I have a 5 lb NULA coming. I've been researching scopes and have a weight limit of 16 oz, although I have been sorely tempted by a few 20 ouncers.
I want high quality glass and MOA turrets that are accurate and repeatable. This rifle will hunt elk every year, but it will shoot far more marmots and a lot of turret turning will happen for that.
So far Leupold seems to offer everything I want. The VX5HD 2-10 with CDS-ZL2 turrets looks about perfect, as does the Swarovski Z5 3-18, or the Z3 4-12. Only problem with the Swaro is their turrets, they are quarter inch instead of quarter minute. Small difference but shooting at marmots out around 700 yards the difference is a hit or a near miss. I use a G7 BR2 rangefinder and it gives me MOA corrections. I've also looked hard at the Loopy 2.5-8 VX3i from Hollands with their ART reticle and cds knobs.
Is there anything else out there to recommend that would fit my parameters?
