So, here we go again. Another scope recommendation thread.
I picked up a Cooper and need to top it. Monte Carlo wood stock, blued action/barrel.
What I'm looking for is light weight, clean (not busy but ability to dial distance), mid power.
Here is what is at the front of the list. (In no particular order)
Leopold VX5 3-15
Zeiss V4 4-16
Swarovski Z5.
The Zeiss seems to "have it all" and at a good price but heaviest option.
The Leopold seems to fall right between the Zeiss and the Swaro.
The Swaro is by far the most expensive, lightest of the 3 choice, supposedly the best glass and has least amount of vertical correction ability (exposed turret only model I'm considering).
I wand a clean, bulk free, hunting package. 700-800 yards and less (I think all 3 options fall in this wheelhouse)
Looking for input from people who have experience with one or more of these choices.
