Looking for durable hunting optics specifically for elk hunting while staying under $300. Any recommendations on scopes that offer great clarity and hold zero well in tough conditions? Would love to hear about your experiences!
 
I ran a Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40 on my .308 during elk season. Even after I took a nasty fall in rocky terrain, it still held zero. The glass stayed clear in low light, and the turrets were great. I grabbed mine on sale for $199
 
When you're looking for scopes, keep an eye out for ones with nitrogen purging, sealed tubes, and a good shockproof rating. It'll make a huge difference in performance and durability
