I have two of the 3-9 Trijicon Accupoints. Both have mil-dot reticles. For a light, set and forget scope, I think they are hard to beat.I have a trijicon accupoint 3-9x40 with a triangle post reticle that provides about the brightest, easiest aiming point of any scope I've looked through. Illuminated by fiber optics and tritium so no need to worry about batteries, forgetting to turn it on or off. Check them out if you haven't seen them before. Rock solid dependable scopes too.
Correct
2-7x40 firedot. One moa dot. Excellent scopeWhat power do you prefer? For short ranges there are some great options.
I'm guilty of doing that myself, don't notice that the issue has been resolved and add my 2 C.I have a Swaro Z3 10x with the BRH reticle that I really like in the woods. I have other scopes with more magnification but since being in Virginia (from a tree stand or side of a hill) everything I have killed has been on the lowest power setting from each rifle or muzzle loader.
EDIT: Well I guess I should read the entire thread.
Hello shooter! I have similar combinations of rifles and glass. Without going further, IF the Leica looks good to you eyes, I would stick with it! I haven't shot with top end Leupold, so not first hand experience. For my eyes, again very subjective, Leica stands above many others tried and even (cough) two Schmidt Bender scopes I have owned. I have a 2.5-10x Leica ER on a Win70 FW .30-06 (I also have 10x42 binos) -- this combination has closed the deal on many Eastern white tail and even NM elk. MPBR is +/- 265m with factory ammo and BDC reticle just in case.I've been hunting with a bigger scopes the last few years. My last "simple" scope set up was an older VX-III 3.5-10x40 and it served me well for my eastern white to a hunting. Hi bought a VX5, 5 years ago and have added a Leica since then. Last year I killed two bucks during rifle season one was 80 yards and the other 70. The Leica (Amplus 6) , and VX5 and both are bigger with dialing capability.
I have a lightweight 308 that I want to scope. I'd like to set a max point blank range and be able to hunt from the tree stand to about 250 yards. I'm wondering what is the best glass for good resolution in deep timber and hardwood bottoms, with lowlight capability.
The market seems to be so big and flooded right now. Should I go with a Leupold VX3hd? Swarovski Z5? Something else?
I really wanted to like it - almost pulled the proverbial trigger on it. Except, I couldn't get into it even from a 5-25x PMII. No exposed turrets didn't allow for my desired uses. Don't want to sound like a salty-*** poor, but Eotech 3.5-18x really delivered the goods on their scope. No tall-target test yet, but repeatable dialing has been 100%.You didn't state a budget, so...

Then give some us some feedback, because I have been foaming at the mouth for one of these...
