Help me find an optic. Criteria inside
I’ve been shooting a good bit of precision rifle matches lately, and I have some scopes that get the job done but aren’t quite checking all the boxes
I’d rather have a slightly lower crystal clear magnification (18-20x) versus a hazy 24-25x
Trijicon’s Accupoint 5-20 mildot pisses me off because it’s got MOA turrets and a MIL reticle
I want:
Exposed (not capped) turrets with a zero stop function
Side parallax
Objective size and tube size doesn’t matter but 30mm tube and 50mm obj is sort of the middle ground
FFP preferred but not required
MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA, just needs to MATCH.
A reticle that offers precision capability...not too thick or cluttered. The NF SHV MOAR reticle in their 5-20 optic ($1195) is about perfect. The Leupold VX3i-LRP 6.5-20 TMOA reticle ($900) is great but only available in SFP.
I’d like to stick to about $1000 but I’d kick that up a tad if it meant I got the whole list (like the SHV 5-20)
The Vortex PST 2 5-25 doesn’t seem worth the upgrade. The GLx Primary Arms optic offers what I’m looking for but I have a hard time believing it would offer the same glass etc as a NF or Leupold etc. I say that however but the SLx 3-18 Apollo 224 Valkyrie model I got on sale just to test looks better than my Gen 1 PST 6-24, and the turrets, glass, and reticle in the GLx 2.5-10x44 my buddy snagged on Black Friday Really impressed me.
Any QUALITY scopes in the ballpark I mentioned? Swinging for a $2000 optic isn’t quite in the cards at the moment
Thanks

Anything holding you back from the SHV? Seems like that meets your criteria.
Burris XTR II is probably worth considering.

I haven't looked through the SHV, but that reticle looks to be the same thickness (although different layout) as my ATACR 4-16 and I find that very usable, even on a B/C steel at 850. I've heard good things about the SHVs given their price point. Seems like a great option.

Scope list has some decent sale pricing on Leupold VX-5 and VX-6 models right now. I've always been really impressed by Leuopld's glass and they are good at keeping the weight down, I've just never been a huge fan of their reticles and their elevation can be a bit limited in some models. But worth considering.
