[QUOTE="captainjoe, post: 511316, member: 33428"] The only other scope that I know of is the Premier 3-15x50 Lightweight Tactical. I know very little about the company or the product. On the other end of the price spectrum, I have looked at the Weaver Tactical - [url=http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=911627]Weaver Tactical Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 3-15x 50mm 1/10 Mil Adjustments Side Focus First Focal Illuminated Enhanced Mil-Dot Reticle Matte - MidwayUSA[/url] My concern is durability. I don't expect my scope to be perfect after falling 1,000 ft off of a cliff, but I do want it to hold zero and track well despite the beating my magnum will give it. What good is a scope that doesn't hold zero or track well? I know the NF is famous for this ability. I have Googled around on this topic. It is clear that there are hunters using the NF F1 similarly to what I do and don't mind the weight. I am considering going ahead and giving it a go. If it's too heavy, I'll sell it on or maybe put it on another rifle, though that means i need to find some more coin to buy another scope... which is what I am trying to avoid! :) [/QUOTE]
