Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40
Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40
Both of those should run $140-$175
If you want to step up from there, go with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40. Eurooptic is the only one still carrying them new that I know of, and $299.00 is a steal for that scope:

i can't imagine having a scope NOT at least 12 magnification. Don't always need it i damn sure wouldn't hunt many places without it.

That's pretty exaggerated. The majority of shots, especially here, don't require anywhere near 12x.

yeah not saying required but i'm a zoomer in mofo... i also like the ability to overzoom to check for spikes and buttons etc.

ground check...

I generally never have to shoot past 200 yards, so it's not needed. I can't imagine needing it unless you were shooting past 400 yards, which is something I wouldn't currently do, regardless of scope magnification.

yall are nuts. trying to rationalize not having a 4-16 scope.

More $$$
Larger
Heavier
Low light performance not as good, especially at higher magnifcation
Close shots more difficult
Have to bother with parallax adjustment

I have a Mueller APT 4.5-15x40. While it's not the best scope, it is the best for the money, and I like it more than most (not all) $3-400 scopes I've looked through.
$160
13.75" long and 52mm OD
Not at all heavier
Comparable to a VX3
It starts out on 4x
Has yardage markers for parallax adjustment

I have problems early/late seeing. What you ya'll think?
Depends on the magnification. Also depends on the lens coatings and what spectrum of light they are designed to transmit.
Rule of thumb....... the more power, the larger the obj lens should be. This ensures the the exit pupil is sufficient to totally saturate the pupil of your eye when dilated thus giving you perception of a brighter image (not to be confused with light transmission).

true dat.
this dude is off his rocker.

Just winging it, but I guess that means that your eye can use the whole lens. Kinda like putting your eyeball on the lens instead of far behind it 
Posted on 11/30/15 at 4:16 pm to Hammertime
There is a beam of light exiting the lens. The size of the beam is a function of the zoom and objective lens. If there is a smaller beam of light than the size of your pupil, you won't be getting the maximum volume of light in your eye possible. If the beam of light is larger than your pupil, you're getting the maximum amount of light possible from the scope.
Like it was said earlier, it doesn't have anything to do with brightness. Exit pupil is more like volume while light transmitted is more of a quality thing.

So you're saying my kaleidoscope is a POS?
