Thread: Scope Recommendation

Some good thoughts, thanks guys. To answer a few points raised:
Capped turrets, not going to be dialing.
Probably simple duplex reticle. Basic holdover type like leupold B&C also a possibility as long as not cluttered. Illumination maybe, but that would definitely require 30mm tube as far as I know.
I know including 30mm tubes gives a whole world of options and he's not ruling it out - but unless he's missing out on a particularly great scope with this limitation it's another $200 he doesn't have to spend.
Kahles, S&B, Zeiss (excluding Terra), Sightron options all seem to be 30mm tube.
VX5 is parallax adjustable as well as 30mm tube - for those who have one do you manage to hunt with one set parallax setting or are you adjusting before every shot? How do you find the reduced focus depth vs a fixed parallax scope in practical use?
