Thread: New Scope options

Gents (and ladies), I am keen to hear your thoughts for a new rifle scope.
I have a rifle I want to turn into a 243Win to use as versatile rifle for all types of shooting. A mix of varminting to deer. I will plan to shoot 105g A-Max or VLD as it has a 1:8 barrel.
I was wanting in a scope

• Decent glass (obviously)
• Reasonable magnification (shooting out to 600 so I'd guess 14X would be a good max) but low enough to jump shoot with (say 4X)
• Lightweight
• Parralax adjustable (side focus a must)
• Low adjustable turrets (accurate and repeatable that are not going to hookup on every branch)
• 30mm tube (not essential but nice)
• Smallish objective (40mm preferably)

Not much of an ask?
Thoughts of possible scopes are
March but they're a bit spendy (plus Proudkiwis review on "that other place that shall not be named" did not sound too cool at the price)
Swaro Z6 looked a good option (again a bit pricy and the BT turrets looked confusing)
Nightforce don't really have a smaller option with SF but the 2.5-10 X 32 with velocity recticle looks awesome for another project i have in mind
Dare I say it the current top contender would have to be the VX3 4.5-14 X 40 with CDS. Ticks all the boxes except the amount of poor feedback re tracking in the CDS.
I was also thinking, I might wait to see if the new VX6 gets a bigger offering as it appears to be looking like new Leupold flagship scope.
Any thoughts out there?
