[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 136126, member: 10"] The 3.5-15x 50mm NXS gets overlooked ALOT in favor of the higher magnification 5.5-22x. In some cases the higher power certainly has its advantage but for most big game hunting, even long range big game hunting, the 3.5-15 will give nothing up to the higher power scope and in many cases outperform its more potent brother. If your looking for a great big game hunting scope, do not overlook the 3.5-15. YOu can not go wrong with any NF scope really but the 3.5-15 has some serious merits to consider before buying the 5.5-22. Now for small target engagement, the higher powered scope will have more advantages. That said, I had my 3.5-15x 50mm NXS on Black Sunshine when I killed that chuck at 2370 yards set on 15x. It was certainly not overly magnified by I could tell what I was shooting at and I could take a quality hold for each shot as well. I was not aware that the 3.5-15 had an extra hash in the NP-R2 reticle. Probably because I generally use the MLR reticle. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
