[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 189816, member: 2011"] well.......... The first suggestion, which has nothing to do with optics, would be to bag the nosler brass idea. Unless, that is, you're not going for maximum loads. The heads/webs are just too soft. Primer pockets loosen quickly at tip top end loads. I'd consider WW brass over Nosler. More capacity...... Regarding glass. For dedicated LRH a 50 mm objective would be optimal. However, it looks as if you are anticipating shorter shots, with the ability to take advantage of longer shot opportunities. A 42mm would be sufficient for that and 14X is plenty. I use a Weaver Tactical 4.5-14 42 or 44 mm and she's plenty in any light. It would seem that any of the scopes you mention would have accurate clicks. Side by side evaluations would be the final test and should be conducted under less that optimum light conditions. Just my opinion....... I'd also strongly consider a side focus over an AO. Its just more convenient. [/QUOTE]
