$1000 to spend

Alright guys.  I have about $1k budget for a scope.  I've been looking at the sample list and have a few questions.

I'm trying to decide between the Swarovski 4-12x50mm American, the Kahles CL 3-12x50, or the Kahles 3-12x56mm C.  Which one would you buy?  Unless you have any other suggestions in that price range. 

This will be going on a Remington model 700 in .243 that currently has a Simmons Aetec on it.  This was my main deer gun until I got a .270 with an IOR 4-12x50mm.  I want to start using my .243 again, but want to upgrade the class. 

Thanks.

kahles 56mm is the best of the bunch out of the three you named - excellent scope model.

BUT if you want a comparable brandnew scope - try the 56mm meostar by meopta - it holds it's own w/ any of the above few.

good luck.

you can get the meopta meostar w/ german #4 reticle - awesome in lowlight

the american swaro isn't as good as the top end swaros - the kahles C is excellent -

my cousin just bought one for 1300 bucks and it is amazing.

it's the best of the 3 - unless you want the side focus, then get the CL.

seriously pick up and look through a 3x12x56 meostar.  you won't put it back down.

i own a 56mm meostar and i can't tell much of a difference if any between the kahles.  and it's only 700 bucks or so.

good luck.

Kahles CL...

Do a "SEARCH" (click it on the top of this webpage) on the CL & you'll see why.

Congrats on a great decision!  You won't be disappointed.

Let us know what you think once you get a chance to dial it in.
