The vortex is not in same classification to others at all.
Not sure what your what your trying to achieve but with those magnifications your gonna want moa or mil Christmas tree style reticles to go with your target style turrets and illuminated to make it make sense.
Basically if going for mrad mils you'll want.5 mil or .2 actually hash marks not bdc style crap.avoid hunting style reticles and get mil or moa hash marks style reticles .that meopta bdc is opposite of what you want
Get the Christmas tree style reticles and illuminated not bdc style.no sense in having that much magnification with bdc or standard crosshairs

Do yourself a favor and buy a Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 or a SWFA 10x42.
Christmas trees belong in the woods or your house, definitely, not in scopes.
83% of all statistics are made up.

I'd seriously look at the Bushnell Elite scopes BCLC has for sale in the classifieds

Those are target rifle scopes. Not good hunting scopes IMO
What is the rifle and what are you doing with this.... Deer hunting?
Can anyone give a good answer to this question without a little more info?.... No, they can't.
C'mon guys....

None of them? I'd go with the Zeiss but know better than to hunt with scope with 6x base magnification....

Bad thing the Zeiss v4 models are only sfp I believe.thats alot if magnification for hunting and sfp imo.
The reticles available for the meopta in 4.5 -27 are terrible.the mrad in the 5-30x is fine though
I prefer sfp for hunting but after 15x or maybe 18x I want ffp .unless it's a dedicated target scope for f class type shooting at always known distances then sfp is better .finer reticle
If you like vortex the strike eagle 5-25 has a better track record than pst gen2 and better reticles than others mentioned .
If you want something better than everything mentioned midway has athlon 4.5-30 ares etr for $747 .great deal on a $1200 scope. It blows away everything mentioned.check out reviews you won't find a bad one and ffp with good reticle and it's not a huge heavy scope compared to some.vortex razr and nightforce nxs killers for sure

You better run to the classifieds and buy one of the Bushnell LRHSi's that BCLC has listed. Those are rock solid and good glass. A world better for dialing than any of the 3 you have listed. Plus its got the best hunting reticle I've ever found for a FFP scope. The doughnut of death is for real. Theres a reason those scopes have an almost cult like following in the long range hunting community

Never ask for scope opinions without stating intended use.
You're only as good as your worst shot-
