For under a $1000...lol...that sir is a reasonable budget and an easy answer. VORTEX all the way! Go viper HS-T has 30mm tubes, can go 44/50mm objective. 4-16 power is awesome! There tactile turret is awesome. Oh and unconditional lifetime guarantee regardless of how yah decide or accidentally break it. There's my vote. If yah want a phone number of my dealer I can get that for yah in PM. Jay
I just bought myself a new Ruger Predator rifle in . 223 now i need to top it? What is the best all around predator hunting scope under $1000. So far im leaning towards a Trijicon Accupoint 3x9x40. Any better ideas?
There are some really nice scopes on the market today that are well under that price range. My only suggestion would be, get 50mm lens over 40mm for two reasons. 1) low light conditions the 50mm pulls in more light. 2) I myself can pick up the dog much quicker with the 50mm. I have both, like both, but I prefer the 50mm. Especially after shooting it for a couple of years. Just my thought and worth. ( All three scopes I use are Zeiss Rapid Z's)
Take a look at the Shepherd 5.56. It has a built in range finding ballistic recticle set up. The 5.56 has 9 inch circles graduated out to 1000 yds. Pick the circle that fits and pull the trigger.
Good thoughts AWS, but I've never needed a cheek rest on any gun I've ever shot But I also won't buy a gun be it rifle or shotgun if it doesn't fit the way I want it to. But that's just me and the way I was taught, everybody has there own way of shooting. And I still prefer 50mm.
