[QUOTE="Alec264, post: 1594914, member: 64770"] Scope choice is an argument waiting at any and all times. I had a glass education when having the chance to use a .260AI custom built with a S&B 5-25x56 PMll. On 6x at 1k+ gave deer sized kill hits. I decided I needed to move up in quality. With my sight I need AO or SF, exception being Burris 3-9x40 E1 Fullfield. My game is for Venison, most on the planet are taken within 200, most of that within 150. Do I need even 12x, not really, and hunting Sambar you go to minimum 2x if you have it. I had a choice of three. Zeiss Conquest HD5, NO, too much colour flair in slight movement, ASSEMBLED in Germany. Nightforce HSV, choice of MOAR reticle, way too fine for hunting, didn`t leave the shop, NO. Nightforce IHR reticle, a bit better, but as the light fell (sunset +30min) yes giving light but the reticle was gone leaving three short, too short bars at the sides and bottom and nothing at the top or in between. If Nightforce say they had these hunter tested they are lying, yes lying ! Burris Veracity, the reticle has four arms or legs to it, in a fine wedge form. It works well, it was the only FFP of the three and I think only works very well because of the tapering arms. For a hunting scope FFP is not good, the fine lines of the duplex reticle will be too fine and fade out. On the reticle subject, this German 4, or 7 type pattern, what`s going on ? I frequently lose the bottom and one side arm, without the top You`re lost [/QUOTE]
