Sightron?

For me the Sightron has superior optical clarity vs the GE. If you are really budget minded wait for a Weaver T36 to pop up in the classifieds for $350.
 
For 1,000 yard work(F class), which of the Sightron scopes is the go to with what reticle?
If money is no object and you can make the weight with a heavy scope then the SVSSED 10-50x60 is the way to go. I have two of them. Mine have the MOA-H reticle which is a little busy but it works for my old eyes. This is a fairly heavy reticle but has a center dot and heavy hash marks. When the light conditions aren't favorable to see the dot against the black center of the target it is real easy to bracket the entire black circle using the hash marks with this reticle. Although I have never used it the sightron MOA-1 reticle seems to be a little thinner and also has a center dot and hash marks. If I had to do it again I would give this reticle a try.
The great thing about sightron is that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to have a reticle changed. The last time I had it done (on a sightron Slll) it was less than half the price of having a Nightforce reticle changed.
I totally agree with HTSmith above the sightron fine cross hair reticle is very fine and can be hard to see especially on a black target center. The reticle I had changed was a fine cross hair that didn't have the little dot in the center.

I second the SVSSED, bought two and I really like them however the clicks aren't the bank vault type of my NF comp and my sightron SIII
