For that target range two things you don't need are a ranging reticle or target knobs. So that frees you up to consider all scopes that fall within your requirements for magnification range and low-light performance. You're certainly right in that a 1.5-6x42 will take care of both shooting out to 300 and will give you max. exit pupil even at the highest magnification. Stay away from busy reticles. And don't reject a scope because it does offer battery-powered illumination. Those batteries last a long time and you can still use the scope without it. However, it might come in handy just as it's getting light out.
A scope that I can think of that are worth looking at are the NF 1-4X24, which I know is a little low on the high-end mag, but with the NP-1 or FC-2 reticle would be quick and an absolutely solid scope. But you're probably going to be incredibly well-served by the Zeiss Diavari or this S&B: http://swfa.com/Schmidt-Bender-15-6x42-Zenith-30mm-Riflescope-P4805.aspx. You might also consider a USO (just because it hasn't been mentioned) but I don't think their options for objectives vs. magnification are quite what you want. |
Reaction time is a factor...

This is what I would jump on. Lotutec lens coatings, $100 dollar rebate, #4 reticle for would help low light applications. Although with these kind of optics, low light would not be a problem.

That would be perfect for the stated need.

I've looked through one new Victory Divari and it was nothing short of spectacular.

If there is no other comments on reticles, I will let this thread die.
Thanks to all for you help. Steve |
