I'm trying to decide between the newly released NightForce ATACR 4-16x42mm F1 and the ATACR 5-25x56mm F1
I have a 26" 7mm LRM custom hunting rifle that finally arrived so now I'm looking for an optic. I'm new to the long range hunting community but I'm a very experienced shooter. I'm very comfortable making shots to 350yds with my previous 30.06.
With a max of 16x what distance would most experienced long range hunters feel comfortable taking a shot at an Elk or Deer? At ranges exceeding 600 yards what power do you typically have your scope set to?
The overall size, weight, and lower cost of the 4-16 has me leaning in that direction. Would a 1000yd shot be much easier with the 5-25 than the 4-16?
Thanks for your input.
