My 30-06 is a 52 year old Remington Model 700 BDL. It still shoots great.
The current scope is an old Bushnell fixed 6x which has the dial-in post feature. I always liked the post for brush shooting, but it is off-center and not worth sending to Bushnell for repair, since the warranty is long since expired.
I am considering a basic 3-9x variable of good quality. I do not need all the long range options there are today, just a straight forward, reliable scope with a duplex style reticle (or a variation of it), with standard adjustment turrets. Top priorities are brightness (for dawn and dusk), maintaining zero, fog/water proof, multi-coated lenses, and durability.
I would also like to stay below $600 purchase price. Anything more than that will simplify the purchase for me. I would just buy a Zeiss Conquest, like rides my 300 WSM. Your thoughts and recommendations?
