The v-plex reticle is $25 cheaper and are in stock.
Factory refurbished but carry the same warranty. They ship quick too.

I had been getting the Diamondback HPs until they discontinued them. Then I stepped up to the Viper HS.
I have 3 Strike Eagle 1-6, 3 Diamondback HP, 2 Viper HS, a Crossfire Scout, a 1500 rangefinder and 10x42 binos.

I like Bushnell, have a 4-10x40 on a Ruger M77 06’
Nice tight groups, very nice glass. Wasn’t too pricey
In the $300-350 range.

After doing some research and reading real world reviews I went with Vortex glass and I couldn’t be happier. I recently put the Crossfire II on my new CZ 527 and the clarity is amazing!

Natchez has been running optics sales.
Blackhound Optics...! I have 4 of them and the price points are ridiculous for what you get. PM me and I can even get you a discount code. Lifetime warranty, Illuminated reticle, Parallax adjustments on all the larger scopes, and several different magnifications for different applications. Small company, but gaining a LOT of traction. EXCELLENT glass and many of their scopes come in both MOA and MilDot. Prices range from $275-$450 and you get a lot for your money including rings, installation tool, and bubble levels for mounting. I will NEVER buy another brand of scope... I have their 6x24x50 for $399, 2- 4x14x44 for $299 and the 1x8x28 for $450... Absolutely some of the toughest and best tracking scopes I have ever owned...

The clarity of the glass and the warranty is hard to beat at their price point. They do tend to be a little heavier

Agreed, but the little extra weight isn’t enough to be a deterrent IMO

Might like to give one of these a try against the Vortex. Doesn't hurt to try.Blackhound Optics...! I have 4 of them and the price points are ridiculous for what you get.

Don't feel bad, BD has been waiting for an answer for 40 months now. He actually left the forums because of it.

I liked the Japanese Bushnell and Weaver scopes. Sadly long gone.
Burris isn't bad.
Out of the current crop I still would buy leupold or Bushnell unless I was looking at long range. Then I like the swfa stuff.
I personally do not like vortex scopes.
