Sig 4x12x50 hellfire was what I was consideringDon’t be afraid to check SIG or Athlon.
Vortex has excellent glass in that range. Honestly though if you are hunting GA for deer inside 100yds most anything will do with a known name, Bushnell, if you are tight on cash.
Which vortex has good light gatheringThis hits the nail.
We were talking about good enough scopes that don’t break the bank. I just put a Diamondback on a rifle and it works fine during legal shooting times.Which vortex has good light gathering
very happy with the sig I got....check cameraland they are great to deal withSig 4x12x50 hellfire was what I was considering
I admit that there's now lots of new brands and models that I haven't had any experience with.
Of the one's I have owned or tested the Leupold is tough to beat. I have recently purchased 3 new Burris scopes, all under $200 that blow away anything else I've looked through in their price range lately.
They were all the E1 series. One from Academy the 1" tube 3X9X50 @ $189ea. The two from Cabelas are 30mm tube 3X9X40 @ $149 each.

The reticle pic and description at Cabelas are wrong. Neither elevation or windage are edge to edge. The reticle is centered, outer bars shown aren't there. This is what I have in the two I own. No clutter

The one at Academy isn't $189 now and it has a more standard wall to wall plex reticle.
I picked up the Academy one while comparing directly against more costly Vortex models in stock. I dislike 50mm objectives, still this one took the money from my pocket and followed me home. The much less forgiving eye relief of the Vortex makes them undesirable for me.
Yes^^^^^^^This deserves strong consideration.Meopta Optika 5, for $329 is about the best bang for ~$300! I've seen them on sale for $299, at times, if $300 is the absolute cutoff.
