Goal is good light transmission and overall quality. I have thought about buying a used Trijicon Accupoint or a Zeiss 3-9x40. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

FYI Midway has a ton of scopes on clearance right now besides the vortex I posted.
I now own more scopes than rifles thanks to this sale. |

I have Leopold vx2 3x9s on my hunting rifles. Nothing fancy but they hold up and they work.

for that kind of money you can easily pick up a Leupold VX3i 3.5-10x. Its a great quality scope, with very good light transmission and with a magnification range completely suitable for your use. As a bonus, its about 6 ounces lighter than many comparable scopes....

They had a browning a bolt come in. Snagged that with a bushnell trophy for less than the cost of the mossberg. I may update that glass though and put the bushnell on my 22

I have the 4-16x50 on that same rifle in 6.5 CM. Great glass for the money and doesn’t weigh a ton. Quote HistoryQuoted:

For standard duplex and good light transmission I like my VX3 4-14x50. It is on my go-to 7mm Rem Mag. Though I may look to upgrade it in the next year or two just because. It brings in more than enough light within legal hunting hours.
If you want a great scope with more tactical style features, I have seen several SWFA SS 3-15x42 scopes on the EE for under $500. Very nice glass for the price, FFP, and a Mil reticle with well respected turrets. I was looking at the Vortex Razor Light Hunters when they were still on closeout last year, but missed the boat and now they are all gone.

Just looked, they are still for sale $442. Just watch the price, it goes up and down. After I bought mine I think 1 or 2 days later price got down to I think $350ish before it shot back up! Anyways... freaking amazing scope for the money, has been awesome on my 16" Aero M5 308 |
