I would appreciate opinions on the scope that is at least 6X24X50 and has the most robust/ reliable/repeatable internals for dialing yardage.

there is a lot of 6x24 scopes for cheaper, but remember that cheaper glass with higher magnification equals pissed off consumer and happy hogs!
let me know if your looking for sub $1000 scopes stuff like bushnell 6500's 4200's etc.
6.5x284 kicks ass too by the way Edited by pyro6999 - November/25/2008 at 21:09 |

I have never been impressed with Bushnell anything but surley something between $1000. and $1500. should work with good glass. Thanks

One large issue is buying on the Internet without putting your eyeball on it first.

Ditto on the Swaro. I have that scope and it would be great for your application.

How about considering this scope. I have a 3-12 and have had perfect tracking so far in the few tests I have tried.
http://www.swfa.com/pc-12461-591-burris-6-24x50-xtreme-tactical-xtr-30mm-rifle-scope.aspx Not going to be the glass quality of a Swaro, but for under a $1000 it is good. I think it is the same quality as the 6500 although I have not had the chance to look through them side by side. |

I appreciate all your comments. They have been very helpfull. I am presently seriously considering a Sightron SIII 8X32. I will continue to do research following your comments.
Whatever I decide will be my Xmas present because I have been such a good boy this year.
