Best 1” scopes

[nhenry]

I'm looking for a sub-$800 scope with a 1" maintube.

I want at least 3x on the low end, doesn't have to have a crazy high end. I'm even good with 10x.

Anyone have recommendations for good, reliable optics in that price point?

Leupold VX-Freedoms are under $400
Burris Signature HD's are 1"
and the Vortex Crossfire II's are ok

Burris Signature HD's are 1"

That was a great suggestion. I haven't looked into Burris yet but I've never heard anything bad. Thanks

I tried all but the Leupold.

For the money, your going to be really hard pressed to beat Crimson Trace!

Really good glass!
Silky smooth adjustments.

I have 4 of their Hardline Series, and a Series 2 FFP.

PS. I have 4 Burris Fullfields that I'm sending back in for warranty.
Glass is ok, but all of them have at least one adjustment that will not move.

Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40

 

[AZShooter]

If you are not a turret twister the Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 is excellent. Lightweight at 13.4 oz with a built-in illumination feature that is adjustable and requires no battery. I own one with the green dot (TR20-1G) and another with the green triangle/post (TR20G) which is the fastest acquisition system I own. FYI at first view the triangle seems somewhat crude for sighting in but if you twist the screen to block the light the triangle becomes a fine black outlined triangle perfect for sighting in.

Swarovski Z3 3-10x42

Used a Swaro Z3 on a 300 RUM. No issues and it was super light.

I had a Nikon Monarch on my RUM when I put it together back in 09 and it shot very well. Since then, Nikon got rid of their rifle scope line, but I read an article that the guy who was the head of that line started his own company. For the life of me I can find that magazine or remember what the name was. Not very helpful for you but maybe someone knows what I'm talking about and can shed light on it.

I've been pleased with the Burris Signature HD 3-15x44. Clear glass and tracking had been spot on.
