VX 6 in 3 - 18 X 44
Under that criteria, don't forget the Vortex Viper HS LR...I've been in the same boat. I wanted a few things, SFP, 30mm, Illum, big objective, capped windage, zero stops, medium price range. Here's what I came up with:
Sig Whiskey 5 3-15x52. It has all these features for $1,100
vx5hd 3-15x56. Also has all the features for $1,100
NF SHV 5-20x56. More power than I wanted but the less powerful SFP doesn't have zero stops.
Monarch 7 3-12x56. It has a zerostop, only if you use the XR ballistic turret (that's my understanding so far), little less power than I wanted and they are $1,000
All said and done, i'm leaning towards the VX5 because I wasn't that impressed with the glass of the sig and nf, not the turrets on the sig.
