Bolt action rifle (Tikka T3x CTR 24”)
6.5 Creedmoor
Target / Midrange competition
Daytime
300-600 yards to start
FFP, Mil-Dot, side Parallax, windage
Budget is up to $1000

I’m looking for a suitable new riflescope with above mentioned parameters (and anything else worth suggesting) for a Tikka T3x 6.5 Creedmoor SS 24” in KRG chassis.
Purpose is strictly target shooting and possible mid-range competitions. The local range is 400 yards but with a little travel I have access to 800 yards. Weight is not much of an issue. I will not be doing any hunting.
 
Depends
You have the usual chinesium suspects:
Bushnell Match Pro 6-24
Strike Eagle 5-25
Athlon Midas Tac 5-25 or 6-24
PST Gen 2 5-25 (made in philippine but hardly any better than the Chinese offerings)

Otherwise with a bit of luck and patience you can get good Japanese glass. The Bushnell HDMR/LRHS/LRTSi do come on sale or close out and should be below 1000$ and even the 3-12 will get you to 600-800 yards no problem.
I got my Athlon Cronus (made by LOW in Japan) for less than 1000$ when they where on closeout at cabelas.... that’s a lot of scope for the money.
I think the Crimson trace FFPs ones were on close out last month, not sure how much are left but they were very good for the price.
