Good evening all! I have read many of the threads on scope choices for a Long range hunting rifle specifically in .300 win mag. I was wondering if anybody would like to help narrow the options.
The rifle is a custom and weighs 7.5 pounds and I am looking to keep the overall weight under 10.
I would be using it out to 7-800 yards if I had to but more often than not within 500.
I would like a minimum magnification of a maximum 4 and a top end at about 18 because I do enjoy shooting further at the range.
Thus far I am considering:
Nightforce NX8 either the 2.5-20 if it fits or if I have to the 4-34
Swarovski z6 and x5i
tract 4-20
march 2.5-25x52
zeiss v6 3-18
leupold mark 5hd
I would like absolutely reliable dialing and good glass. I would have already got either a leupold vx6hd or swaro z6 but have been rattled by the claims of less than reliable dialing and return to zero.
I use both first and second focal plane so either is good but prefer second in a hunting scope that I will be dialing for easier use at lower magnification. Any help would be greatly appreciated and any other options to look into would be fantastic!
Cheers!
