Looking for a decent scope, at least 16x with a 1" tube and no bigger than 44mm objective that ranges well for Field Target and can handle reasonable gas ram recoil. Anyone have any recommendations?
I have a few Hawkes with the AMX reticle and love them. If they came in a 16x I'd probably hop on it. I'll checkout that Bushnell tooOlder Bushnell Elite 4200. 6-24 w/ Mil-Dot reticle. Absolute monster of a scope. They aren't in production so you'd have to hunt for a used one.
I've also been very satisfied with my Hawke Airmax scopes with the 1" tubes. I have a 4-12 on my Pro Elite and it has had no issues whatsoever. The AMX reticle would be much better than a standard mil-dot for FT as well.
Any particular reason why you are set on a 1" tube? That is really limiting your options. If it's not an absolute necessity a 30mm really opens the door.I have a few Hawkes with the AMX reticle and love them. If they came in a 16x I'd probably hop on it. I'll checkout that Bushnell too

The Hawke Vantage comes in a 4-16x44 SF model w/ Half Mil Dot reticle. They use the same glass as the Airmax. Might be a good choice. Shouldn't be a problem finding a 3d printed enlarged sidewheel for ranging.
