Tactical Scope With Best Glass For Under $2000?

[EasternNChunter]

I used to have a Swarovski 4x12x50 ($1000) scope. I sold it when I bought my Nightforce NXS and was dissapointed with the glass in the Nightforce. For low light hunting, the Swarovski was the better, brighter scope. I wish I could afford a Zeiss Hensoldt but they are $3500. I want a scope with magnification in the 5-20x50 - 6-24x56 range with nice European glass. MOA or MIL knobs. Any suggestions?

Ok...under $2500?

Get the 5 - 25 Swaro....

Is there a Swarovski with regular MOA or MIL knobs instead of their 100, 200, 300... Yard system? The deer/steel I shoot at are not always in 100 yard increments.

Check out the IOR 6-24x56 35mm tac scope. It can be found under 2k

I really like my ERT Leupolds in 6.5-20 TMR reticle and M5 dials 1/10 MIL Front Focal, they retail just under 2k and provide everything you need in a tactical scope.

I used to shoot MOA dials and now wonder why I did not make the switch to the MIL/MIL world sooner......

I have a Zeiss 6.5-20x50 on my 7mmSTW with the tactical turrets that are 1/4" click adjustments. It's only a Conquest, but they are excellent scopes with great glass for the money. Can be had for about $800.

Anyone can see that NF glass is not in the same league with Swarovski. And anyone can find that Swarovski's functions are nowhere near that of an NXS. Weight is a big issue also.
It's a common compromise.
To get both these days, if even possible, would cost a fortune.

Vortex razor 5x20x50. Excellent in every way, just a little heavy but awesome glass and adjustments.

For under $2500 March and Premier LT are hard to beat, glass gives up nothing to Swaro and internals and features are more like NF than Swaro....
