[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1480649, member: 96226"] 1000 yards is the new 200 yards. For me it's honestly starting to feel a little close. My coach and I like shoot that kind of distance offhand nowadays to make it properly challenging. Don't make me come up there and show you how quickly you can pick up the sport. First things first, you'll need information that's not based on someone liking the thing they personally have. I like and use US Optics almost exclusively nowadays but that's just my preference. Most people will recommend whatever they have. I find that less than useful. The fact of the matter with scopes is you get what you pay for mostly. High end Leupold's, IOR Valdada's, US Optics, Khales, Schmidt & Bender's, Vortex Razors and Vipers, Steiners, Burris XTR's, SWFA, Bushnell Elite's, Nightforce and on and on are all very high quality scopes and you'd do well with any of them. Weight being a factor for you pretty much pulls the Razor2's from Vortex off the line but there are relatively light scopes in the mix. Really high quality comes with some weight. The best tip I can give most new entrants to the sport is only buy the features you need and don't try to cheap out. Since you're looking at a V6 Loopy, you're already not cheaping out. Getting a scope that has everything plus the kitchen sink for features at a price point very much lower than others in the same configuration means that they had to save money somewhere, usually by poorly implementing those features or by using garbage glass or both. Given your attraction to the V6, you may also want to look at Steiner T5Xi, Burris XTR 2, anything in the Bushnell Elite line EXCEPT the 10x40, IOR Valdada 3-18x42 Tactical, and quite a lot of others. To make any more of a usefully helpful post we'd need to know what kind of shooting you plan on: Hunting, PRS, casual horsing around, F-Class, etc... Then we can all pummel you with much more specific and relevant answers. [/QUOTE]
