Hoping to get opinions on which scope sizes to go with.
Im currently waiting on 2 new rifles. They will be longer range hunting guns for a variety of game.
They are the exact same rifle except for caliber and barrel length. They are carbon/carbon guns that will be around 7-7.5 lbs bare rifle. One is a 300wm w/ 26in barrel and the other is a 6.5 PRC with a 24in barrel. Looking to keep it resonable weight wise once completely outfitted as I do hunt steep demanding country. They wont be "truck" guns... But a few extra ounces for good optics won't kill me either.
Ive looked at every scope option out there and keep comong back to the new leupold mark5 hd MOA. I know leupold has had their issues with tracking in the past.... My hope is this mark5 is a different animal and havent heard much bad about them. Im not set on leupold but I do like the company. Im from oregon and have friends who work there who can get deals for friends from time to time so that doesnt hurt either...
So here's where I'm looking for opinions...
What size do I go with? The same on both? Bigger on the 300wm, smaller on the 6.5 PRC? Give me your thought!!! Here are some specs on both. Thanks!
