So far in my very careful methodical research I have narrowed it down to these scopes


[ul][*]Trijicon Accupoint with the dot reticlel 1.25-4(I love this scope)[*]Bushnell 4200 1.25-4[*]Sightron Big Sky 1.5-5[*]Leupold VX-III 1.5-5[*]Meopta low powered scope[*]S&B low powered scopes lit reticle[*]Kahles low powered scope lit reticle[*]IOR[/ul]
In my research I found out that the new Leupold 30 EUROPEAN scope the 1.5-5 or whatever power is using VX-1 Glass and costs as much or more then the ones I have listed with the exception of the last 4. At some point I have to consider the added benefits of the last 4 vs the price. I don't mind paying xtra money for guns or optics but on a gun that will proably be used at the most medium range I think choosing 1-4 might be more practical although door Number 1 is really a very nice scope.
