    Consider the Arken EPL models for their lightweight hunting version or the EP5 for the heavier competition style model.

    My next scope purchase will be a Maven RS1.2. A member will be doing a review soon.

    Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

    Hey mate, I have a 4 - 16 x 50 viper, pretty decent scope for the money.
    Zero stop leaves a bit to be desired?
    But you kind of get what you pay for and I still think pretty decent scope for. the money.
    Got nothing under mine at the moment!
    Cheers steff.
    No one is perfect,. Those that think they are, just prove the point.

    Any budget, I would also suggest a Burris,

    I think most would consider the vortex to be a more entry level scope. But still fine for day shooting, not so sure if it would be recomended for long range work.

    5-25 x 50 ffp Veracity $1699 used but the burris warrentee is great,

    I have a zeiss 3-15 HD something with target turrets and really happy with it on my 7 Saum

    But if i dropped the cannon and broke the Zeiss i would struggle to decide between a loopy 3-15 or a swaro 3.5-18

    Probably go swaro cause i can keep the tally 25mm rings

    Element scopes are great they’re a bit heavier but if you’re after ffp im assuming you’re doing a bit of targets at GC a 4-24x50 30mm tube I believe goes for $999
