These three scopes seem to be about 350 to 400 dollars for variable up to 24 power. For my purpose which would be better and why? Will be using it on a .270 for now, but will be getting a 260 Rem or 6.5X55 eventually. Do I need the Sightron elevation for 500 meters or will the others do fine? Any advice. Plan on buying before Christmas. Thanks.

The Sightron II is a good scope, but the Elite 4200 is better, followed closely by the Monarch, of which I own both.

I do not know how Weaver stacks up to the others in cost - But I would not trade my weaver T-24 for any scope. It is very bright and and I have had no problems with it at all. It has been on everything from a 22/17HMR/223 Bushmaster. It now sits on my bench TC Encore 1" bull -223. If I had to do it over.........T-24 again and I would be all :grin: over and over.

I really like the Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24 scope. But for the life of me I can think of no useful purpose such a scope will serve on a .270 Win.

For variable targets like HP silhouette, or when I see a coyote laying on a snowie slope a long way off, my pet is my .308 Rem 700 varmint synthetic with a second generation Springfield Armory scope.
This scope when you load a 168 gr sierra match bullet @ 2600 fps, the ranging redicals are right on the mark.It makes no difference if your holding on 200 yds or 600.
My scope has no parallax adjustment and it is parallax free. With the 30 mm tube and that big 56 mm objective there no fuzzy edges or distortions, and the adjustments are 1/8 minute.
I bought this scope rebuild for $300. I don't care if you spend $2000. you wont find a rifle scope that is brighter in low light. I have a lot of so called top of the line scopes, this one is a step above all. Some day I would like to have the third generation.
