Best all arround scope

[Lasiocarpa]

I like my SWFA fixed 10x more than I thought I would, but for all around use it is a concession up close.

Good glass is never a bad thing but is pretty far down in my list of requirements for an aiming device.

Personally, I want more help with wind holds than a mildot offers. The MQ is an excellent all-around reticle.

I would like to try the new S2H scope.

I’m sure that MQ reticle in FFP on low power with that shit glass is dynamite for a close range shot in low light. Wind hold might be last thing on your list to think about, but at least it’s way cheaper than the best.

Shit glass? I have a feeling you’ve never used one….
A fixed 10x is never going to be the “best” for all around use. Even at 400-500 yards I’m often on less than max power for ease of spotting shots

Here's my definition of "best all around". My original take of the OP's question was what do I think is best all around. To me it is a scope that is at home one a .17HMR to a ..300 win mag. and everything in-between. If I only had 1 scope to swap from rifle to rifle , the VX 3 wins hands down.

someone once told me the best scope is the one you practice with the most. more or less thats true

I’d take a 3-9 swfa at 4x for close range/low light over a fixed 10x of any glass quality.

Not sure there is anything I really like as a "best all around" as there are little things/compromises for everything. 3-9 SWFA is a good affordable option but it is a bit crude in regard to zero stop, tunneling from 3-3.75x ish. Glass is more than adequate though. I like more magnification at the range when shooting steel and paper but 9x isnt a limitation for any shot i can ethically take at an animal. NXS 2.5-10 might be a slightly better mouse trap for 3x the $.
