its like that for any sfp optic
by one i did not mean 1 power, just that its not valid at all magnifications
Ahhhhh well in that case maybe I should do a fixed mag prism usually lighter then any lpvo and still pretty valid in all but perhaps knife distance and really it may be better to draw my blade at that point and hope my medieval sword training with a short sword beats a guy with a knife heh.
Plus cheaper since price includes a mount.
Question becomes then, should I do x2 x3 x4 x5 or x6?

My 3x Vortex Spitfire is low enough to allow me to go between both eyes open and left eye closed at close to medium range without much disorientation. That won't win any 3 gun competitions and takes a bit of practice. It's also enough magnification to get the reticle where it needs to be to get it on a 12" plate at 500 yards if I can build a stable position.
Let's go Brandon!

So with the likely ammo I'll be using with the probably and hopefully never range of 500-600 yds and probably working 300 and below a 3 or maybe? 4x should be plenty

If you're interested in something a little more precise may I suggest my favorite scope; a Gen I Vortex PST 2.5-10. It's light. It's clear enough. 10x allows for precision at distance; 2.5x is fast on target. The reticle might be a little fine for the woods, but the illumination helps with this. Its just a good, all rounder with the right magnification for the Grendel. It's in your price range. It has the Vortex lifetime guarantee. Mine's in mils but the one linked is in MOA.
If I could only have one optic, this would be it. https://www.eurooptic.com/vortex-viper-p...0s1-a.aspx
Edit: I forgot to mention one downside to this scope: fixed parallax. Not a big deal for me as most of my shooting is at 200 yards and beyond. Serious target shooting probably are interested in a $350 scope anyway.
THIS RIGHT HERE!!! Super good value at $350.

Sorry, zero experience with those... Currently own a mix of PA, Vortex, and Nightforce.
Hope you find something!

Meopta makes great scopes. You won't be disappointed by the glass, or the build.
They made the Zeiss Conquest line which is now produced as Meopta MeoStar when the contract ended.
They haven't been marketing as effectively as they could, so aren't as well known as they should be.
I would have gone for a MIL over MOA, but that is personal preference.

I understand completely but for someone like me who has adhd that reticle is far too busy for my eyes. I like to keep KISS principle in my reticles.

Also I do still need to pick a mount for the scope.
