No man sized targets.
Im talking precision hand loads and good scope magnification suggestions around the $500 price mark. What is out there on the market right now? Paper targets don't move. So Tracking is not really that important. |

I used a 6.5-20x Leupold EFA fine duplex, for round targets the dot works well. Quoted:

Check out the Sightron Big Sky II line. 6-24x50mm would be a good mag range for you. Link and a price point? I did find this - Sighttron Big Sky |

If you can step up a few hundred bucks, the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x FFP is a killer piece of glass for the price. I was totally considering that one too. Where is a good price for it? I want to get into optics and precision shooting - handloands - for my ultramatch setup. I am trying to look before I leap. |

Primary Arms and OpticsPlanet both occasionally run 10 percent off sales that work with the Vortex optics on their sites. |

Since your funds are limited but your highest priority is being able to shoot accurately and precisely, I would suggest a high magnification bench scope which is not variable powered. For precision work, power, quality of the optics, and ability to hold zero are the three most important thing to look for. You basically cannot reproducibly hit what you cannot see. Ask ANY world class shooter trying to do the same thing and you will find they use scope with power in the +40x range. I suggest fix power because you will get better quality optics for the same price than variable. |

As it is a varix-iii (leupolds old top of the line scopes from the 90s early 00s) |
