I have no experience with Vortex turrets or tracking so I can’t reply on that part.Last edited by Radar; 12-02-2017, 05:37 PM.

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.

OP, used is the way to go. As has been said, swaro and lieca are best glass but both have awful turrets. Same with zeiss.
The only vortex I'd recommend is the gen 2 razor. You can get close to your price for one pretty often. VX6 is good. Vx6 HD is good. Nightforce NXS is good but glass isn't as good as the others on that level. Nightforce ATACR can be had for your price used in SFP. Good glass and bulletproof. Stay away from Steiner, low end vortex, bushnell, sightron, Burris, Nikon, zeiss conquest(older ones) turret issues with the Zeiss. Those all have sub par glass and or turrets and reticle options for the money.
I'm far from a pro but I've used a LOT of difference optics and will help you find a deal if you'd like.

I think OP said he was looking for a light weight scope, the vortex Razor Gen 2 is just over 3pounds... I run this scope on my 6.5 tikka Tak A1 and it is a fantastic scope. The turrets are awesome, zero stop, lit ret, rotation indicator and holds zero perfectly. However i would not run this on my hunting rig because of the weight unless i was sitting in a blind.
Now the vortex Viper Gen 2 might be worth a look !

This is absolutely FALSE.
Unless you are talking about the Razor Gen 2 and it’s just as expensive as the others so......

I’ll go against the grain here and recommend a huskemaw. I have 2 and love them both. Good glass, great customer service and I really like the turret and it has a good zero. Have one on a 7 RUM for about 4-5 years. It’s been to Colorado multiple times and tossed around and beat up. Still just as crisp as the day it was bought. Look into them

They have a tv show to sell them, but I never (hardly ever) read about people who have one.
