Hi all, I'm new to the forum,

I have a 3-9x50 scope but it's not a good quality one, and it works, but now I'm looking for the next level, and I was suggested the Vector Optics Grizzly (3-12x56) by many experienced players (including this forum).

So, I've spent a few weeks surveying the usual shops, providers, even the manufacturer itself, and the Grizzly scope (3-12x56) is out of stock everywhere (ebay, aliexpress, wish, amazon, optic providers, airsoft dealers, etc).

What alternative do you suggest for a maximum budget of 200€? I'm looking for one with a wide diameter (minimum 56) with quality lens.

Swiss Arms is good. Nikko Sterling Mountmaster is also good. I use a 'retro' Sussex Armoury Hunting Scope from the 80s. You can't buy one anymore but I like it because it has a rounded rectangular reticle.

thank you, I will have a look, it's a bit sad that Vector Optics is not working on the stock for the Grizzly.. it was perfect for airsoft.

You might want to try the Vortex Diamondback, a non-tactical variation of this scope that just features lesser magnification than the tactical model and cost about $180-190

Here it is compared to closest competitors

Best Scope Under $500 [Buyer’s Guide] (Mar. 2021)

The basic variation works great in low light and clear view for the price.

I had a pleasure to test the tactical option on my .338 Browning X-bolt, and I am really happy with the shooting results, as Vortex scope providing sharp and clear image both for close and far targets. Hash marks bellow the cross hair accurately supporting the distance and was very helpful in my mountain goat and white tail hunting.
