I'm building a 300 Norma rifle and am undecided on glass. The rifle will be used on the range and hunting all over the west. I like the idea of 3-18 for my hunting, but I'm concerned 18 won't be enough top end for range time out to 1200-1600 yards. If I were only doing range work, 5-25 would be perfect, but I'm worried 5x is a bit much on the low end. Looking for some inputs, which would you buy? The Razor gen ii 4.5-27 would be perfect if it didn't weight 3 lbs, but maybe I'm missing some other optics on the market?

Order up a new K525i DLR. It has almost the same FOV at 5x as the 318 at 3.5x.

318 is set up more for balance on semiauto rifles. There's no weight savings.
