Ohhhhh... I've got no complaints... I've put them side by side with some vortex models I had and then sold off the vortex ones. I couldn't see a difference between the two.What I mean is how bright is the scope itself, how much light gathering.

I've looked at primary arms quite a bit actually but most of the ones I've seen have exposed turrets I'm really not wanting exposed turrets if I can avoid itPrimary arms is my vote. I have a few of them under $200 and even one on my Barrett m99, still holding zero after hundreds of rounds
I’ve got a vortex. Older diamondback. I’m pleased with. Non illuminated reticle. The illuminated reticle also give me the wash out. I also do not favor mil-dot. I would think you could find a leupold in your price range, however I have not priced scopes lately. And I usually get a discount.I've got a new rifle coming & will be shopping for a scope though I'd get some opinions on scopes people have actually used or are using first hand, please no suggestions you haven't actually tried but "think" are good. Rifle is Ruger American Predator 6.5 grendel, will be 95% coyote rifle & deer hunting the other 5%
Here's what I won't compromise on
(1) illuminated reticle
(2) somewhere between 3-12 & 4-16
(3) needs to be bright enough for last light hunting , brighter the better
(4) $400 or less.
I've looked at everything I can think of lately and am more confused than when I started
At the price point you're looking at they're all going to be chicom, maybe Philippine...but those are as good as chicoms IMO.I'd also like to avoid Chinese made optics and would like to at least have it come out of the Philippines , south Korea or Japan since I can't afford a U. S. Or European made scope. It's a tall order which is why I'm seeking input
Sorry but I don't think you can get Schmidt and Bender for that price.I've got a new rifle coming & will be shopping for a scope though I'd get some opinions on scopes people have actually used or are using first hand, please no suggestions you haven't actually tried but "think" are good.

UV flashlight.... works well .I have looked through a couple and I ended up not seeing a critter at the dark thirty hour because the lit up t cross hairs washed out the picture.
So a good test would be to look about 150 yards at a line of trees with a critter standing at the edge of the trees and see if you can still see the critter or even still see tree trunks.
I am done with illuminated scopes and just like a thicker reticle.
Like a Nikon Buckmaster.
Maybe higher end scopes are more fit for this task.
I do not like to shoot at last light at deer.
What if it takes off after the shot. You spend all night looking for it.
Coyote. Yea take the shot
