Going on a 308. Will be used for hunting, but also intermediate range shooting out to 600ish yards.
Needs to be at least 4-12x50 and 30 or 34 mm tube. Would prefer a little more magnification.
Needs to weigh less than 2 pounds! I don't need or care about an illuminated reticle.
Would prefer a reticle with holdover marks/lines. (Maybe wrong term?) I.e. I don't want a simple duplex or mil dot reticle. Doesn't need to be BDC.
Don't expect top tier glass, but needs to be at least decent.
I currently have an Alpen 2.5-10x50 that I have shot at 600 yds and spotted another shooter's hits on steel at 600 with. Alpen went out of business a while ago. My Alpen was under $250 and for the money was surprisingly good glass quality. I've seen newer scopes that cost more money with a lot worse glass.
I'm just looking to upgrade to something with a little better glass, more magnification, a few more features.
Any suggestions that check all the boxes and aren't $700 and up?
