[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 55516, member: 1940"] If you are indeed putting this scope on a hunting rifle that will be carried around I would consider a 4.5-14. Your field of view on those 6.5-20 scopes at closer ranges is going to be tiny. I once had a client with a 6.5-20 that had to pass up a shot at an elk because all he could see was hair. He couldn't tell what part of the elk he was looking at. I've shot at prairie dogs out past 500 yds with 14x and had no problem seeing them. A week ago I compared a Leuy 4.5-14 to a Zeiss, side x side. My new .243 will wear a Zeiss. One other scope I've used extensively is IOR. Heavy, like the NF, but a lot of scope for a price closer to the Leuy. [/QUOTE]
