Looking for a lpvo in the 1-x range to throw on a light 300mag for hunting. Primary concerns are recoil durability, low light clarity, and illuminated. Trying to stay under $500.
With my first child a few months away I am trying to finish off a few rifles in the safe. I have Sporter weight 300mag I've had 25 years that just donated it's glass to my wife's hunting rifle and therefore it needs a new one.
My land will give shots on deer up to 300 yards. I pighunt a few times year with family down south and in the next 5 years or so my buddies and I were planning to make as trip to an Idaho hunting camp in their family for elk. This rifle is mostly second fiddle to my primary howa 6.5G, but I still want it set up because it will the primary if we go after elk.
I really want to toss a 1-6 or similar scope on the rifle, but sadly most are set up for ARs. I like the vortex strike eagle but hate the reticle, I have looked at the Bushnell forge 1-8, and I really like the idea of it, but worry about a China scope on a 300. The Bushnell smrs is really nice but too expensive for a rifle that gets less than 50 rounds a year.
Any thoughts?
