Respected Budget optics to look for?

Just bought a new Vector Optics Continental 4-24x56 Tac VCT-34 FFP IR 34mm from Tactical Scope Ltd. for just over £400, including their online account set-up discounts. It has good reviews elsewhere on the forums and good glass, and at first sight it really does have good glass and great value for the price. Very happy:D
Nice pun too 😘
You’ll easily get a Leupold VX-3 6.5-20x50 within that budget 👍
Don’t know whether it’s just me, but I find the eye box a bit fussy ( Especially when changing mag) on Leupold scopes.
I’d want to try a Loopy before buying it.
Ken.

I’d agree with you on the 8.5-25x50, the eye relief is pretty critical & the glass is also a bit ‘dark’ - I had a Mk4 one but sold it because of that. Never had any issues with the 6.5-20x though.
 
I look through a lot of scopes daily, modern scopes, I.e GPO, zero tec, vortex, are all on a par with the s/h german optics, I would buy a Leupold vx5 over a swaro everyday of the week, better value, and yes I have a fixed swaro.
 
Sorry, I haven't been on this thread of a couple of days,
I would be 100% Target for the moment... The stalking side is something I may look into when I have more experience... there is one thing shooting on a range surrounded by people, but I don't feel ready yet to be out on my own or with just one other person with me... be a year or two I think before i look into Stalking..

Thanks for the replies.. I must admit I feel a Leica or Leupold or something 2nd hand DOES sound very tempting... hopefully with FFP and a decent set of hold overs so I don't have to fire up a calculator when moving from 200m to 500m... Cheers guys!

I will save up for a few months and shop around in the summer (I need a Moderator for my 308 first before upgrading the scope.)
 
I’d throw delta in. I had the bigger version of titanium and it was great. Would be perfect T for target shooting.
