I am looking for a scope for my rem 700 in 300 win mag. I had a sightron sII big sky 3-12x42 which I really liked but had to move to a 338 win mag for hunting in Alaska so now I need a new scope for my rem 700. I want to upgrade to an even better scope. It will be used for hunting for ranges 0(almost literally) to 500 yds so the low end magnification can't be too high. I would like to keep the cost under $1200 although I am wavering at times. I will be hiking long distances with it so I don't want a heavy scope.

These are the 2 which make me waver on price. Which is prefered BT or BRX reticle

Here is one on the samplelist. I would much prefer the target turret with the IBS reticle but those disappear off the samplelist as soon as the get posted.
