Tract Toric 4-20 vs??

Buy with confidence. I bought one in MOA last spring after doing a lot of research and it's hard to beat for the price. I won't tell you the glass is on par with my Mark 5 like I have heard claimed but it is better than an NXS and definitely better than the Viper PST or the Huskemaws I have owned.
My biggest complaint is it does have limited elevation, about 60 MOA which on my 6.5 PRC will get me out passed 1200 yards. That being said, if Bushnell's upper tier scopes came in MOA I probably would have bought one. I just wasn't ready to make the switch to Mils.
I have put about 600 rounds through it on 2 different rifles and it has taken 3 deer this year.
 
I have several scopes from Leupold, Vortex, and Tract. I like them all and they all are slightly different. The Leupold are more compact, the Vortexes seem to give you a little more for the money and seem to have the best warrant, and the Tracts look to be more rugged and also give you your money's worth. If you don't already have a Tract, try to find some one who has one so you can look at it and get his opinion. I like all three. I don't have any high dollar scopes so I can't render an opinion on them, but you probably won't go wrong with any of them. Study their features and chose the one fits your criteria and hope for the best. Or do like why wife says; "Buy the most expensive one and you can't go wrong".
 
My scope requirements/wants:

FFP MRAD tree reticle
Zero stop
Locking turrets and/or capped windage
20x or more top end
5x or lower bottom end
As good or better glass than my Vortex PST Gen2 5-25x which to me is quite good
Good warranty
Not made in China or other sub-par production locations
Under $1500
Under 32 oz


Looking at this scope:
* seems to meet all but one

Before I drop the money, what else should I be considering?
Arken....designed by a U.S. sniper....459.00...32 mil elevation 34 mm tube..I would have 10 of them if I lived South!
 
The link you provided says the scope weighs 34 oz. I think some NightForces and Bushnell Elites might be in the same range. Possibly the Leupold Mk5's?
Looked at the mk5's…aren't they all SFP?

Nightforce SHV F1 is interesting…better? I think I didn't like the reticle. Max power too low….meh it is ok. The NX8 is close, but really out of reach.

I fear I can't even tell the difference from the PST GEN2's I love.

Bushnell's are close, but seem to be unobtainable right now…what gives?
 
Arken....designed by a U.S. sniper....459.00...32 mil elevation 34 mm tube..I would have 10 of them if I lived South!
Is the Arken optically equal to the $1500 range scopes? I know it punches above it's price, but 300% higher?
