Hey guys, first post here. I’m looking for a scope to get into some long range shooting.
Hopeing to put it on a Howa Hera h7 6.5 Creedmoor. Start shooting a couple hundred yards and see how far I can get that pushed out too.

Currently my scope choices are the

Dnt 7-35 the one
Bushel matchpro ed 5-30
Or I see a used vortex razor 5-20 gen 1

Any body have any experience or better ideas.
Currently the scope I own is a primary arms nova 1-6 lpvo, and it’s crystal clear. Good enough for my .22.
 
Of the options you listed I only have experience with the Match Pro. I prefer the 6-24 over the 5-30, but that's me. I have both.

I'd look for old stock or a used one as the 6-24 has been discontinued and replaced with a 3-18 I believe.
 
I am very happy with Riton; great glass, loaded with features, tracking is 100% repeatable. I have been running a 4-18 X 45 on a 6.5 x 55 for a few years; so impressed with it I have put a 6-24 x 50 on my precision rimfire; I have been running it about a year, and love it. I would buy both again.
 
I have Vortex venom.
My bud uses Arken.
Buy Vortex. People will knock it, but I have had nothing bit very good things to say about all their glass. Binos, 4 scopes. Cheap to high end, Vortex just works.

The match pro ED is the best bang for buck scope available at that price point.
 
I have an Arken EPL4 4 - 16 x 44mm FFP on my 223, it is clear and tracks perfectly, only thing I struggle with a bit is the FFP my old eye's have trouble seeing the dot unless I crank up the power to at least 8X which for bench rest is fine. For $500 they are as good as any budget scope. My 6.5 PRC and 7mm PRC both wear Nightforce NX8 2.5 - 20 x 50mm SFP but now your talking $2,500+ my 6mm creedmoor custom built has a Bushnell tactical XRS 4.5 - 30 X 50mm FFP but that's a 19lb bench rest gun only and again your talking $2,500 +

I got this one from EU during brexit time.
Falcon X50T (target) rated for 1000 meter rings. There is also a new 2024 model available.
10-50x60
NATO restricted, similar to ITAR rules here in North America. (designed in UK manufactured in Japan)

Not seeing it in EU from where I got mine for about $1200 but the Canadian price today is almost double.... as usual.
