Looking for good suggestions on a FFP scope that has an Xmas tree reticle for under or near $1000.
Burris XTR ii comes to mind, but I'm sour on their poor glass.
Thanks.
 
3-15/18 or 4-20/24 max.
I don't think I want to go too much higher than 6x@18 or 24. This is because: I don't want to sacrifice too much light transmittance and image quality (esp. at this price point) and a generous exit pupil size is very important to me.
 
Thanks for the tip on varacity, I never knew of them.
Let me rephrase and add a few features:
MRAD Xmas tree reticle
Ballistic turrets
26+ MRAD elevation
Illuminated- sure?
34mm tube, if possible.
The Burris XTR iii will fit the bill exactly, whenever it is released. But I'm wondering if there is something comparable now.

under $1000 is what I expect to find after deal hunting. MSRP should be $1500-2300
 
I've been eyeing Tango6 3-18 and Accupower 4-16 (but that's SFP) and Accupower 4.5-30 (but that would be a small Xmas tree at my target magnification of 18-20x), but just can't seem to find a smashing deal on either of them, with the Xmas reticle.
 
Before I purchase the PST, what are peeps thoughts on the Athlon Ares BTR line? They compare well to PST in feature set and IQ. What about durability & cust support?
 
Save for a month or two more and get a Tract Toric UHD, they just launched a very nice x-mas tree reticle geared towards PRS style shooting. You wont be able to beat the glass, and the features are pretty solid for the price range.

If $1000 really is a hard stop, Vortex PST Gen2.
 
Designed with consumer feedback in mind, the Ares ETR first focal plane rifle scope is loaded with features accommodating a variety of shooting disciplines. A locking windage turret eliminates concerns of inadvertent adjustments in the field. The true precision zero stop provides a hard, repeatable return to zero, ensuring your shot is on target every time. Extra low dispersion ED lenses offer the sharpest, most colorful image possible. The Ares ETR is built with a rugged 34mm one piece tube, offering 110 MOA total elevation adjustment. A high precision erector system and stainless steel turret design provide consistent and repeatable adjustments from top to bottom. From big game hunting to extreme long range, the Ares ETR is "Sharp, Tight, and Priced Just Right."

This Ares ETR 4.5-30×56 Model has APRS1 first focal plane illuminated MIL reticle in it. Please click the link for detailed reticle subtension…

FEATURES

  • ED Glass: Extra Low Dispersion glass significantly reduces chromatic aberration giving you an utmost bright and sharp image with true color reproduction.
  • Illuminated Reticle: The illuminated reticle provides greater visibility during dusk and dawn and other low ambient light environment.
  • First Focal Plane Reticle: First focal plane reticle stays valid at all power settings allowing you to fully utilize the specially designed reticle that shrinks or grows along with your target as you zoom in or out. The reticle offers quick target engagement at low power while offering precise holdover positions with finer details.
  • Etched Glass Reticle: Reticle etched on the glass that provides excellent backing support for complex reticle design and offers great durability and much higher shock resistance to recoil
  • Advanced Fully Multicoated: Fully Multicoated optics effectively reduces reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single coated lenses
  • XPL Coating: XPL Coating gives you an extra protection on the exterior lenses from dirt, oil and scratches or anything else mother nature can throw at you.
  • Precision Zero Stop System: The system allows you to lock down your zero position and dial back to it with a sharp and precise stop right at your zero mark even you are turning it in pitch-dark or blind folded.
  • Locking Windage Turret: This Locking Feature allows you to push down to lock the turret and pull up to turn. This feature prevents the windage knob from being turned accidentally and keeps your zero all the time.
  • High Precision Erector System: The high precision erector system processed by high precision CNC machine with +/- 0.0001mm tolerance level to provide you the most accurate power settings and smoothest magnification change
  • 6061 T6 Aluminum: The 6061T6 aircraft grade aluminum tube that has exceptional strength and superior mechanical integrity will protect these world class optics no matter what punishment you throw at it.
  • Exposed Tactical Direct Dial: Exposed Direct Dial Turrets for elevation and windage allow you to quickly make adjustment as you needed and engage your target within a blink of your eyes
  • One Piece Tube Construction: Heat treated one piece tube gives the scope extra strength over multi-piece tubes. A one piece tube also is better at keeping moisture out thus keeping your scope fog proof for the life of the product
  • Waterproof: Waterproof to protect the scope in the harshest weather conditions or if accidently submerged underwater
  • Fog proof: Fog proof to allow you to immediately engage your target when you take your rifle to cold ambient temperature from warm inside
  • Shockproof: Robust mechanical system with special designs on both control and erector system that give you the ultimate recoil resistance to withstand 1000G recoil for 1000 times.
  • Argon Purged: Argon Purging uses the inertia gas with bigger size molecules to purge any moisture out of the tube giving you better waterproofing and thermal stability.
