I Do not think you will find much love for Huskemaw here.
What price level did you have in mind?

899 ish a vortex could work , maybe even a athlon sothing not sure on your feelings on there ret choices , but minox has some offerings in that price range , crimson trace , bsa , swfa , swamp fox there 50k round warranty put a stop on me getting one but there 500 price was a nice draw , you could find the guy in the forums that works with or for camera land and see what they have available or look in the px maybe a used scope you may find . The post link what ever it's called here for euro optics seems pretty good , good luck on what ever you get .
The fact of the matter is, pretty much anything that is clear with a good reticle will work for hunting. You could get a Leupold VX2 3-9 and be fine for any ethical shot from most $600 hunting rifle. There's a lot of cross over between "hunting" and "tactical" scope recommendations. Bushnell Elite series is highly recommended on here for the hunting side.
Ive heard that they had problems with dials not being accurate all the time is that true
With the Leupold it depends, the nightforce is most likely going to track. If they don’t both companies will fix it.
How is tve cds dials
I've got Athlon and Vortex and have been very happy with both brands.
I'll go ahead and say it Bushnell lrhsi or lrti... Just thrilled with mine...glass above it's weight class and not too busy of a reticle....also great clicks that track.....
Good, I haven't done a tracking test with them yet but they do seem to track well.
PS I own both the nightforce and the VX5hd
For $1k, SHV 4-14x50. Tracks reliably and has enough magnification
We just put the Nightforce SHV 3-10x42mm SFP - Forceplex on sale for $749.99
Do you have anything similar with a wind reticle
Always best to call so we can discuss options and pricing
How are the turrets do they remian accurate? I heard leupold had problems with that sometime?
Also how is the glass on those?
They remain “true” really accurate
The glass is as clear as one could wish for, especially in low light! And it doesn’t get foggy on25x like most glass does
Awesome i will for sure check them out
This doesn’t meet your 18x magnification desire but I assure you its plenty enough for hunting out to 1k and beyond. There is simply not a better deal on the planet right now. These are reliable, track well, and have glass well above their price. This is what’s on my hunting rig.

What does glass compare too??This doesn’t meet your 18x magnification desire but I assure you its plenty enough for hunting out to 1k and beyond. There is simply not a better deal on the planet right now. These are reliable, track well, and have glass well above their price. This is what’s on my hunting rig.

Better than the Nightforce SHV F1 I had. Better than the Super Sniper HDs I’ve had. Slightly behind a Razor I’ve shot.
John
Hard to find those seems like
LRTSi is essentially the same scope as the LRHSi. Locking windage turret instead of capped. Reticle is slightly different. I‘ve had both. I actually prefer the LRTSi. Provided the link above.
John
Sightron S-III with the LRMOA reticle is a lot of bang for your buck.......Magnification is your friend. You can always turn it down....
Do they come in any more power? What about the bushnell dmr and dmrii?
If you don't mind the weight, the Bushnell LRTSi from Cameraland is the best buy on the market right now. If you want to go a little lighter, check out the various Nightforce SHVs.
Yes its a good one. Just thinking if 12 will be enough
Absolutely. 12x is plenty. I'll even wager you'll find yourself routinely killing game at lower powers. FOV is king, and with rock solid turrets you'll most likely range your target, dial, kill.
We've got the Bushnell LRTS 3-12x44 on sale for $699.99, the Nightforce SHV 3-10x42mm SFP - Forceplex for $749.99 and we are including a free Kestrel with the purchase of a new Bushnell 3.5-21x50 DMR II. Please give us a call to discuss what would be best for you

Is that sale still on the dmr ii for 899 i missed it
We will do the DMR II for members here for $899.99. Just call in and mention SH (The Kestrel cannot be included at $899.99)
I have a vortex diamondback tactical on one of my guns that has the magnification you are looking for. Seems to track well and is tough have fallen on rocks and in the field and always has held zero. Its pretty cheap and tough. just my .2 cents
Tried calling in are you guys closed?
Closed on Sundays. Here all week
Excellent low light capabilities
Thats a good one but went with bushnell instead for 899
