Swarovski. Here is a good deal on a lightly used STS 80 scope body. It does not come with an eyepiece, so you have some flexibility to get the one you want.

We happen to have both of these scopes, in stock, if you're open to buying used. Zeiss Conquest V4 4-16x44 Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 The VX-5HD is a good scope. As for the clarity of the dot, that's up to your eyeballs. But, there's nothing wrong with the dot.

The Trijicon VCOG is advertised, by Trijicon, as durable. From their website: With a forged 7075-T6 aircraft-aluminum-alloy housing, the VCOG® is an exceptionally durable and nearly indestructible sighting system.

I appreciate the hard work you put into this review. Thank you. I think the T6Xi line of scopes is really nice. As you said about the 3-18x56, "The T6Xi is punching above its price point." The T6Xi 1-6x24 also fits this description, in my opinion.

Nothing you have said is incorrect. However, you have a pretty wide variety of optics that you're considering. None of them are bad, but they each have their own unique strengths. Can you be more specific about your question? Are you mostly concerned about weight, field of view, value for the...

Yes, the level uses the illumination to indicate.

It's already out in some of Leupold's scopes. It seems to work as advertised. The first time I encountered it, about a month ago, I thought the battery was about to die, because the illumination kept blinking. But, once the scope is level, it quits blinking. You can turn this off, if you want...

That does sound nice! 21 ounces, too.

It's often said that the actual dependable range is about half of what is advertised.

Here's a lightly used Trijicon Credo HX 1-6 for about $600.00. But, we also have the Vudu 1-8 and 1-10 for less than $1K. These are all nice scopes. The Credo HX has the brightest illumination. I like reticle on the Vudu 1-10 because it does a good job on both 1X and 10X, which is difficult to do.

Here's a good deal on a lightly used Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50. It's FFP and less than 30oz.

This illuminated TMOA Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x44 would be good for your uses. It's less than 22 ounces, and it leaves a lot of money left over for other goodies, too.

We have lightly used MOAR versions of both the 4-32, and the 2.5-20 here. I like the 4-32, for your use.

I'm not sure these would help you, but they're convenient, for me. You would need a pretty big trigger guard, because these aren't very slim. https://www.truckgloves.com/collections/ski/products/trigger

Because you mentioned possibly hunting with it, I would choose the 4-20. 1. It's a little lighter. 2. It's a little shorter. 3. It has a lower bottom-end magnification.
