[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 507487, member: 319"] Another scope you should add to that list, especially if you feel 5X-6X is too much on the low end, is the new Weaver 3-15 Tactical. I have used and hunted with the 4-20 Weaver quite a bit and have been very impressed with it for the money. The big things I felt it needed for me to really like it were: Thicker and/or illuminated reticle. 1/2 Mil marks on the reticle. 0.1 Mil clicks to match the reticle. More elevation travel. Weaver has pretty much fixed all of those for the new 3-15X. While I like some of the features on the 4-16 PST a bit better, for that power range I'd choose the Weaver as the glass is much better. The FOV is way bigger on the low end and you'll be able to see more detail on the high end. Of course I hope Weaver will eventually do the same treatment on their 4-20 as 4X is plenty low for me in the brush (especially since the Weaver has a bigger FOV than other 4X scopes) but that may be a ways off.
