HuntHarder Report post Posted August 25, 2022 Depends on what you are looking for in a scope. Some mentioned in here are great scopes, but they are HEAVY. I think the Zeiss v6 series is a really good compromise. Excellent tracking reports, lighter weight and probably some of the best glass in the price range you want. Nightforce are great at tracking, but the glass is meh and they are heavy. The ATACR series has good glass, but adds even more weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If i were making the decision today... I am leaning towards Zeiss at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am going to step down to a 3x or 4x something. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks for the offer Amigo... but I am leaning away from Vortex at this point. Best of luck with your sale!

I just looked online and the Zeiss V4 Conquest in the 4-16 X 44mm config is on sale at Basspro and Cabelas for $799 right now. I might need to take a trip!

I have enough elevation to get to 2200yards with my current load. I hear the glass is pretty dang good in the newer GEN III. Scopes are built like tanks. I replaced a Vortex PST II with a Bushnell LRTS on my 300 win mag. Its working well for me at 1 mile. I bought both mine used, less than $800 a piece. Those high end Bushnell's looks real nice. Wish they were available in MOA. I'm too stubborn to learn mils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STOMP442 Report post Posted August 25, 2022 18 hours ago, Cambow said: What do you guys think is the best long range scope under $2k? The one you are running. The Leupold LRP I think is one of the best scopes made. Light weight, clear, simple to use, and reliable. Its too bad they don't make them any more. The VX5HD is the next step up and an awesome scope that still meets your under 2k criteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
