can always get closer to your game and max out your optic at 10X. There are plenty of SFP scopes from quality manufacturers, like the two you mentioned and others that can fit within a $1K budget, but the lightest weight are limited to only a few. Personally I’ve found Leupold to be one of the lightest and the clarity of even their VX3i CDS, for around $500 is tough to beat. Good luck and let us know what you choose. [/QUOTE]
