[quote=AU7MM08][quote=R_H_Clark][quote=plt228]I’d only look at tactical scopes with good turrets. If you want to shoot long you’ll have to dial and if you can’t trust the turret you might as well not buy it. RH’s list covers most of what you want to look at. Might give Athlon a look too. Their higher end models seem to have good reviews. And if the Bushnell closeout he is talking about is the one GAP is doing that is probably going to be the perfect scope for you since the wind age is capped and George designed it for hunting.
How does the SWFA 3-15 fit into the mix?

Not saying it won't work fine for hunting but you might want to use it on 5X-6X on the lowest if there was a chance of 50 yard shots,especially in low light. I would rate their 3-9HD as a better pure hunting scope and always prefer the Mill quad reticle with mill adjustments on any. Always remember that the 3-9 will likely be $450 on Black Friday. and cal also sometimes be found in the sample list for same.
I still prefer the Bushnell 3-12 LRHS overall to either for better reticle,eyebox,adjustments, and better designed hunting turrets with a zero stop. You can sometimes find a used one around $700-800. That's what I gave for mine and I've seen others right after I bought mine.
There is also a Bushnell LRTSi 3-12 that is same but offers illumination. Only thing about it is that the GAP sale will get you a 4.5-18 at half the price with a small weight penalty.
