I am looking for a decent long range optic that has an illuminated mil-hash reticle in the sub 1K range to mount on a .308 bolt rifle. I have seemingly narrowed it down to the following but each of them has various issues I an concerned about. Any experience or opinions is welcome. I would love an SWFA optic but none of them match my criteria.
Weaver 3-15x50 Tactical: Good reviews. Good price point. Not thrilled about reticle. Bushnell 3-12x44 Elite: Good reviews. Good price point. Good reticle. Questionable QC. Vortex: 4-16x50 PST: Decent reviews. Good price point. Ok reticle. Questionable glass. Any other options I am missing or should consider ? Thanks. |

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

The referenced optic does not meet the criteria of an illuminated reticle.

Why do you need illuminated reticle?

I enjoy shooting at dusk and low light conditions.

How about the Vortex 6-24 PST? It's not the same power range you mention, but the one I have looked through had very good glass. I have a Vortex 4-16x44 HSLR and the glass is ok, not great. The 6-24 PST glass was much better.
