Hawke Vantage IR Geweerscope 3-9x40 1 inch

Sighted in at 50 yards in about ten minutes, and the eye relief is forgiving enough that I never had to strain. The 3-9x magnification range covers everything I need for deer stands and open fields, and the parallax stayed crisp through the whole zoom.

The illumination on this scope is the standout feature for me—the red dot stays crisp even in bright midday sun, which I wasn't expecting at this price point. Eye relief is generous too, so no more kissing the ocular lens on heavier recoil days.

Zeroed it in at 50 yards in about ten minutes and the glass clarity really impressed me for this price point. The illuminated reticle makes low-light shots much easier to spot than I expected.
