    The aforementioned Zeiss HD5 with ballistic turret, or the Sightron 4-20x50 is a good pick mate. I can’t speak for the Burris because I haven’t owned one, but they are getting good reviews.

    What I can say about the Sightron is the Exactrac mechanism is absolutely spot on and is dialling perfectly - Sightron is highly rated for this feature.

    What you have to work out is the amount of longer range dialling vs traditional low light stalking you’re likely to be doing. If you end up with a tacticool scope for 600m, with tall ballistic turrets but probably “average” glass at that price point, but you end up actually shooting most of your deer at <100m at deer o’ clock, you bought the wrong scope.
    10-Ring, kiwi303 and caberslash like this.
