Looking for opinions on a new scope for my 7mm. I've spent a considerable amount of time on opticsplanet and similar sites and am a bit overwhelmed. I'm looking for a good hunting scope, no interest in one that has all the yardage/wind adjustments. Thats the problem I'm running in to, it seems like all of the higher end scopes have these adjustments that I don't want. I'm looking for something with these specifics; 4-12 or 4-16 with a 30mm tube and a 50-52mm objective. Price range would be up to $1500. Thanks for the help!

i struggled when i was scope hunting for my 300 a few years ago. Got a bunch of different recommendations but just went with what i felt comfortable with . One tip if the guy behind the counter will let you take a scope outside and look through it that helps tremendously.. GLWS

I have looked mainly at Leupold and Zeiss. I did look at a few meopta's, but can't recall the exact model. I'll check out the Optika 6 line. Thanks

Don't forget the importance of the reticle. Lota folks get caught up in a scope brand and "low light" performance , only to take take a reticle not suited for their type of hunting.
"Why do you ask"?
Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

Swarovski Z6 line - the older Zeiss Diavari line - Now the Zeiss V4 or V6 lines, catch them on sale on used
Shaneomac2 had it right, see if you can take some out for a test drive - Years ago, ago ages ago, the guy behind the counter allowed me to take two Zeiss, two Swarovski scopes, and a couple others all with just a handshake for an entire weekend (that is why I still deal with Simmons on all my major purposes even though I live over an hour and a half away from them now.

Only driver for the 30mm is that I already have a DNZ scope mount on the gun. Simple fix if I find a better option in the 1".

The Leupold VX5 scopes fit right in with what you're looking to buy.

What is the driver for the 30mm tube requirement?
bc 30mm > 1"

If you could live with 10x, the Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-10x56 would be awesome. Duplex with green dot is a great reticle.

Leaning towards the illuminated Zeiss V4. Trying to determine if my setup can accommodate a 56.

Leaning towards the illuminated Zeiss V4. Trying to determine if my setup can accommodate a 56. First, get rid of that fugly DNZ mount. Hint.

Ha! I've always liked the one-piece design, less moving parts. I may have to if I go with the 56.
