[QUOTE="jvr, post: 1807279, member: 20433"] Check out sightron si iii. The glass is as good as nxs. I have both. Eye box is a tad better on the nxs. The dial is repeatable and huge range of adjustment. I would get the illuminated reticle as they are a little thin. But thin is good for long range. If I was hunting more. Sfp all the way. Ranging with the reticle takes practice and it is always based on a known size of the object you ranging. Which is rarely available when hunting. Use a range finder. Ffp gets small on low power and is lost when daylight is minimal. To me 3-something is a better hunting scope because you are hunting...your game gets a vote on when and how far it presents itself. 5x @ 20 yards is a lot of mag on a big animal. If you’re only hunting small game in the middle of the day on tundra at long distance the higher mag may be required. 15x at 1000 is not a problem. You just have to be able to shoot. FWIW All that said. It is cool to have the big mag scopes. Tactical ones are even cooler. That is the reason to build a hunting rifles and tactical rifles [/QUOTE]
