DG optic

[CowboyBart]

I'm looking for now, what has become a LPVO. This is going on a 9.3x64 Brenneke, and will be used as a dangerous game rifle. 1-4X would be OK, but 1-6X is better. It needs to have an illum reticle and a ballistic reticle would be nice. I'm OK with Japanese glass, assembled in Philippines, but do not what anything to do with chicomm stuff. It seems that Sig, Arken and Athalon all have ties to china. Must have a smallish objective lens because it has to clear my express sights. MOA or MIL - doesn't matter as I won't be dialing this in the field. I prefer a SFP, but FFP is ok if the reticle is thin. I'd like to stay under $1000, under $800 is better.
CameraLand's site doesn't break down the features like the old SWFA site used to. That's why I'm asking what do you guys suggest?

Vortex Gen II PST 1-6 at around $600. Trijicon Credo HX 1-6 at around $850. Vortex Razor 1-6. Prices vary on the Razor. Usually $1500, but many sales recently for $1000 and under $1000 on the used market.

The PST is Asian, but not china - right?

You'll have to find your own holds to correspond to the BDC but that isn't difficult.

Likewise, this is a pretty good deal.

Good price, I like the reticle. Just wished it went to 6x

Nice grab. For your purpose it should do well. Your shooting game the size of a horse or bigger and probably not shooting more than 300 yards. I’d use it for deer no problem. I’m also not a mag whore and don’t need a lot of Xs to shoot.

4x is plenty for a DG rifle. I have some Swarovski Z8s but the old Zeiss 1-4DG is one of my favorite optics.
