If using a Mil Dot ret, usually calibrated @ 10X @ 18X the dots are right at 2 Mils. Thus I'd go to at least 20X on the scope.

Advantage of the Zeiss is that they are lighter than the NXS or IOR.

Nighforce has Turrets and reticle in moa which I like.

Personally I like the USO scopes --- you can get exactly what you want.

roy im with you i like the fact that my turrits and reticle are in moa.the onle down fall that i can see is that i cant have a cap on the eye pice because to change power you have to spin it.

boss if my wile would let me justify spending $2000++++on a hunting scope i probably would.

this is why i should never get bored. i camoed the stock i sold the mark 4 that was on it to try somthing new. i got new bottom metal. i should have just built a new gun.

I just received today a new Leupold VX-III 6.5-20 x 50 Long Range, Target with the Varmint Hunters reticle in it for my predator hunting. The turrets on it are 1/4 MOA and the reticle is listed by MOA also. It is a second focal plane scope so you do need to set it on a particular setting to gain the listed MOA. You can also modify this magnification a bit to more exactly match your load that you are shooting. I will be putting this on a new 6mm WOA that I am having built on an AR platform and the MOA differences listed will be a near exact match for the load that I plan on shooting out of it out to the 500 yard lines. A little practise and range time with it and it will be a deadly combination on coyotes as far as I can see them.
