New Scope

[tmvikings]

Looking for a new scope for a 300wm - not looking to go over 1k. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

My 300 WM wears a SWFA SS 6x42, not expensive and tough, as well as tough to find right now.

What are you looking to do? Set it and forget it, dial, hunting, target, etc.

You need to talk to Schmalts!

Go to Leupold.com, look at the VX3i and VX5 Rifle Scopes, examine the features and choose the one you think best fits your needs, and PM @schmalts the model# or #'s for pricing.

I’ve had good luck with Tract Optics. They only sell direct, so you won’t find them in stores or other online retailers. But there’s a lot of online reviews that are very positive. High end componetry such as Schott glass. Their top of the line hunting scope is $750, but compares to scopes selling for over $1,000.

Another vote for giving Schmalts a call.
As well as being a member, he'll steer ya right, and give you a good price!

+1 for Schmalts. I suggest VX5 3-15x44 depending on your application. I chose the Impact 29 reticle and I'm very happy with it.

I just put a Leupold VX3i 4.5x14-40. It’s got the cds turret with there version of a zero stop, side focus and a 30mm tube on my Bergara wilderness ridge rifle. It’s still a pretty light weight scope. I’m pretty impressed with the little I’ve gotten to shoot it.

If you are wanting to twist turrets for longer ranges look at a Razor LHT or Zeiss V4. Need more information to really be able to help you

If I was in your shoes, and have been several times, I would go with a VX-5 or a Nightforce SHV.

Not sure what you want it for, but if I had a SWFA 3-9 on every single rifle I own you wouldn't hear me complain about it.

NightForce SHV 4-14x50mm F1 Riflescope?​

 

[tmvikings]

I get a great discount from Vortex but not 100% about them.

 

[tmvikings]

ZEISS Conquest V4 looks very tempting

NightForce SHV 4-14x50mm F1 Riflescope?​

I have two rifles with SHV 3-10x42s. One with the lit reticle and one without.

below is the lit reticle on top of a Nosler 48 Liberty in .308win.

That's a nice rifle OP, <2k scope budget gets ya in to some pretty good alpha glass. Swaro, NF, Schmidt & Bender Klassic, etc..

Another vote for the SHV F1. It's obviously great for long range application, but the reticle is also easy to locate for short range targets, which I think is the mark of a great FFP scope. I've used mine on shots from 600 to 50 yards.
