Most definitely!!!!!!
After this year's hunt its a must.
Timing will be the biggest consideration.
Choice is narrowed down to:
Leupold 6.5-20X50 LRT but am down on the fine cross hair.
Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20X50 w/target knobs and plex, mil dot or #4 reticle..
Weaver Tactical 4.5-14X44 one of which I already have and would get another if I could find one. Was shooting at an 8.5x11 piece of paper with BB's patented blue + on it at 400 yds when w/the naked eye I couldn't even see the berm behind it. Shot OK too! Also its kind of neat to be able to move the group an eights MOA at a time.

Yes 5
I just received an as new Leupold VX III 3.5-10X40 Boon and Crocket for my deer rifle a Rem Model7 7mm SAUM.
Also have in transit an IOR 6X CQB illuminated for a 7mm TCU Short.
Both purchased at an awsome price on the Hide.
I also will need to buy the following
Swaro Laser Guide
Nightforce NXS 8-32X56
for my 338WBX
And a Nightforce NF 12-42X56 for my new F Class switch barrel Lawton 7500 in 7mm and 6mm.
Just have to sell some other rifles to fund the last 3.

I am outfitting a new rig entirely. Just got a Weatherby in .257 Wby Mag and it needs a scope, and I haven't decided what I want to put on it yet.

I would buy one in the next 12 minutes
if I could find the answer to my post about the Nikon 8424
That is if it is 1/4 MOA.
Otherwise I'm back to the search

Just bought 2 NF NXS from Lerch and BJ, great guys to deal with. I'm looking for a spotting scope now. Got a big gift certificate to Cabelas 1K and been looking at the leupolds and nikons, wish they had a better selection there. Can't afford the Swaro or Zeiss.
