Rifle Scopes Needing scope help.

[Pronghunter]

I’m needing to pick up a scope here quickly.
I’m trying to figure out which scope or scopes out there would fit this description the best.

Needs to be MOA. Ya Ya I know.
Generous eye box.
18x minimum. Not up for debate.
Be able dial. (capless elevation)
30 or 34 tube is fine.
Simple clean reticle “preferably”
Illumination is a must. Would like just a dot.
Under $1k
Be reliable.

I’m not sure exactly what’s out there. My brain hurts from trying to go through every brand.
I figured I’d ask the community and someone could probably set me on the right path.

You might find an moa scope in the px that’s been bumped several times and there willing to make a deal since you want moa. Those seem to go unwanted quite a bit. I know this isn’t technically help for you but worth a search.

Thanks. Yeah I will start watching the classifieds. I just don’t really know what’s out there to even look for in the classified as as far as what would meet this criteria. I do appreciate it.

The Burris XTR3 5.5-30x in MOA is on sale right now at Eurooptic for right at $1k.

Also significantly over your budget but euro optic also had the ziess s3 in moa for $1,700

I just checked it out. If it has a generous eye box and great glass, that would probably be what I would pick up here. I have it in the cart. I’m assuming they do have excellent glass? And they are reliable?

In my opinion, I haven’t seen anything better for $1k or less. But I’m not an optics snob so maybe some others will chime in. Mine is two years old and is 3-18x50 version. The glass is decent, it has tracked great, and has held zero through some pretty rough treks through the mountains. It’s not perfect by any means but for $1k I don’t think you’re going to beat it.
