Thread: Scope 1 inch tube recommendations required .

I'm in the market for a new scope and have narrowed down my requirements to this list .

1 inch tube
Vari-power no higher than 12x
No need to dial elevation , so hunting type turret caps
Number 4 or Duplex reticle
No bigger than 42mm objective lense .
Light weight , so alloy not steel construction .
Quality glass
Max budget of $1400 , but would prefer in the $1000 range .

What options are out there that meet this list of requirements , I'd really appreciate any advice or first hand knowledge .

PS - does Swarovski still make the Z3 3-9x36

Thanks

Ken
