Good day all! So here it goes with an other question that might not have answers šŸ˜‚....
Iā€™m in the market for a new light and compact scope, it will be use for hunting big games inside 250m!
What Iā€™m looking for is as follow, good quality(like Leupold quality) 1-6x20 or 24, 1ā€ tube maybe 30mm but nothing bigger, no crazy turrets, no tactical reticule!!
So Iā€™m looking for something that would have an illuminated dot, but still have cross hair of some sort.
And all that under $1000!!!
If you know of such scopes, pleas chime in with brand and models and where one can find it!!
Thanks!!
 
Steiner P4Xi 1-4 is very good, it is 17.3 oz. Cons: only 4x. $1185
Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x24, 14.4oz, $1300. Very simple reticles.
Nightforce NX8 1-8x24. 17oz. Very questionable value at $2.3k, just noting that is light and compact. Optically not good at all.
Primary Arms SLx FFP1-8x24.#17.9 oz. $750. Dim illumination. Circle reticle if you like that.
Meopta Optika6, pretty new scope, very limited availability. 20.4oz. Not day bright illumination.
Swarovski Z3 3-9x36 (or 3-10x42) king of the lightweight 12 oz. (12.7 oz). Around $1k. Not a 1x, no illumination.
DELTA Stryker HD 1-6x24. 17.2oz. $1k. Illumination is outstanding. Closed turrets, MRAD cross hair, center red dot illuminated.
Minox All-rounder 1-5x24. 17oz . Should be very bright dot illumination. It is fiber dot and uses 2 cr batteries I think. $1600

PS
I'm sorry. Strike Primary arms and Nightforce out, they are tactical.

How about Schmidt & Bender Hungaria 1" 6Ɨ42, $819, 16.6oz ? If you don't really need 1x, take Swaro Z3 if you don't care about illumination that much.

If you want a real illumination red dot and cross hair - DELTA Stryker HD 1-6x24. Nuclear bright.
 
I'd look for a used Leopold with the fire dot, and maybe a #4 style german reticle, they seem to be among the lightest weight.
It looks like some of them have been discontinued lately.

I have one of the discontinued Leupold VX-R 1-4 with the fire dot and it is very nice glass. Only 4 power but plenty of magnification out to 200 yards.

Iā€™ll see what is out there!! I think I would prefer 1-5 1-6, maybe I would consider 2-7 with the same features!!
 
what is the reason for the 6 in a 20 tube? optic are always a compromise and i do not see a big improvement with a 6 instead or 4 or a 5 in those small tube.

inside 250 yards the old 1.5-5x20 will work great maybe a change of reticle.

i may be to dig into some scopes and show you what can fit your needs.

let me know.

As I wrote 1-6 20 or 24, I guess in a 20 it would be up to 5 and then jump to 24 for a 6!?!?!
Iā€™m not set on those requirements, hence my idea to go maybe with a 2-7 instead! I already have a 1.5-5x20 VX3i that I like, I would like to try something with a red dot if I could find something that look normal lol, not tactical and not bulky!!
But sure if you feel like digging around and showing me what you have!

I think the all-rounder replaced the ZE5.2. I have the 1-5x24 ze5.2 and it has amazing glass. The illuminated number 4 reticle is great. The ZX5i line has very good glass. The ZX5i 1-5x24 was great value for the money. Unfortunately, I believe Go Big Tactical cleared them all out very recently. If you find a used one, go for it.

Check out the Athalon 1x8. I think they are about 800.00 Wolverine carries them. I really like mine. Great clarity.

I will have a look for sure! I just noticed that Leupold have a 1.5-5x24 illuminated in the new VX3HD for $800 I think....

Looks good, but the reticles are a bit busy to my liking.... I want something that is simple hunting reticle with a red dot thatā€™s all ��
 
Stay away from the vortex strike eagle1-8 and the bushnell 1-8 scopes
I have both and the eye relief on them is terrible
The 1-4 bushnell is good, Steiner 1-4 is good, Burris rt-6 and the xtr2 1-5 are also good in my expirence
 
Just have a look through a Steiner P4Xi 1-4...crisp and clear edge to edge....the reticle might be a style you are looking for too..center red dot and just a couple of hash marks. 4x might be worth considering?
....and if not good...well it will just help you confirm what you do purchase is the right purchase.
