Looking to replace the optic on my primary hunting rifle as the terrain I hunt has changed. For the life of me, I can't find an "American" (the normal big three brands plus a couple newcomers) with the following parameters. The Bushnell trophy 1.5x6 I bought the wife is perfect, and no longer in the catalogue.
Low end 2x or less, 30mm tube (would consider 1") heavy German 3p4 or similar reticle. They just don't exist, and German/Austrian glass is not in my price range.
All I'm finding are hubble telescopes with tacticool bells and whistles, illuminated reticles, and compact AR style scopes with stupid diamond, circle, zombie, etc busy reticles that do nothing to improve sighting in low light or heavy cover. I guess I'm a hopeless throwback in that I like simple designs that work and will have to shop for something vintage.
