I'd like to get opinions/reviews of the Weaver Tactical 4-20x50 scope.  This seems to be least expensive scope with 30mm tube, FFP, mildot reticle, .1 mil/mil adjustments, tactical turrets, etc...  How's the tracking, construction quality/rugedness, optical quality, etc. that would make it a good scope?  Are there any other scopes with all the above listed features that are under $1k that you guys would recommend?  Thanks.

The SS 3-15 would be my choice.

+1 on the SS 3-15.  

Recently went through the same debate between the Weaver Tactical and SWFA SS 3-15x42.  While the SS has a lower magnification top end and smaller objective, reviews I've read on the SS plus my own experience with their 1-4X scope swung me towards the SS.  My SS arrives tomorrow, so will be able to give you a better assessment

The Weaver Tactical is still a very solid scope for the money.  With the $100 rebate, the price point is comparable to the SS.  Doubt you will be disappointed with either.

If you go with the weaver in the 3-15 it's also illuminated emdr reticle. I know you were looking at 4-20 but thought would throw that out there in comparison to 3-15 ss
