Scope Resale Value

[bpuff]

My wife and kids gifted me a Springfield Waypoint in 6.5prc for Christmas. The eventual goal is to top it with a Nightforce NX8 2.5-20, but I have to squirrel money away for awhile to get there.
Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction for the time being. I am looking for a mil scope with a tree reticle, ffp, exposed elevation turret, and illumination for under $1000. Any suggestions for a scope with a 3-4 lower and 15-20 upper end for under $1000. So far I am looking at the vortex pst 3-15, primary arms glx 3-18, and maybe something in the burris xtr line.
My question is, among those choices, or any other options you might suggest hold their value best on the used market? Thanks

Are you a vet? If so, Nightforce gives discounts to veterans.

Thanks for all the input from everyone. The oldest kid has a diamondback tactical 4-16 sitting around unused that I can throw on until I get the nightforce. Still intrigued by the price point of the arken that several of you suggested.

Stick to your plan and upgrade when funds allow, don't finance toys.

I've got the nx8 you want. I like it but $ for $ I like the Arken more. Bought 3 ffp arkens with rings and scope covers from camera land ny for less than one shv nf during a sale/special. Cannot complain at all. Zero issues with any of them. I still have nf on my do or die rifles but I'm buying more Arkens.

Have you drop tested any Arken's?

If ( that's a big word) If you don't drop your rifle you don't have as, much to worry about your scope. In all the years I have hunted I only drop my rifle or rifles once. It did nock the scope off. I had a feeling that where I placed it wasn't going to work, and it didn't. I always think about which way I might fall. So I place my rifle on me so if I fall I don't fall down on the rifle. Like going down hill on a very steep hillside. Generally you wil fall back on the up side. So I don't place my rifle on the high side. If things change I move my rifle to the other side of me. If you don't take care of your rifle it won't take care of you.
