Rifle Scopes Help with the best 3-12 for the money

[generalquark]

Hi,
I want to get a 3-12 scope for a 6.5 grendel, but I want to make sure I am not missing any scopes, just for lack of hearing about them.

I am looking at the Burris XTR and the Bushnell Elite 4200, but wanted to make sure there were not any others that are in the same class. I want to keep it under $800.00 for this scope. Any help would be great. Thanks!

the Zeiss Diavari is perfect except is has a non adjustable parallax. I would go with the Bushnell Elite over the Burris any day!!

Have you checked out the Vortex Viper scopes? The PST series is due out soon but even the PA might be what you are looking for.
The PST will be around your limit and the PA less.

i seriously think everyone is super excited about a scope they've never seen. a few people have seen them but not many. I do like the features that they are supposed to have.

+1 in fearing that there may be some group-think going on . . .

I looked at the Vortex Viper Series, but I saw nothing for 3-12 scopes. I am really stuck on this zoom range. Thanks for the comments and keep them coming if anyone knows anything in the 3-12 area.

Burris XTR over the Bushnell 4200 -- hands down.

The Bushnell 4200 scopes are a good value. I like my 6-24x50. I'm looking forward to Lowlight's review of the new ffp models.

bowslngr, I think the features on the Bushnell are better but thats just my opinion.

You might find a used Nightforce 2.5-10 in that price range if you watch the For Sale section. Have seen them for $900 a few times.

ffhogue,
Does that Hawk have an option to get turret knobs, or is that not possible. I forgot to mention I would like that as well.
