[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 1052869, member: 13831"] So what are your intended targets for 1K and beyond? Also, what is your budget....and is this a "Multi-purpose" rifle? Reason I ask.......there's really good options out there....but from what you've posted...it sounds like you're trying to have a hunting rifle that you want to also shoot targets at extreme ranges. That complicates things....especially when you start throwing in "Light weight." I have used Sightron SIII's for 1K BR shooting ...one was a 10-50X and the other is 8-32X. The 8-32X I can also use to shoot varmints at long range and it was used by my son to take his first deer. For small targets at long range....I need more magnification than 14 or 16X YMMV. The Vortex PST would also be a nice choice....I've got a 6-24X FFP that I just got and it would fit what criteria you listed. Another option.....and it weighs more.....but would have excellent glass and hold up to the punishment of your 300WM for decades is the Gen1 Vortex Razor 5-20X. I don't think you'd find a better deal on a top tier scope than this right now: [url=http://www.eurooptic.com/vortex-razor-hd-5-20x50-rifle-scope-ebr-1-moa-35mm-rzr550.aspx]Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 Rifle Scope EBR-1 MOA 35mm RZR550 on sale[/url] The extra weight is worth it in terms of reliability, ruggedness and lens quality. I think it would deserve consideration. Good Luck, Wayne [/QUOTE]
