They are great scopes and don't require batteries for the dot. Some of the Leupold VX3 HD would hit your price point. the 2.5-8 or 3.5-10 would work well. If you can find one a Leupold VX-R is a fine scope for the $. There's several others that come in at around 600. My advice is avoid the 50 or 56 mm objective and spend the $ on better quality glass . Good glass is where you get clear , low light performance . You can get that Accupoint under $600, just like the other scopes I suggested.

Whatever you buy, get a 50mm objective lens - woods hunting means you fight the shadows while it’s still legal shooting light. 50mm helps you with that. Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do. Si vis pacem, para bellum. Proud crossbow hunter!

No problems. I have a Zeiss Duralyt that is good, a Minox ZX5 3-15x50 that I think is really a Leica thats amazing and believe it or not a Nikon Monarch 3 4-16X50 BDC which is also very good in low light. I do have a Vortex Viper 2-10x44 and its pretty good too. The Swarovski is on my list to try.

Crazy how close the Meosport came. And I think I paid $400 for the Meosport. The R2 is several times that. The degree to which the very best Scopes are better than the Meosport isn't really needed just to place shots on deer.

For $600 you can move up to the vx line that will do all you need a scope to do.I’ve hunted with Leupolds for 30 plus years. I own several and have never had one fog. Idid have one vari x Ii (economy line at that time) that wouldn’t hold zero. They replaced it without a problem.

Just search the internet and you will see what I mean. To add a scope to the list, I just got my 2nd Viper HD scope. It’s new for the year. Improved glass and coatings. To me, this thing is optically on par with the VX-5 for 500-600 bucks. Plus, it has an illuminated dot.
