[QUOTE="davyd, post: 67371, member: 3770"] [b]Leupold or nightforce[/b] Good Thread - I'll ask a related question on the same basis. Looking at Nightforce NXS 5.5-20 X50 or 56 with NPR2 or Leupold Mk 4 tatical 6-20X50 with MLR reticule To go with a blaser R93 professional - with the match .223 barrel (26 inch fluted) and also a standard 308 - that I am about to order. I want to put one quality scope on adn stretch it as far as possible. The idea is this gun system should last me a long time. My current targets are generally varminted bunnies off bipod often at dusk- but every so often there is one staring at you 20 feet away. The .308 will be for deer pigs etc My current Remmington VS700 .223 with VXIII 4.5-14 X50 is a little unweildy for the offhand shots but wonderfully accurate. I like everthing I hear about the nightforce i.e lower bottom end magnification, good glass, good in low light, the reticule selection But the weigh difference 32 versus 22 ounces may be an issue. Will it unbalnce the gun especially if using the standard profile .308 offhand? On the other hand it may help steady waht would be a light rifle when firing this mid sized calibre I would welcome opinions and even alternative suggestions [/QUOTE]
