[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 337134, member: 11717"] The Huskemaw is a relatively new product. There is a write up on it in the technicle articles section. I might be wrong, but I dont think it is made with near the same standards as the NF. NF scopes are built to very demanding specs using the highest grade materials and are battlefield proven. Is all that necessary for a hunting scope? It sure gives me the warm fuzzy when I'm carrying mine. I just dont know to what specs the Huskemaw is built amd how well it will take pounding from a 300 RUM amd how well it will hold up to a hard fall on a mountainside and how many seasons the turrets will track reliably. I would sooner buy a Clearidge or Vortex for $650-$700 before buying a Huskemaw for $1150. The BDC turrets are great for some applications, but like I said earlier they have limitations. If anything about your load changes, your scope is usless for LR until you get a new turret and you can not put an MOA turret on it because the clicks are not MOA. I would never get a Huskemaw. I have to ask the BOTW guys, why should I buy a Huskemaw for $1150 vs buying a Clearidge for $650 and putting a BDC turret on it for another $75 and having a back up MOA turret, just in case? I dont think they can answer that question. [/QUOTE]
