I have a Redfield revolution 4-12 on my .270 and from memory it was about 370 a few years ago. I have a hard time telling the difference between it and a VX2

Can't go past the Leupold VX1 for a budget.

Little less zoom but 4-12x40mm is about $400.

I've taken a liking to the Zeiss scopes lately.

Moderate price, but excellent quality.

The Terra 3X 4-12x42 is about $500. Not as much zoom but I reckon it'll be sharper than anything else for the price which has more zoom.

I'd take the quality over that.

2c.

Meopta Meopro 4-12X50 is a pinch over $500 if you want an option with a bigger objective.

I rate their glass highly.

I really like he redfield revolution, I've got 3-9x50, crystal clear nice fine reticle. Best optics I've bought for the money, $360. Apparently the revenge series is not quite as good as the revolution according to friends who have both.

I've got them on both my rifles. Check the signature below for models.

I have 4 - 12 on my 25.06. But I guess it depends on weather you want to shoot little objects at 500 yds, or big objects at 100.
12 or 14x is heaps for a 25..06 IMO.

Mmmm. My thoughts too.

Is this a game or varmint setup? Or target?

[mausermate]

For that money? LYNX. you will only get the 3-9x40 for $500 and is a really nice hunting scope. dig a bit deeper and you get the 12 power.
They are as good as any VX3 Leupold or Zeiss Conquest and have a really nice fine reticule for the long range shots with that 25/06.
Super tuff. I have one on a 243 and another on a 6.5. I know a contract roo shooter that swears by them.
Very, very hard to beat for the money.

The VX-3 are great scopes but gotta agree the price is a little unfriendly.

Compared to how good their cheaper options are anyway. A VX-2 is still great and much less $$$$$

I was also thinking of the vortex diamondback hp 4-16 x 42.

I originally had a nikkon monarch 3 4-16x42 ordered but after waiting over 3 months for it I cancelled the order.

Shame, the Monarch is a good scope. I love mine.

3 months is asking a bit much though.
