    Best Hunting Scope for around $1,500

    Give or take $500 what is the best hunting scope for around $1,500.

    Brand and Model

    VX6HD, Nightforce, Swaro, Zeiss?

    I like the idea of being able to zero at 100 yards and dial in from there. I don’t want a scope that is super heavy like some of the pure tactical scopes can be.

        5 x 25 x 52 Swaro with ballistic turret. Crisp crosshairs , and some of best glass on the market.

        What caliber rifle will it be mounted to?

                    Swarovski z3 with the ballistic turret. Great glass and very light. Can be found for as low as $900

                          My first response for a hunting scope in that price range is typically Swarovski but you mentioned dialing so that changes my answer. Swaro’s hunting scopes aren’t made for that.

                          I’ve always felt Nightforce glass was inferior especially given the price point.

                          The Leupold VX6HD is probably going to be your best bet. Get it with the ZL2 turrets and a good reticle. Zeiss high end glass is good but their turrets typically aren’t great.

                            Not sure if it's still available but was a hell of a deal on Leica er5's, think euro optic had them on sell

                              For clarity and light gathering Swarovski, Leica or Zeiss. For ruggedness and precision Nightforce. Nightforce optics are not great and Swarovski, Leica, zeiss turrets system and tracking (clicks are mushy)are not great. Maybe look at a Leupold mk4 or vx6 . Of course this is just my opinion.

                              Kahles and some Sig are highly rated but I have no experience with them.
