[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 17751, member: 25"] Feifer, Merry Christmas! Enjoying the quiet time before the family arrives to open gifts and injest a turkey - thought I would try to answer your ?. I do not know this for sure but expect the 56mm lens provided performance specs that the NXS designers wanted. The 5.5-22x56 is a very big scope, maybe too big to look appropriate on that rifle, not sure. Also look at the 3.5-15x50 (or 56mm if you like big lenses) NXS, it would be a superb scope for your rifle (there I go back to the 15 power scope - right...). NXS is significantly more money and it is significantly more scope, the performance is there to my eyes. The NXS in 5.5-22 is a very good scope and several guys on this forum use it a lot. Same goes for the 3.5-15. My 4-16 Nikon gives the NXS a pretty good run in the field and is much cheaper. Same might go for IOR, have heard a lot of good stuff about them, hope to see them at the SHOT show. I would contact Richard Near ([url]www.nearmfg.com[/url]) for one of his bases, put the scope in Badger rings and you would be good to go with topend mounts for that Weatherby. [/QUOTE]
