i missed the budget part, yup forget the parallax models in your search, if you get that's fine but for hunting primary and 10x or less top end just unnecessary weight and complexity
used leupolds way i would go! i'm diehard leupold though, can't imagine running anything else
i got a vx5hd 2-10x42 duplex cds zlm for just over 1k and it's a damn nice scope, buy once cry once but it'll go to 1000 if i want, true weight is 19 oz but adds enough features and ability to skip using 20 moa rails and you get 20 moa per revolution and two revolutions with zero lock and 2nd revolution indicator...the new school base scope imo (ideal for matching capability to a 6.5 CM or any of the new 6.5's getting set up to potential)
