$800 to spend on a scope.....

[txhunter90]

Looking to buy my first real higher end scope.

Have around $800 give or take a little. Strictly a hunting scope but here are a couple that I have my eye on for the price. I know this is like beating a dead horse, but I am stumped. I know I can not go wrong with the ones listed, but still like to have others opinions or any other recommendations. Do not really shoot extreme range, but my ideal scope is 3-15, 3-18, or 4-14 somewhere around there.

TRACT TORIC UHD 3-15x44/50 (Japanese Made, Schott glass)
Leupold VX-5HD
Zeiss Conquest HD5 3-15X42
Burris Veracity 3-15 (can get the cheapest)
SWFA SS 3-15x42 SFP
Sig Sauer BDX system 4.5-14

Here are just a couple.

I went with a Swarovski Z3 from Sportoptics.com for less than $800. I love it!

The VX5 is what I'd go with. You could also have a Swaro Z3 for that price as well. Eurooptic usually has a good selection of Swaro Demos.

I would choose the Leupold and be done with it. It just won the "Optic of the Year" award as well.

Is that the 4-12?

Meopta is another good one in that price range. Can get a 6-18 for that price

I can get a used vx6 for around that price as well used. The vx6 is what I wanted initially but didnt want to cough up the coin.

Yes have looked at those, but have never looked through one. Have heard good things from them.

Yeah, I believe so. Its been so long since I've looked at it, but I have it on a 6.5X55 Fieldcraft.

I just put the VX6 HD on my custom 300. Shot it last weekend. And hunted with it as well. I’m in love wish I could have them on all my guns.

+1 for the Leupold. Great glass and best warranty.

I'm Leupold fan. That would get my vote.
