I hope to start hunting soon. Still deciding on a rifle, but I've already chosen my scope, Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42.My next scope will probably be a Nightforce 2.5-10x42. I little heavier than a leupold but I’m going for durability.
I removed a 6.5-20 and replaced it with the much smaller 4.5-12 on a medium weight 6 BR and can shoot it as good. If you can't estimate the range between 550 and 575 yds, or can't allow for every nuance of wind swirl along the way, I think your packing weight for nothing.

ATACR glass is superior by a long ways. The shot at first/last light is going to come down to what scope and objective size you are comparing.Anyone use both the NXS and ATACR? Is the glass noticeably better in the ATACR to where it would make a difference on a first / last light shot, or more of a nicer to have but won't change the shot opportunity and you're lugging some extra weight?
They are not even in the same reliability universe as NF. For similar money, one would be a fool to buy Swaro. Mine lasted 600 rounds before failing to hold POI. All on a 7-08.Why doesn’t anyone ever mention the swaro X5? Is it not tough enough? I also have swaro spotter, binos and scope. Not an X5 yet though.
Get an ATACR, and be done. Second guessing your equipment is a horrible way to hunt. Been there done that.Anybody have an opinion on a Swarovski Z6i 3-18x50? I have a budget up to $3500 if need be. I just want the best for hunting sheep.

X5. The glass wasn’t even as good as my ATACR or BEAST. Lesson learned.Is this an X5 that failed for you or one of their lesser models?
