Scope quest

[kiester]

So I've had these.

Leupold 1-4x24 ar model. Problem no illumination

Leupold 1-4×24 vxr patrol. New problem not enough magnification

Vortex 1-6 strike eagle. Problems- Heavy, clarity, illumination too much, washes out eyes when coyote hunting.

Leupold vx6 1-6x24 CDS illuminated dot. Problem, no bdc reticle, best of all 4 at low light but its 24mm so it still leaves me wanting. Great scope btw.

Want 1-6x42 or similar with dot illumination, bdc reticle, American manufacturing or similar.

No Philippine burris, must have large objective lens, dot illumination and bdc.

Any recommendations?

Have you looked at the
ATN DGWSXS520Z X-Sight II, 5-20x/85mm Smart Day & Night Rifle Scope?

Leupold Mark AR with the Firedot? I don't think you're gonna fine a 1-6 with a 42mm objective....

I have actually, thinking about it. Never had one, have you?

I prefer leupold, Just not happy with low light conditions and 24mm, plus I need 6x or more to hit consistently at 400 plus. Notice I said I need. Zeiss is the only thing i have found. Thanks for replying, that is a great scope, nice and light.

I've got two of them. 1.5-4x24 and 3-9x40. Both great scopes!

Sig Sauer Tango 6
The best illumination adjustment I've had on any scope. Superb low light visibility and clarity.
Problem might be it's heavy at 25oz.

Reticle options:

Light transmission is limited by your eye more than the scope. To determine exit pupil, you divide the objective lens by the level of magnification. Worst case scenario, a 24mm objective divided by 6x is 4mm. The human eye can't use much more than that.

Huh. You're a fart smeller.

Okay, booty licker!

Uhhh, fart smeller=smart feller. Booty licker=looty bicker. I retract my previous statement.

Oh, I didn't get it.

Clearly.


Speaking of clear, to the OP I really would suggest taking a peak at this:

VX•R 2-7x33mm | Leupold

Guy from leupold said something similar, but when I put a leupold 24mm vx6 against a leupold rifleman in low light the rifleman pulls more light. So do my other 8 scope above 40mm. Maybe it's just me though.

I am totally looking at that. Wish it was 1x, I can see so much more at night with both eyes open. But I am still considering it heavily.

I shoot both eyes open unless at really tall magnification. I think it will fit your needs nicely.

Looks nice, it would out perform my other 4 scopes in 24mm?

I have a Nikon monarch 5 in 2x, I will try it. I did not think of that.

Great comments all. Thanks

No Idea. With any scope, YMMV.
IMO, as far as image quality across the magnification range and in low to full light, it is right there with my Leopold VX7 and Mark 4.
