Well I’m looking at scopes and wanted to see what would everyone to with in the 8-$1000 budget. The last scope I bought was a vx-5 3-15x56, I have zero complaints and really just wondering if I may be missing something out there or to just go back with the same scope. I like the Swiss conquest v4 and swaro z3 line as well.

Or I'll give you 300 for the rifle and you won't to go through the pain of all the options of scope shopping

Where the Leupold’s shine are their Firedot reticle. It trumps the Swaro illuminated reticle in every category that matters to me: ease of use, battery life, zero starburst effect. Having said that I still love Swarovski’s and have several of them in rotation. All depends on what you want or expect out of your optic. If you’re gonna be dialing for distance I wouldn’t recommend either. We’re not dead. We just smell that way. Dayum. - AC870 Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22
