I just mounted a VX-R 2-7x33 with Duplex and dot I think I'm gonna really like. Don't get caught up in a high power range , big objective Hubble . Look for quality glass with a simple deer killing reticle. "Why do you ask"? Always vote the slowest path to socialism.

If you’re willing to spend up to $1500 I like the Schmidt Bender Klassik Up to $750 a Vortex Viper HS is hard to beat. If you don’t want to spend over $500 the Leupold VX series is good for the money

Plus they typically are a little brighter due to less glass in the internals. If I’m going to the woods I want a low power scope. Big 4-16x50mm are made for food plots, cutovers etc. my woods gun has a 1.5-6x42mm Schmidt Bender on it.
