[QUOTE="BJH, post: 1522465, member: 93876"] All of the recommendations here are very good. I have used several brands and models of scopes over the years and my preference falls to Nightforce for usability and function. The 'Zero-Stop' on the NF plus the amount of adjustment are tough to beat. Plus, the glass is very good. I am currently running a 5.5-22x50 NXS and a 5-25x56 ATACR and both have been incredible for me. I really like the glass quality in the Ziess scopes as well and my Conquest is still one of my favorite 'all-around' scopes. I was pleasantly surprised when looking through the new Bushnell Tactical scope at how nice the glass is. I would say look close at your needs and look through as many as you can. All that have been listed as suggestions here are great scopes and would probably do a great job. But I will suggest a very hard look at the NXS in your price range. Crazy tough, etched reticle, great glass, and perfect tracking. Plus, the zero-stop works better than any of the others that I have personally used and is one of my favorite things about it. There is no questioning your zero if set up correctly. I was on an elk hunt a few years ago with my NXS and had forgot to turn the scope back down from shooting at a hillside the night before and was set on somewhere around 1,600 yards, when a shot at a bull was presented at about 150. I didn't even look down to return the scope to zero. I just grabbed the turret and cranked it down as hard and fast as i possibly could. When it hit the stop i was fully confident that the bullet would hit where I wanted it to and it did. [/QUOTE]
